How many of you will go out and buy the brand new
 

Iphone??? I think I will end up with one for sure, although I use a pc at the office, I love my mac at home. Just looks like a fun toy. Will you guys get one?

I hope to have one the 1st day it is available. :)

i'm holding out for a new phone until the iphone release, totally...

Would you guys buy stock in Apple before the launch of the Iphone?

Nah, I'd rather not buy old technology. The next phone I'll get atleast as 3G in it. iPhone is a status-symbol really, a goodlooking phone that has a few crucial features missing.

I am waiting for the N95 to come out, iPhone looks cool, but it just does not have all the technology I want.

Here is a closer look for those who haven't seen it.

I'll have to look into it.

I bought A LOT of Apple stock back when it was like 27$...I'm holding till at least 100$.

The iPhone will be cool if they can keep it as simple as the iPod. I have a Treo now and it is way too complex for my bird brain.

Ya, already planning on jumping carriers when the iPhone comes out. I'm not usually a mac os lover, but the phone itself seems to have enough spiffy's in it to keep me interested. I'm pretty excited about a phone that has that much built in storage capacity... I keep losing the sd cards out of my current pda phone. Will be nice not to have to worry about that anymore. That and not sweating about a stylus will be nice as well.

what features would you add?

Does it have all the features of a common smartphone/PDA? Or is it just a combo ipod/cell phone?

That may happen soon. They had an awesome fiscal 1st qtr. 2nd qtr should be down a bit but an overall improvement over previous years. 3rd quarter the iphone comes out and they are hoping for a 2% market share in a year. I think they will exceed that.

Apple has a bright future. i do not think they will ever get ahead of M$ but with kids these days growing up with an ipod the chances of future Mac sales are bright. Brand association goes a long way.

It has more features. And for Blackberry users that have to pay for email packages you can get a free yahoo push acct which should save you $$. The only hinderance I see is cingular's edge speed browsing. Sprint is faster but then on a sprint smart phone you get a crappy browser. iPhone works on a full version of the safari browser.

as an imac user, ipod and macmini owner i will buy that gadget asap

Modern connectivity, ie. 3G. The most important feature that's missing, won't even bother to look at the others as this is something that I can't understand why apple left it out.

I think i'm gonna get one when it comes out

I'm not a real phone-junky, my current cellphone is like 6 years old
my current one is already tiny, light and stylish I never had the urge to buy a newer one.
But the battery ain't what it used to be anymore ... so I'm about to pick the phone i'll be using for the next 5-6 years :)

I dunno, but that demo doesn't get me that exited about the phone, plus you had better plan on the first one being buggy as hell...I bet the iPhone II will be a knockout though.

better watch mr. jobs himself introducing it :thumbsup

Nice buy, Congrats.

It looks like an interesting phone but we`ll have to wait for it. I`m sure there is a long waiting list :)

I actually watched all that, pretty interesting if it's going to work as good as it sounds like it will.

i might get one, depends on my flow :)

Hmmm I doubt it, I just got the Blackberry Pearl and I love it.

I have a nice Ipod video in my jacket pocket if i want to listen to music.

Im happy with my Q. Beinng in the tech business for so long i learned a very very important thing, let everyone else beat their heads against the wall with all the new toys, so you can buy the next generation that works like it should.

Pshh $500 is a lot for a phone. And i definitly dont want 1st generation, it will have too many bugs but i do plan on buying one eventually

NEWS FLASH NEW FEATURES ADDED TO IPHONE:

Once I get out of school, the Iphone could easily be my main computer. I'm looking forward to it :)

I love Apple products.. but this is really a castrated PDA.

The real killer for me is that its not open for developers. Theyre trying to tell me its really a mobile computer, but wont allow developers to write 3rd part applications. They will license certain partners, I'm sure, to develop applications but Apple will have full control of distribution through iTunes.. meaning they get a cut of every app approved and sold. This also allows them to prevent things like VOIP, and Instant messaging.

Its cool and all, but unless they open the platform I dont think I'll be buying one. Hopefully other phone manufacturers take notes on how to actually make a usable phone though..

I won't .........it's just a overpriced status symbol.

I'm happy with my current smartphone

It doesn't have 3g and has a rather poor camera.. therefore no I'm staying as far away from it as possible. Poor form apple.

That being said.. since it will probably be a very popular phone, maybe I can justify it and get work to buy a few, since we always have the need to demo Xobile on the latest and greatest phones;)

im gonna wait to see how many compliants are logged about the battery life with all that functionality that battery prob wont last long.

i really want it, but i am not buying another phone that i'll carry around half a day with no battery life left

I'm a huge fan of all things Mac, but I think I'm gonna pass on this one. It's impressive, no doubt, but I do just fine with my current cell phone, my ipod, and my digital camera all stuffed into my purse :) And they were a lot cheaper too.

i will get iphone for shizzle

I don't think I'll be getting it... it looks kinda cool, but I'm not 100% convinced it will be functional... the touch screen may not be as "smart" as they claim, etc...

plus everyone and their dog will want one, so they will probably be going on ebay for $2k, like playstation 3.. lol

Airek and I were talking about the battery life this weekend, I wonder what that situation is going to be like with some many applications running on it, it would be sick if they put a solar cell on it and you could throw it on the seat of your car to recharge

does nothing more than my verizion XV6700 not to excited by it plus it has no keyboard

i think its too big of a phone

looks nice.... but i bet you battery life will be for like 2-3hours

I have a pretty sick phone now, It does so much shit, its like my personal pc. Even updates traffic every two minutes..the only fricken problem is the batter goes dead every 2 hours, always needs to be plugged in.

It won't work where I live.

If it did, I'd be all the fuck over it.

What About AAPL , Anyone Buying That As Well?

Cingular's 2G network (EDGE) is faster than Sprint's 2G network. IIRC Sprint's 1xRTT averages 50-70kbps, where I usually get 115k-150k with EDGE.

I can't get EVDO or UMTS where I live, so I just gotta deal with it.

Regarding the push account.. Cingular's Blackberry Personal Plan is $29.99 for unlimited as long as you don't need to use a Blackberry Enterprise Server. I'd bet money that the unlimited plan on the iPhone will be the same $39.99 you pay on a Treo/Blackjack, etc.

it's not 3G phone... :(

no way jose

I will probably be getting one :)

I am getting one for sure.

There is no quirky keyboard so no won't be getting one. :disgust
