But, I'm not sure I see this changing the telcos, OR putting much of a dent in the Blackberry market, at least not for several years. A huge piece of the Blackberry market is made up of corporations who buy them primarily for the enterprise email and phone capabilities. I'm not sure I see my Fortune 500 CFO signing off on 1000 phones with camera and photo-sharing capabilities. We may all start to lose our tolerance for crappy, ordinary phones, but I see this ship taking an awful long time to turn. But hey, I'm just an old-time corporate guy, so what do I know?

I do like Apple stuff, but this iPhone won´t change telcos. Business plans are still based on two years agreements, poor bandwidth and worst customer service. So, at least in my country, the song remains the same. PS, I like your blog. Maybe a Skype-enabled phone like the Acton launched about six months ago is more revolutionary.

B-bye limitations. Hello raised expectations. [...] [...] Like much of geekdom, I too stood by and read the breathless excitement that poured from yesterday’s MacWorld keynote.

My guess is all providers stink once you have signed for 2 years. You become a liability not a customer since they then have to provide you with service. It would be great if you could choose your carrier. I wonder how many will start hauling 2 phones around.

Blackberry have been strong on hardware and form factor, but weak on software. Text based email in this day and age is prehistoric. I happen to type a lot on my BB, so I am curious to what extent the advanced software apps will make up for the (zero?) keyboard feel. I am not ready to jump ship just yet. But I predict people who would have otherwise purchased Pearl, Motorola etc will leap to this thing. As a loyal BB user for 7 years, even I have to admit this is an industry changing phone.
