People are already lining up to get the first iPhones.  There has been so much hype since Steve Job’s announcement at MacWorld early this year.  So here’s a more detailed review done on iPhone by a Wall Street Journal reporter Walt Mossberg.  Seems like the gadget is living to most of its lofty expectations.

iPhone killer?

June 14th, 2007 by Administrator

HTC announced that they will launch a smartphone based on Windows Mobile 6 which could be a iPhone killer.  It is named HTC Touch.

Well since iPhone is not available in other countries for a long while, it may offer opportunities for other manufacturers to fill in the void as demand for smartphones in other countries will be increasing.

I for one may be going get a Touch before iPhone arrives here in Hong Kong.  The only drawback?  It is not a 3G phone.

Detail specs here for those interested.

iPhone available 29 June 2007

After the long wait, it has been officially announced that iPhone will be available on 29 June 2007 in the US (with AT&T only).  New TV Ads are also out but I find them a bit disappointing … really basic and straight forward … not like the humorous Apple Ads we used to see.  May be there is no ‘wow’ factor as Steve Jobs has already demonstrated all the cool features of the phone back in MacWorld. For those who are interested, here are the links:

APPL has been on a very strong upward trend in anticipation of the release of the iPhone:

It broke the $100 mark on 2 May and never looked back, closing at 120.50 on 5 June.

One of six Samsung handsets unveiled at the 3GSM World Congress, the F700 features a QWERTY keypad, touch screen interface, 5-megapixel camera and large screen.

This may be the phone that I have been looking for (at least before iPhone is available). I’ve been thinking about the O2 Zinc and Dopod 838 Pro but they still seem a bit bulky. This one is really stylish and with a 5 Megapixel camera and a keypad, I could easily blog as I go. Wonder how much will be the price tag?

Looks like this gadget got all the right specs that any mobile warrior would like. But at a price of Euro 800? It’s going to be a challenge on how many units it will sell.
