One question - WHY?!

I quite like it

[machin05]

I quite like it actually.

It's aesthetically very pleasing and I bet it's more comfortable for long conversations. I don't have an iPhone so I can't pass judgement, but on every other mobile I've used, the earpiece gets very hot on a long call. Also, it saves your battery life for when you're away from the desk. Let's not forget how holding a mobile against your head melts your brain...

Do you think they will do a wireless handset version?

What about a smaller version you could put in your pocket? That would be cool

You can probably get an app that gives you an old fashioned "finger in the dial" dialing mechanism too:rolleyes:

The website gives the price as $195 [which seems like a lot when you have already shelled out for the iPhone]
