Here are more specs (http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/the-apple-iphone/). It quotes a five hour battery life for talk or video, which could mean a lot of time on the charger. There's no word on standby time yet. I hope that it has a "hold" switch on it, because touch screen buttons on a phone can lead to a lot of accidental dialing. I'm actually glad that we're too broke to afford a $499 phone (with contract from Cingular) at present. What with extra charges for your email and downloads, that phone could end up costing you a really pretty penny.
