it does accept a sim. the rub though is it has to be activated through ITunes.

The unfortunate thing is that here in Australia you cannot yet by an unlocked iphone outright without going on a plan. Although I do not need government to by it for me, those that do will find that funding plans will not pay for mobile phone contracts. Apple need to understand that I think .

The benefits of this device more then out ways the negatives. However, it is important to know the negatives as then you won’t be surprised when they happen and you can factor that into the risk you are taking. I’ve owned my share of cell phones over the years and I think that the IPhone will probably be the one of my best phones ever. Besides, it is an historical event and I want to be a part of history in the making. Since I already have a GSM phone, it will be easy to switch over to the 3GS because all I have to do is take out the sim card from the one and transfer it to the other. I also have an CDMA phone that I use for data since it operates on a different network from rogers and so use that one for internet surfing as it is unlimited. I will be using the IPhone interchangeably with my nokia E71. Sim cards are easy to move from one phone to another. I’m going to put in an order for the 3GS soon. I know that the next generation IPhone will build on this one but it is important to support Apple in this first generation so that they see that there is a demand for this product. Sorry if people on this list took my critiques as a a reason for not buying the phone. Probably the drawback that you can’t change is that you can’t change the battery. I wonder what the phone will cost in Canadian dollars from my local retaler. I suppose that the size of memory isn’t that important but the concept of inclusion.

Apparently to the very top of the screen there's a "return to call" bar. I couldn't check this out myself, as my iPhone won't be delivered until monday, but my son tells me that's how his iPhone works.

Because then you have access to the phone's full functionality, e.g. adding an appointment to the calendar, then coming back to the phone app etc.
