besides no 3g, I really think it might be a "tad" on the large size. Its actually about the size of a psp. Might look alittle foolish holding that up to your ear.

What are you talking about. It's smaller AND thinner that the Moto Q!

Actually, it kind of very large.

You, TreoCentral user, do not know the facts.Oh, boy, a touch screen keyboard. yawn.
Unless Apple really has a truly remarkable new technology, this ain't gonna do it for anyone who does a lot of typing (email use or texting). I've tried many, many touchscreens over the years, and they're all lousy for typing, with no tactile feedback it's really hard to catch typos. Any mention of 3rd party software support? Knowing Apple, I bet it's a closed system. And I don't think I could ever give up EVDO and downgrade to Edge, for the way I use my Treo.
This is a multimedia phone, not a smart phone. There's a singificant difference. Corporate buyers aren't going to buy into a productivity sapping ipod/phone combo. If you want a PDA phone, it doesn't look like it comes close to the Treo in functionality and expandability. Personally, I'd rather carry my Treo for organizing my life, and my Nano for music.
If what you want is a multimedia phone, this sounds like it MIGHT be great, if your wallet is fat. It remains to be seen how many consumers are going to buy into the price point, though. Will being "cool" entice people to pony up $500 AND a long term contract? Or will most people be satisfied with a RAZR and a Nano? I suspect the latter, but I've been wrong before. But, so has Apple.
Let's not drink the KoolAid just yet. Just because Jobs says it's great doesn't make it so. And being great doesn't automatically translate into sales. The Macintosh computer being only one example.
And the cost? $600 for a 2 year contract. Factor in the cost of a nano and a smartphone with BT2.0 AND WiFi ($400 with a two year contract for the 8525) and you're still coming out ahead with only ONE device.
I still like it.
Found the actual dimensions.
