His first point is BS, the last time Apple released the phone they had to do it in one country, now they're doing it in 22, with less time post-announcement to make handsets.

I'd have to say 32GB would be a bit overkill for me. I have 31106 songs in my itunes playlist at home. Not even the 160GB iPod can handle all of it. 16GB will be plenty for me for a long while. I only need to take my absolute favs with me when I'm catching public transport.
As for HTC.....Yuck!
Shortages, maybe, maybe not, we'll all know on Friday.

Good reasons, but I'm not sure about the Diamond. That's just a half-baked knockoff.

See, I don't have as many songs as you. But, I will find my self going through itunes and picking out the most listen to song/albums. But there will be albums on there 24/7, and albums and or songs that wont be.

I have about 400GB of music, so the bigger the iPhone the better

anything running windows mobile is instantly going to be a pile of shite...seriously, how can you sell a product running windows to someone wanting an iphone... sure i'll through my MBA in the trash because that acer running windows is thinner and half the weight. its got windows, there is no comparison.

i've heard rumours of a slide out full QWERTY keypad for the iphone, but not likely... that would be my dream phone.

i like my current dopod 838 its a great phone, but the OS, WM6, sends me postal every second day.

LOL funny bugger. I would love a 1TB iPhone, that would at least get me through to the end of the year.

You may not be able to polish a turd but you can put glitter on it.

While it raises a couple of valid points it takes the tone of 'it's not perfect so don't buy it' (which also has the implication that competing products aren't perfect either so if none of them are perfect then they are all equal). That's the type of sloppy journalism which, sadly, gets attention.

Ew. Silde out? What on earth for? The iPhone already ships with one of the most intuitive keyboards ever designed.
