Just kidding.
Just kidding.
I was gonna say...Just kidding.
I got a laugh out of the fact that on the the iPhone commercials, I was apparently calling it!
Anyone who buys one right now has to be nuts. You never trust the first release of anything!
I'll get one if it's free, no contract and unlocked.You wanna get one? Go to http://store.apple.com at 6PM Eastern. So hard. *sigh*

It runs on Edge.
There will be a LOT of VERY unhappy customers.
This will not live up to the hype.
You wanna get one? Go to http://store.apple.com at 6PM Eastern. You'll have it by Tuesday. So hard. *sigh*
It IS, BTW, gonna take over the smart phone market. The others guys had, what, 6 years to remove the suckage in their products, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO......
And how many hours can I fly for $600????
Cell phone in this hand, about 8 hours hobbs in this hand...hhmmm
Alex, I'll take hobbs for $600 please.

I just went by the local ATT store to see how things were going.. Not a single person in line. The workers haven't even seen one yet so they can't go over the features or entice anyone to buy one until 6. They shut down the store at about 4PM to get software updates from ATT and to set everything up for tonight. Opening back up at 6PM. Greenwood City Police are at the store to make sure there aren't any mac fanatics trying to steal one.

I just drove past the stores in MSN, as I'm thinking about getting one...
East side: At least 30 people in line as of 3:00 PM.
West side: A handful (or maybe 6) as of 3:25 PM.
I was gonna wait for gen 2, but my current 1.5 year old Sony Ericsson is already having issues with the connector used for charging/headset/everything. It doesn't like 2 of my 3 chargers now, and the headset is sometimes finicky too. Too bad, it's a nice phone otherwise, and it's held up quite well to a lot of abuse - I don't know how many times I've dropped it onto hard, sometimes very rough surfaces and the screen still doesn't have a single scratch. It already does a lot of things the iPhone will (camera, mp3's), and some things it won't (Pilot My-Cast, FM radio) but it doesn't make things very easy.
So, hopefully later tonight or tomorrow...

It's a good thing I didn't have to go in there this afternoon for any REAL customer issues.I just went by the local ATT store to see how things were going.. Not a single person in line.

So the iPhone doesn't change Apple's business model? You'd think they'd grow tired of super-hyping inferior products. Sigh.
Actually no it won't. By Apples own admission they are merely looking for a 1 1/2% share of the cellular phone market. Even THEY realize that it will not penetrate too far as they are targeting a limited segment and the price point will preclude a lot of entry.
Stop. You can't tether your laptop with an iPhone. You're better off getting a replacement Sony(ugg!)-Ericson on eBay.
Says who??? Of all the people ripping on it, I hadn't heard that one.
I'll probably keep the Sony charged up for when I want Pilot My-Cast, maybe I'll have to keep it for tethering too. Of course, I bet by the end of the weekend somebody's got it tethered.
Sucker!Well sitting on my passenger seat is an 8GB iPhone. Kent, want it?

so let me get this straight.... this thread started with William joking about getting an iPhone.... and now he actually has one....
weird....
Just for the record, my Treo does everything I need it to, including play MP3s, has a full function keyboard, and I can tether it to my laptop.
The things I'd say ATT has going for it is that the iPhone has the allure of being the "ultimate" cell phone, unlimited data means unlimited data at Cingular (though on EDGE, I guess it doesn't really matter), and it's slightly cheaper to have the iPhone each month (at least in my case, 100$ vs 80$).
As much as I hate Verizon, I just don't know if I could justify the initial cost.
Seriously, people who go out and buy the iPhone are paying for a spiffy UI.
