yeah, I DO miss flips, but I don't think I could have a phone that doesn't have a full keyboard anymore so that pretty much throws flips out the window for the most part.
I'm not getting excited about Apple's phone until I see it. First, Cingular's data plans are freakin' outrageous compared to T-Mo's, so the only way I'd get it is if I could unlock it. Then in my experience, for my use anyway, touchscreens have generally turned out to be more annoying(and fingerprints an OCD nightmare). I also think a touchscreen keyboard is a horrible idea for me as I'm not a hunt & peck typist.
I might've gotten excited about it having OS X under the hood (initially was), but any hope of that was killed when Apple announced that their phone will be locked down so that you cannot install user applications on it. That alone would prevent me from purchasing it. They're obviously going to try to lock you into buying everything from them/Cingular.
