It actually gets pretty hot as well guess it's just the nature smart phone's.

The main factor was it was ,at the time, the best rated to be used as a cell modem for my laptop, and I've absolutely got my moneys worth in that respect.

@Jake Yup sure 1st time I break down and by Apple it had to be the Newton.

I like the different HTC products especially the HTC Tilt and HTC Touch http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/ATT-Tilt... I have the HTC 8525 both are definitely bricks though.

I know 3 people personally that have had battery problems within weeks, which is why replaceable batteries would be nice, On long trips it would nice to have a charged up extra etc.

Not saying that I won't ever buy and iPhone, the web browser and form factor are absolutely #1 right now, it just seems like it locks you to much into the 'Apple' world, software/usage wise.

And how long till a phone that is looks almost exactly the same and is running Windows or Symbian comes out without all the lock in.

@Jake Ah I have a much older hate for Apple than just the Newton, that's just the last Apple product I broke down and bought, it just ended up being much less than the hype made it out to be.

I have an HTC Hermes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_TyTN which I like but is a definitely a brick , good for street fights, but ever since I put a HTC Touch interface http://www.htctouch.com/ on it pretty much rocks.

Don't get me wrong the iPhone looks awesome and I mess with one everytime I get my hands on one, but other than the full webbrowser , very nice, there isn't a whole lot it does that a regular smart phone doesn't, except not look like a brick.

If I'm going to get locked into the Apple Store and the AT&T plan I want to wait for the hardware to be 2.0

Or maybe I'll just wait for a gPhone.

3g , Replaceable Battery , GPS , standard headset .

As soon as those are taken care of I'll probably buy my first Apple product since the Newton .......... maybe.
