And cingular as exclusive partner....hmmmm, locked phones, poor service, etc....

^ I think you're right. However, that's the same thing "experts" said about the original iPod. I think a $399 price point would have been a little better for the base model, but I'm still buying one.
My company is 100% Apple and this is just another beautiful addition.
