Apparently it is, I read a report elsewhere. Google might find it for
you.

Apparently it's available to testers as there are reports on it
already.

That's like saying that unreleased beta software, that is buggy will
eventually be released like that. I'll say that the iphone tested last
month is better than the iphone tested the month before that, and until
it is released on June 29th, there is no accurate report of how it will
be on the 29th.
Just a few days ago, Apple replaced the plastic with optical quality
glass, and increased the battery life from 5 to 8 hours.
Those are just some improvements we've been told about. We don't know
what kind of tweaks they've made to make the phone better, but you've
already made up your mind to go by the older reviews.

No, I made up my mind as soon as I saw the announcement. It's not a
phone I'd have any use for, any phone that does anything other than
make or receive calls is a phone I don't need/want.

Please read posts before replying next time, OK?

Now you're just being a jerk. You know what you said. I responded to
you saying that you read reviews that the iphone as a phone was not so
good. I responded by saying the phone is not out yet. You responded
that you read reviews from people who already tested the phone. I
responded by saying they are reviewing a beta and not a finished
product, but you made up your mind already that the phone sucks.

You took my above statement "but you've already made up your mind to go
by the older reviews" out of context. That was in response to you
saying the phone had terrible performance based on the older reviews you
read.

You don't want the phone, don't get it. It's OK for you not to want it.
It clearly is not for everybody, but I'm attacking your statements that
the phones performance sucks.

How about you read my posts, and yours, before replying next time, OK?
