I need to get this phone!!!
Anyone wondering if the chinese were the beta/field testers and maybe the unit is already pretty close to ready for AT&T? Wouldn't that be sweet if we don't have to wait another 3 months for it?
Seems pretty fast to me. I wish they would have showed what the email app looked like and if emails were HTML.
They didn't try the browser either.
My upgrade is ready for this baby... I've been eligible since last month, but I want this slider.
Exclusive deals mean nothing outside home borders.

I could be wrong but wasn't the very first iPhone exclusive to AT&T world wide? I remember ppl paying crazy prices here in Canada for the first few months cuz they were buying it from the states.....

Apple tends to release hardware in the states before other places e.g. the first batch of other countries only just got the ipad a week ago.
The first iphone was released with exclusive deals in most countries, in the uk o2 were the ones to have the exclusive that has since expired unlike the one with at&t.
That's right. Att has excl in the US. Rogers will have excl in Canada etc etc
At&t will have got the exclusive in the US by putting in a big enough order, in canada you may see the device on all the main carriers about the same time.

not at all true. The iPhone was released in Europe before Canada even got it. Apple and Rogers were negotiating a proper price/data plan, and because Rogers is greedy.... this is why it took so long for us to get it.

More likely Rogers were simply trying to avoiding being bent over in quite the same manner that some carriers were willing to do in order to get the iphone, I remember reports that some of the uk carriers (vodafone and orange iirc) backed out of trying to get the initial exclusivity because the terms apple were after were unacceptable.
Anyways, to get back on topic, I want to mention that the only thing I dislike about OS6 so far is the use of whites and other lighter colours throughout the menus and other elements of the UI. Just look at the calculator, for example. I hope there will be an option to change it all back to the darker styling of OS5. This new style reminds me too much of the IPhone or Droid and is a little too bright for me.

This is exactly why Verizon backed out of the Apple deal,AT&T chose to bend over instead.
