    Who doesn't lock their phone?

    plus it has a proximity sensor

    it ain't like shit is just gunna make it freak out all the time

    it also has a gravity switch so the screen rotates, as you probably know

    and a light sensor so it automatically adjusts the brightness based on ambient settings, so as to maximize battery life

    See this is what bugs me about the iPhone, it's like a really hot woman with herpes. At first glance you go wow, I'd like to fuck that. Then you go up and talk to her and realise she's full of things you don't want growing on your body. So you just back off and go, "so.... do you have a hotter less disease filled younger sister?"

    and then it turns out she does have a hot less disease ridden younger sister but she won't be legal for another year and a half and this chick is ready to go right now

    There are just so many things I'd rather spend $500 on than a phone.

    Hell, I'd buy a PS3 before I'd buy another phone.

    they made a last-minute change to the overall design by replacing the screen's plastic with tempered glass to prevent scratching

    which is pretty rad

    also, I can pretty much guarantee you'll never see open program support for this thing in the first few years

    there is no way in hell Jobs will let you run free VOIP programs on a wifi phone like that

    yeah, I ain't saying it is a good idea to get one

    quite the opposite, in fact

    I'll wait for the second or third iteration to come out before I even consider it

    but god damn they've got a real damned sexy fucking piece of nerdbling right there

    very, very intriguing device

    See the thing is though, my friend's phone that does have wifi support can support VOIP I can't remember what one it is, it's one of the new Nokia's with the GPS and all that jazz. But it isn't like VOIP isn't unknown technology in a mobile.

    Hmm, and tempered glass is apparently more prone to scratching than standard annealed glass.

    maybe it's annealed

    fuck if I know

    all I know is they went with a glass face to prevent the scratching debacle they had with the video iPod

    Well, I mean, I guess it's a step up from plastic.

    I just honestly had no clue what tempered glass was so decided to do some internet sleuthing.

    When I dropped my Blackberry on the floor and it stopped working I decided I was never going to buy a handheld device that cost more than $200 again.

    I mean, shit happens.

    On a side note, the iPod shuffle is the best thing ever.

    They opted for a more dated network, which seems odd considering all the tech crammed in it.
