I actually agree with Simon. This phone although great in a lot of ways is missing some fundamental features.

One 3G.. I mean WTF? Edge? Great... so in NZ where that network is disabled I have to use 2G?

Mail... IMAP? Have you seriously tried to use IMAP on a cellphone? It works great on 3G.. but 2G? Also, I bet there will be no functionality available for Exchange, one thing which is going to be a killer for a lot of people. The crowd you'll attract with this thing is the Crackberries. If you don't have a mail app to compete then what's the point?

I have all the things that this iPhone has right now, and I have 3G to boot. I have a phone with 2G of memory, 2mp camera, I can play music, AAC, have photos, do slideshows etc. Sure it doesn't have the fancy touchscreen, but my N71 is a good all round phone.

Of course all this will probably change in the next year.. they'll add HSDPA and probably have support for Blackberry Express. But for the moment.. nup.
