Until they open it up to other carriers, I’m going to remain iPhoneless, though I still have my hacked iPod Touch for wireless access anywhere. A product becomes a necessity when a Common Man is able to buy it.

I am crazy about iPhones. It has excellent features and design. Very sophisticated look. Looking forward to buy iPhone 3G.

Hi Gerry…so you are okay being married to Google then? Bottom line is you have to “commit” to something on some basic level when choosing a tool from a vendor…otherwise we’d still be hunting antelope with home made spears and heating our caves by rubbing sticks together to start fires. Though not perfect w/o a doubt it’s the easiest, yet most advanced handheld that I’ve ever owned. I finally see what all the madness has been about. Someday, there’ll be better, and if it’s time to get a new phone, then yes I’ll be there – Google, iPhone, whatever…bring on the better tools that help us get our work done.

iPhone service contract is too expensive.

Thanks for the post Matt. I wish I had so many Apple stores around me. There isn’t an iPhone in the midwest for me. I dropped the iPhone I have and the screen is all smashed. I think I showed you at SMX Seattle.

Sigh… the search continues.

Hey Matt;

Sadly I just got a Blackberry a few months ago and can’t upgrade for another 2 years now Hopefully they will have an iphone Z10 or some such out by that time! I was wondering in the opinions of yourself and the other commentees, what differences they perceive between iphones and Blackberries. Save the obvious, touchscreen and iTunes compatibility of course. Though I would love both of those features, aside I am quite pleased with my new Perl. So I invite all of you iPhone diehards to go ahead and burst my bubble now!

Got mine from the O2 store here in the UK, I had a 1st gen model, the new 3G version is a world apart, very impressive, other than the monthly contract charge of £45!

Matt:

I was going to wait a few weeks to jump in the IPhone pond but as we were finishing shopping for various and sundry things at Stanford Mall in Palo Alto, I noticed the line to get an IPhone was nearly non-existent at the Apple Store.

Not being one to let an opportunity go by, I hopped in line and 20 minutes later had a fully activated and functional phone in my hand. 10 minutes later, I received a text message saying that my number had been ported from my other carrier.

Not a bad bit of luck at 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon.

Any iPhone users have case recommendations? I use to carry my phone in my pocket, but I’m afraid of scratching/breaking the phone by doing that.
