That's going to be announced early next year - It'll be the iPhone
extreme. 80gb internal hard drive, hwr, phone capabilities, etc. for
a "low price of $999" with a lifetime lock in with Cingular Wireless.
(I have no beef with Cingular - have been using them since 2001). The
lack of HWR on the iPhone, despite the fact that it running on OS X
is the really big deal breaker for me. If it were useable as a PDA
with HWR, as well as the other stuff and being a phone, I would have
an easier time convincing myself that it's worthwhile to run it by my
wife. As it is, I think a Nokia e62, treo, or blackberry would be a
better solution for me than the iPhone is.

For now, I'll stick with my razr.
