Another two days to go for what just might be a big leap in mobile technology or what could be a great flop for Apple and its fans!
Apple has been known to take risks like changing processors from IBM to Intel. And most times Apple has had the sweet taste of success but the iPhone will be the true test as its price is way ahead of the others even though phones with better camera’s and 3g technology like the Nokia N91 and Sony Ericsson Walkman Phones are available for a much lesser price 
Another mistake i see happening is Apple selling the phone exclusively in North America and not in Asia the real mobile behemoth. Had Apple sold its phone in places like India and China i am sure they would have had a much higher rate of income as most Indians prefer Cell phones with high end features for office applications over carrying a Laptop with them wherever they go.
So is Apple going to hit the Jackpot we will have to wait and see till the 29th!
BUT WAIT I HAVE FOUND THE BEST ALTERNATIVE!
I found NEO1973 a radically new cellphone with some Amazing features

Now you might be wondering about the specs
Mini SD card, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 Enabled!
A GPS for location so unlike Google Maps where u will need WiFi or EDGE to access the service here it will automatically connect to the GPS Satellite!
A quad band phone that will be sold unlocked so unlike iPhone you wont have to be locked to one carrier! you could use it anywhere in India or Africa or even Shanghai!
An application manager similar to adept on kubuntu to remove add or update applications!
Push Email similar to the Blackberry and calendar Synchronization
The phone will be internationally available by Sept 2007 hopefully! So if you are going to wait for the iPhone till next year this phone is a great alternative.
This is truly a Linux phone unlike other phones which claim to run on the linux kernel but were not living up to the free image of Linux!
AND THE BEST NEWS IS ITS only 350$ unlike the iPhone which is almost twice its price!
