Do you sign a contract with AT&T as soon as you buy the iPhone, or is there no commitment untill you activate it on your mac/pc? (Because I want to buy one, but my contract isn't up untill mid-july)
How fast (or slow actually) is EDGE?
Does cover flow load up ever album fast, or does it load the artwork as you look at it?
What is the ringer on/off switch like? (compare it to something)

No contract until you connect iPhone to iTunes and activate it. However, the phone is 99.999% useless until you activate it.

I'll be doing some EDGE tests today, so I can't quite say. Over WiFi, it's awesome

Coverfly grabs the album art from your iTunes install - so they are already there (or not, in a lot of cases for me) when you browse.

It's actually a little weird how it works. It's kind of like a light switch. If you are looking at the phone from the side, it actually rotates upwards towards the screen from the backside of the phone.

Tested EDGE today at breakfast in town. I ran a text file from Toast.net, and got 40kb.

Pretty pathetic, but, hey, it's "all you can eat!"

I got between 140kb/sec and 161kb/sec while shopping with full signal. At home I got 49-70kb/sec with 2 bars.

Wow, that's pretty good for EDGE. Are you sure you weren't freeloading a wireless somewhere? At home, I get pretty good speed from the iPhone on my wireless internet network, but in town I got 40Kb, which is dial-up, basically.

I'll try some more places and see what I get with EDGE.

I'm sure. If you try it on broadband it tells you you're on too fast of a connection when you use www.dslreports.com/mspeed
