Will it be supported on Panther 10.3.9 too? Just a thought. Also, will there be FireWire support too?

SIM tray means you are able to exchange SIM cards. Now I wonder how long until someone crack it to work with different providers. Week?? Two weeks???:rolleyes:

Who claimed that it would lack a SIM card tray ? A SIM card is required for a GSM phone.

Now, don't go complaining about the battery life. Someone will come out with a battery Mod. Also you can just about bet the farm that someone will come out with an external doodad that will charge the battery with a little clip on thing.
