And

Saturday Cnet lays off writers with no "Pending Iphone" articles to write anymore.

For the love of god please give it up already.

The long national nightmare is actually over

Not to worry Lindy the long national nightmare is over; Paris Hilton
is out of jail, let the interviews begin.

No Please Continue

No Lindy01, it is just starting, hopefully.

The long, drawn out, ordeal in which we all settle for mediocre
cell phones like you know -- the ones you have been defending
in your posts lately, the ones that have terrible user interfaces, it
is almost over -- it is almost over: just three more days and we
can kiss this old school terrible technology and software
goodbye forever.

Saved and transported into a new era by the iPhone.

Welcome Lindy01 to your future.

Yawn, boring.

Nokia already had a phone that does what the iPhone can do for less for quite a while now.

Linspire already covered this:

The Nokia N80ie has more features than the iPhone and it costs half as much and you can use it without a carrier and you can download any media file to it you want. The iPhone will only allow media from iTunes, and not download your MP3 collection from your Audio CD ripping.

I won't be buying one, I don't need an iPhone. I am not the type of shallow and egocentric person the iPhone is marketed towards.

You sound boring to me.

Please, the N80 lacks the operating system, efficiency and
productivity of the iPhone, not to mention the robust browsing
capabilities (N80's browser is limited).

"Shallow and Egocentric people buy the iPhone, huh?" Where'd
you pull that from? Source?

Please, Creative, Wise, Productive, Sucessful people will buy the
iPhone over Phones like the N80, My Blackberry Pearl, and for
great reasons.
