I can’t see the iPhone selling at all in Europe, it’s overhyped and overpriced.
It doesn’t offer anything new in terms of it’s technical abilities, the only thing that separates it from a modern smartphone is the user interface, you can even run voip software on smartphones.
Nice looking idea, but too little, too late!

Wow, this isn’t stupid! It’s cool and fun!
Why would you down something that is meant in fun. I am going to print mine out on HP photo paper. It will look shiny and a little more sturdy. I may try to find some Mat board or card board to build inside.
thanks for this fun conversation peace.

isn’t the user interface exactly what a modern smartphone is all about and where all others have failed? (and that includes the newton…)

What this templates makes quite clear is how huge this thing is. I mean, this is not a phone, it’s a small laptop computer. And the battery won’t be user replaceable. A basic rule of design is that “form follows function”: small size, small weight, and battery life are vital functions for a mobile phone. I expected Apple to introduce an iPod Nano with GSM capabilities and a replaceable battery – somewhat larger and heavier than a Nano, but not by much. The iPhone is a huge disappointment.

“isn’t the user interface exactly what a modern smartphone is all about”
Amen! We’ll have to see if the actual device lives up to the hype, but if it does, it looks like a big win for Apple (people complaining about the price also probably thought no one would buy a $400 iPod. And we can see how *that’s* worked out!)
“…and where all others have failed? (and that includes the newton…)”
Well, here I must beg to differ. By the time SJ returned to Apple, the Newton product line had overcome early marketing goofs, was generating significant revenue, gaining market share and was expected to pay back initial R&D costs within three years (pretty typical for new consumer electronics platforms). Newton Inc. had been rolled out as a distinct subsidiary – but Jobs reacted emotionally to a project he perceived (incorrectly imo) as the brain-child of his predecessor – and killed it. Apple lost a many outstanding employees and a great deal of developer good will with that move.
The iPhone interface is basically what the Newton would have looked like had it been allowed to continue. Gestures, virtual keys, seamless transfer of info between app/tasks – all these were essential elements of the Newton UI.

This eBay Paper cardboard iPhone has been removed from ebay listings!
My friend was the hightest bidder at $165 (Dumb-ass) till APPLE INC got hold of this info/auction and asked the seller to cancel his item!
If it wasnt for your posting of this fake phone I would have never seen it and in turn find out that my friend was the current high bidder on it!
He really believed it was a real deal—wow!
Thanks for posting this information!

Realizing the the battery is not user replaceable to me, seems like planned Obsolescence. By the time the battery fails there will be yet another model with more features and capabilities. I have not had a cellphone yet that has lasted more than two years without something going wrong with it much less the battery. Lets just hope we can solve the diposal problem. Where will all the gadgets we produce end up? Lets develop recyling techniques as quikly as cell phone technology!
