Verizon probably didn't take it because they have higher durability standards, which is smart. It means less warrantee work.
Sorry man but it's laughable to think Verizon's standards for their phones are any better than anyone else's. They're not. They just didn't want to give up any control in distribution or share a percentage of service revenue. I don't blame them at all for that, but durability standards had nothing to do with it. If it did, they wouldn't be coming out with their own smartphones from fashion houses like Prada. Do you really think Prada makes a more durable phone than Apple?
I agree though, these aren't your typical cell phones and will be as fragile as your average Treo or Blackberry. Insurance on these will be important.
OK...I will say this again as clearly as I know how:
Mac Mail is the default mail program on OSX, and is the program they demo on the iPhone. It supports Exchange, and I use it everyday for this purpose.
Do you think the iPhone version of OSX is going to be the same as the regular OSX? The reports thus far is that Exchange isn't going to be supported. It would then stand to reason that its a stripped down version of Mail.
As with a lot of things with this phone, no one will really know until its released. For the success of the device I hope it supports Exchange.
We've got 13 weeks ahead of us that we'll experience all the joys and all the sorrows and all the frustration and excitement that a football season brings. How we handle the tough times is going to be important.

First, I'm not a Mac person and don't know what "Mac Mail" is. Second, you said that it is the default program on OSX. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not full scale OSX running on the iPhone.
Third, I asked if the Exchange option is supported on the iPhone platform. This would contradict most reports that out there and you still haven't answered that question even when typing in big letters.
Last, you say that Mac Mail has an Exchange option - does this support mail, calendaring, contacts, and task syncing?
I'm flattered that you'd spend all this time looking up my old posts, but what does this have to do with the current thread?
What it has to do with the current thread is that you claim to be an Apple Ghandi and then flame people in apple threads, making you a huge hypocrite. How is that at all unclear?

You were the one trying to set standards for pacifism with your lame thread, not me.

Not my thread, but thanks.
Still think you should take a walk outside--you seem angry, turbie.
The phone looks amazing, especially the internet browser. Unfortunately ATT's data plans are ridiculously expensive, unless they classify the Iphone as a smartphone and not a PDA phone.

That is an interesting question. I would have guessed that it would be classified like a smartphone (ala the 2125 and 3125), but because the Apple loyalists will buy it anyway, I can see them charging the PDA price ($40).
That as my thought initially. However, I guess they could either bury inside the phone so it is not (easily) accessible for people or build it right into the phone.
or they could just use a carrier lock so that it only accepts AT&T SIMs, like what every other GSM provider does with subsidized phones.
Here's some competition to the iPhone. I'm not overwhelmed by it. The rotating screen was kinda cool but looked a little sluggish. And it seems silly you need a stylus.
So even on their lowest plan -- 450 anytime mins; 5,000 night/weekend mins -- you're looking at roughly $90 a month. That doesn't seem too bad or unreasonable.

That's just the latest unfounded rumor on the data price. AT&T has some cheaper data plans as well. Though, compared to Treo, Blackberry and smartphone plans with data, that seems competitive.
Guy at work is going to upgrade his Treo instead of getting the iPhone. The news that there will be no third party apps pretty much rules out the iPhone in his mind.

I love how people are ruling out buying the iPhone 2 weeks before it even comes out. When is the last time you heard people discussing a freaking cell phone at any point before it's release?

Apple does have great marketing

Actually there will be 3rd party apps, just not at launch. It looks like they'll have them later this year.
ATTs unlimted data plan is 39.99. However, they do offer an unlimited MediaNet plan for other phones/smartphones for 19.99. The 2125/3125 WM phones classify as a "smartphone", and thus get the 19.99 plan - which is basically unlimted data (the only thing that you are not "supposed" to do is tether your phone - but it does work).
The Pocket PC phones (the 8125/8525, Treos, BlackJacks, etc) need to have the 39.99 plan.

$90 including taxes, fees, etc. etc.?
Because their lowest calling plan is 39.99 for 450/5000 minutes (remember you get roll-over too) + either $19.99/$39.99 for the unlimited data, puts it at $60 or $80 per month.

I could see the iPhone going either way.
They've already said that MediaNet won't work for the iPhones. A $20 data plan would be nice though.
Important: You Must Follow All These Steps in the Precise Order to Obtain Your iPhone. Failure to Do So Will mean Being Denied Entry To the Kingdom of Jobs
Take a number from the iphone number dispenser at the front of the store.
Proceed to the Coolness Evaluation Station. There you will be evaluated on your dress, apperance, and general coolness to determine whether you are worthy of having an iPhone. Among the criteria: A.) If you have a goatee, you may not have an iPhone. Those are so last year. B.) If you are a white man with Chinese or Japanese symbols tattooed on any part of your body, AND you can't read the language it's written in, you may not have an iPhone. Posuers are so lame. C.) If you are wearing a NASCAR shirt, a mullet, or carrying a can of Skoal, no iPhone for you, Cletus. D.) If you've ever owned, or even touched, a Zune, you may not have an iPhone. What's wrong with you? Finally, E. Any woman carrying a small dog with her as a fashion accesory may not have an iPhone. Get a life, Princess.
If you have passed the Coolness Test, you may proceed to the Icon of Jobs in the center of the store. Kiss it thrice and ask for Jobs to bless your purchase.
After kissing the Jobs icon, proceed to iPod/iPhone Acclimation station, where your iPod and your iPhone will be introduced to each other to see if their peronalities are compatible. If you have forgotten to bring your iPod, you may, at the acolytes' discression, buy a new one.
Finally, proceed to the Wallet Weighing Checkout station. Your wallet will be weighed, and must weigh more than a feather, but less than a duck. If it passes these tests, your wallet will be taken and you will be allowed to have your iPhone. No, you may not have your wallet back. Your bank will be able to issue you new credit cards.
IPhone, are any of you geeks planning on camping out to get one?
The buzz for this silly product is crazy. A bit too pricey if you ask me.
