What about when the phone is off? That's not how it works.

Maybe im crazy, but i think the genious of the visual voicemail is that the phone picks up and records the callers message to its own internam flash memmory. You can then see that you have voicemail and listen to it locally. I dont think this is a service that needs to be supported by the carrier. I think my explanation makes a lot more sence.

What about Canada, eh?

We're finally going to get cell phone number portability on March 12, 2007 and my 3-year contract with Bell Mobility ends in November 2007. Rogers, Fido and Telus are all GSM, so which one is going to step up and get the phone to Canadians?

If one of the provides offers the Apple Phone, I'll switch in a hearbeat (and I'll be willing to sign a 2 or 3-year contract).

"I will be very disappointed if the iPhone is not available overseas"

I bet. Here in the U.S. we have not been getting the cool phones that are available in Europeland and Asialand, so we know how you feel!

apple mentioned nothing about it not being fully functional outside the US!

You don't read well do you? It's won't be realeased before June.

MacWorld claimed June 2007 for the iPhone. We will need a big bucket to catch the drooling that will occur between now and the launch...

iPhone to be released in June

Prices reflected ARE WITH 2-year contract

It will be released in Europe in Q4. Asia Q1 2008.

All this can be found by reading the keynote blogcast.

I will be very disappointed if the iPhone is not available overseas. A 2 year exclusive contract with Cingular could be construed to be the exclusive contract in the US, leaving them open to sell it freely outside of the USA (Apple likes having options), but which other international carriers would they have had time to negotiate with to offer services like visual voicemail?? I expect to either be disappointed or to be waiting another year at least before this is available overseas.

So when do u guys think this will come out? and estimated date? end of the month? end of the year? WHEN?!?!?!?!?! I am one lucky Cingular carrier!!!!
