I watched the news...I also watched the part about it that says its $599.99!!!

IT'S A PHONE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I'm sorry, but for example, the Krzr, goes online, stores music, and obviously makes calls. Has a large enough screen, and ya know what? It's not 600 dollars lol.

If you think about it...For the price of that phone you can buy something nice that's car audio related, that will last longer, be WAY more impressive, and overall be a better investment...

Just buy a RAZR like the rest of us lol.

Yea, I'm harping I know, just when I put $300 for my 30GB iPod Video and then that crazy Zune came out and it holds like double everything with the same 30GB (still trying to figure out how that works...), I got irratated, kinda feeling like Apple rips people off...

Tyler I don't know how the Zune can hold double of everyting with the same size hard drive, it is impossible. Microsoft is just giving you inflated numbers, just as apple does.

When they say that a certain one of their Ipods can hold, lets say 15,000 songs they are lying. Theoretically it can hold that many songs but very unlikely.

They are assuming that each song is only 4mb big. Which you can get a song that small but the bitrate is going to be 128 kb/sec or lower, which in my opinion is terrible. I always have 192 or more. Plus the length of the song is a factor as well. A song that is 2 minutes long is not going to be the same size as a song that is 6 mins long.

If you have a 6 minute or longer song (I have quite a few) and the file size is less than 4mb, it is going to sound like crap.

The phone reminds me of how sony markets their amps buy putting "1000 watts!" printed on the amp just as the iPhone claims to hold 15,000 songs. And it's over priced

it's really not overpriced for what phones go for nowadays. it's got total internet access, ipod, navigation, phone, and a 2 megapixel camera. i bought a treo 650 and it was 439 dollars and it had a shitty camera and internet access.

Isaac,

I know all that it's just getting irritating that everything is so overpriced...I'm sorry, it's a phone...When you get right down to it, it's a phone, otherwise it would be on the shelf with the rest of the mp3 players.

Because we all know that the electronic parts used in the production of these "gadgets" cost mere pennies to make. The screen is probably the only thing on any of these devices today that is worth charging for...

Hehe, there I go again...

LMFAO its just like a mini touch screen pc, not sure of the model but my bro has a phone with its own version on windows on it, remote desktop capabilities and such, also he can use the phone on his computer as a DSL modem :-) nice phone.. but that defeats the purpose of it being called a PHONE meaning all it does is makes\takes calls.

yeah, read about that phone in the newspaper yesterday. I've had the treo 650 for a year now and I still love it. Plus I cant find anything that compares to it. They're getting cheaper now. I think they sell about $150 unlocked on e-bay, or $300 in the store.
