Apple iPhone Gets FCC nod
Well it’s about time that the FCC gave the Apple iPhone it’s approval. Due to Apple’s secretive nature, the FCC documents don’t show anything but the FCC ID BCGA1203. The user manual, photos, etc have all been kept private after putting in a confidentiality request with the FCC. The iPhone is on target for it’s June launch, unlike a retracted rumor that cycled the cyberspace yesterday. Apple’s stock sure did take a hit from that, but maybe these new FCC documents will put some faith back in AAPL investors.

You can bet on it…this phone will be backordered before the release week is over! One thing that seems to escape all the Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry, etc users is that this phone will sync with a Mac flawlessly, and Windows users too for that matter. Most of these tried and true companies have done a miserable job relating to the Mac user. Sync through iTunes and have your Calendar, Address Book, Tasks, Notes, Voicemail, Music, Movies, Podcasts, Widgets, OSX, and on and on. All this discussion about the $500 price tag being too high…what do people think the latest Blackberry 8800 or the 8300 is going for..same price, less phone.

The big secret? Its ability to suck your soul out through your wallet.

sorry but my blackberry does email better than i expect the iphone to do and does very well with everything i use it for. It was $250 for the 8800 and now verizon has been selling theirs for $99 to some customers. I agree that the syncing with my mac would be awesome but i still think that EDGE and the unknowns will keep me from making the purchase.
I am interested to see how it lives up to the “revolutionary browsing”, I hope it lives up to everything but i’ll wait for a 3G one at the very least.

I don’t think the iPhone is going to attract many people who have already been using smartphones for a few years. While I think the iPhone in innovative in design and some of the features rumored to be in it, the closed OS, non removable battery and lack of buttons make it not look as intriguing to me. I have had a phone with very little buttons on it (iMate SuperJam) and it was not a pleasant experience. I’ll stick with windows mobile and symbian series 60 for now.

I’m sure its going to sell well. Will I buy it? most likely not. However if Engadget or BGR want to loan one for review or just give me one, I’ll gladly take one
