Two Days Before iPhone Day, Are You Buying or Not?
The interweb has been deluded with iPhone news, blog posts, predictions, press releases and what-have-yous, the past couple of days. On June 29, at exactly 6pm (Eastern Time), the first units of the "be-all-end-all" of mobile phone will be shipped out and made available in U.S. stores.
Are you willing to shell out $500 for a piece of hardware that is touted to revolutionize mobile communication?
USA Today says, don't rush into stores and wait for a few more months after the iPhone is released. This way, Apple would have gathered initial feedbacks from users and probably introduced a better version of the iPhone later on.
Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg whose been lucky enough to have been testing the iPhone for the past two weeks, describes Apple Inc's ultimate mobile phone as:
The Apple phone combines intelligent voice calling, and a full-blown iPod, with a beautiful new interface for music and video playback. It offers the best Web browser we have seen on a smart phone, and robust email software. And it synchronizes easily and well with both Windows and Macintosh computers using Apple's iTunes software.
If that's enough reasons to make you get an AT & T account and buy the iPhone, wait again. You might want to check out NYT's FAQs on the iPhone.
As for me? Well, too bad, we won't be seeing the iPhone in the next couple of months or probably years in our country. It would have been a big hit among my fellow mobile-phone-savvy countrymen.
For those of you who are buying, enjoy your new "toy" once it lands on your hands.
