I finally got myself an iPhone. It was inevitable. Latest info is that the 3G version is at least 6 months away, and whoever wins the UK rights will be deploying EDGE anyway, so this looks like a safe bet. (However I will be very careful when I travel overseas – see this thread over at Apple…)
(Anyone want to buy a Cingular AT&T 8525? I’ll throw in a 1GB micro-SD card.)
