We've brought you a fairly large amount of information about the Prada Phone, infact you can read articles on it here watch a video of it here and theres more information about it in our forums. Though as much as we like the Prada phone, I'm much more enamoured with the iPhone, prefering the idea of controlling it with gestures and it's more vibrant interface.



The good news for our American readers is that it will be out on June 29th so if you're lucky you might be able to get your hands on one soon. Though we in Australia will have to wait for at least another few months.

Yeah, I also think the iPhone is nicer. ;)

Does someone know if it's possible to get an iPhone without a subscription?
I will be in the States on July 2th and I have to get one. :-)

I've heard that it'll be cracked quite easily, thus you'd be able to grab it outright.

The Onion has the inside scoop

omg i want one. im currently in canada so i'm sure i could get one but i dunno if id be able to use it in aus?

I think you'd be able to, but some of the features such as push e-mail wouldn't be available. That said, it would still make the coolest iPod and phone available

Rationing planned for launch of the iPhone

Stores across America are preparing for chaos ahead of next week's iPhone launch, drawing up crowd control strategies and setting limits on the number of handsets one person can buy.

As expectations surrounding the launch reach fever pitch, retailers say they are braced for record numbers wanting what one analyst describes as "the most eagerly awaited consumer technology device of the last 20 years".

Apple's foray into the competitive mobile phone market takes its first real test next Friday when consumers get their hands on the iPhone.

Whether it proves to be a worthy successor to the company's iPod, remains to be seen.

What is not in doubt, however, is the initial interest. The device - a mobile phone, web browser and digital music and video player - will be available at around 2,000 shops nationwide.

An estimated one million handsets are expected to be available in the first wave, with many stores selling out almost immediately.

''We are assuming it will generate what I describe, with some understatement, as significant demand and interest," an AT&T spokesman said on yesterday. In preparation, the company has hired 2,000 extra staff and given its employees more than 100,000 hours of training on the device.

AT&T refused to say how many handsets each store would be sent or what the limit per customer would be to stop "hoarding and re-selling". In areas likely to witness the biggest demand, the company is liaising with local police forces over crowd control.

No advance orders are being accepted and many fans are planning to camp outside shops during the days before the launch. The iPhone is expensive compared with other handsets, costing up to $599 dollars (£300).

I would hope for one per customer really.

i heard it has already been cracked before it was released by a disgruntled worked at apple :S :S could be just rumour though

You can work for Apple and get disgruntled?
