Apple stock up 8%. OMFG I can't wait till 2008 when we get the Asia version. This phone is literally 5 years ahead of anything else on the market. Its a touchscreen iPod with phone features. Hopefully by then it will have 30 or 60 GB options.
I can't imagine SKY, Samsung, or LG making anything this beautiful as an phone or PMP device, much less an all in one with internet browsing. DAMN!

| I doubt Korean cell phone manufactures will go bankrupt but it will put a dent in their sales. Korean companies will just do what they do best, try to make the best copy of it they can. |

Thing is...how will it be released here? In the states, they're just teaming up with Cingular (which is awful in my opinion). Will it simply be released unlocked here?
By the way, damn you for posting this first! I was just about to. |

The price probably won't matter to Koreans. Apple products are status symbols. Koreans get sucked in by all of this and it will be a "gotta have it" item here in Korea. The government will make a mint in import duties. |

Exactly. This will be so much bigger than the RAZR or iPod. |

Lol...guys, if you haven't noticed, Apple products don't actually cost that much more here...they're actually pretty much the same price you'd pay back home if you paid tax. Chill out. |
