Here's a site that shows the size of the iPhone compared to others.

Most phones are released in very small amounts to select important people in the industry.  Also usually a hits the general market for about 1 to 3 mos before it will be offered with a carrier.  So in June Cingular will start selling them with new contracts.  About April you should be able to buy it from phone store with no service.

I see. I'm not a big fan of the contracts so I might have to wait till the phone carriers have it.

It is a GSM phone so it will have to go to either Cingular, T-mobile or another GSM provider.  Or not even be offered here in the states, like a lot of the good phones

Japan is probably laughing at us.  They had touchscreen phones like the iPhone in 1999 when I visited.  AND, they were smaller than the iPhone.

That is. Why not bring that technology here? Seems like we would be quick to jump on the bandwagon and follow suit-

Between FCC regulations approving the technology and the service providers not investing the money in the network upgrading.

Just a couple more days until the iPhone is released.  Who's jumping on the bandwagon and going to spend the night out in front of the store to get one?
