    Haven't seen mention of it anywhere for over a month, all talk now is of the Google phone, but I think that has gone away again. Rumors of a Nokia N81 (but probably a typo) and just now came accoss a sketch of a Nokia N99 on darlamacks.blog

    🧐IMHO, God wants us all to ENJOY many,many ice-creams , 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

    Won't be released in the states till June 2007 so you won't see reviews etc till then

    What Cabaal said. You should be able to find unboxing photos and in depth reviews in June.

    Personally I wouldn't even be considering it until it adds HSDPA, which I doubt will happen before the first quarter of next year. For now, I'm very happy with my Nokia E61, though I am very excited about seeing the iPhone in action.

    Beyond the fact that it will be running a version of OS X, that is still very unclear. It appears that the version of the iPhone for Cingular will, at least initially, be quite locked down. This is unsurprising, given that Cingular has a habit to lock down phones.

    For example, I have the Nokia E61. Nokia made a special version of this phone for Cingular, called the E62. At the request of Cingular (now AT&T), Nokia removed WiFi and VoIP as well as 3G.

    I wouldn't want to speculate until more is known for sure.

    Just like to add, given that the iPhone runs a version of OS X, and includes bluetooth support (necessary for using a GPS module), in theory it should work. But the fact that it hasn't even been released in the US, never mind in Ireland, makes any speculation pointless.

    Anything that you don't see at http://www.apple.com/iphone/ is pointless to speculate about, IMHO.
