So I'm supposed to wait for the Rev. B iPhone, but I'm not supposed to wait for the Rev. B iPhone?

Yeah, but the original iPod came out over five years ago. I
really don't want to wait five years to buy an iPhone.

Apple says the price is $499/$599
with a two year contract. I'm only assuming the "full price" will be higher.

Lots.
I'm an internet addict...
Oh, and I probably should have mentioned it in my original post, but I currently do not have any sort of portable music player whatsoever. Like, not even a CD player. So I'm kinda looking to get one of those, and I'd rather not wait until next year.
I'm leaning towards getting the iPhone this June. Using a Mac has taught me to value interface over raw specs. All the 3G data in the world won't help me if the browser is a pain in the ass to use.
