iPhone is available with Cingular ONLY!? And what if I am stuck under contract with a carrier OTHER than Cingular but still want a iPhone? Well, the only solution I could fine was http://www.Cellswapper.com - they get you out of any cell phone contract!

It’s been announced that the iPhone will arrive in Europe at the end of 2007. It’ll be interesting to see who the carrier will be here since Cingular doesn’t exist outside of the US (as far as I know). Does anyone know if there is a SIM slot on the iPhone?
I would expect (or at least hope) to see that all the issues slated at the launch will be resolved by the time we see it.

I don’t disagree with your analysis but the other big winner might be the mobile phone market and therefore us. If the other manufacturers react positively to Apple’s entry into their space by revising their design strategies & processes the devices offered in the market can only get better. To illustrate my case just take a look at how iriver is responding to the ipod.

I agree, though I don’t think this affects iPod accessories makers that much since the iPhone install base will be much smaller than the existing iPod install base.

I was wondering who’d get the Apple phone. If Cingular service was better where I live (about an hour North of NYC) I’d switch from Verizon just to get the iPhone. Unfortunately even though Verizon never gets the cool stuff, the service has been rock-solid for me.

I wonder how much Apple got from Cingular for the exclusive rights. Depending on the deal, Cingular may need to acquire quite a few of new customers to see a real profit. Fortunately for them, it appears that will happen.
