The phone is expensive, no doubt about that. But, it takes the place of an ipod, so that's $250 of the price. Is the phone closed to one system? Yes, but it seems many phones that rogers sells are GSM only, even though Bell might have the same phone for their network. That said, I don't know much about phone technology.
Will the iphone be successful? It depends what it means to be successful. It will be sold out for months and they'll make huge money on it. Will it be as popular as a Razor? No. But it will be pretty big, I think.
