No way for me. This makes great strides in convergence, but I want a full smartphone. And that price point is nuts. I'll believe the soft keyboard when I see it but just don't have much hope for something with no tactile feedback and teeny areas for big thumbs. I'll also believe the battery specs when I see them. As suck as iPods and smartphones are with battery life, try combining them. Blah blah blah nothing you haven't heard.
But for the size/bulk crowd out there, remember that you can compare the iPhone to your favorite gizmo or small object over at Sizeasy - http://sizeasy.com . The iPhone is one of their stock comparables. Google your favorite gizmo's specs, enter the there, and compare. It's really pretty slim. A bit taller than I'd like, but plenty slim. I think it will pocket nicely, at least sans case.
Wonder how the weight will feel in, say, a front shirt pocket? Hope it ain't 3G ipod heavy. That thing is a ground magnet.
