I greet the iphone just like i did the ipod - ho-humm... anyone with me?

[quote Seacrest]Put away $100 a month.
In six months, you can buy the first one, easy.
THen I'll have $600. I can think of 100s of things I'd rather do with $600...

An hour with a good hooker for example...

Or TWO hours with two OK hookers.

Or four strippers....

I am NOT wrong. Ho-humm IS how I greet the iphone.

[quote pRON aHOLIC]If I wasn't on this Q for another 9 months and it was available today I would get it even though Cingular coverage is awful here.
I don't get that, pRON?

I don't care how interesting a device may be if using it opens me up to more frustration. Cingular absolutely sucks.
It will have to be available for much less $$$ and run on Sprint ($15 data plan) before I'd go for it.

As I always say, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

Without a cell contract?

I wonder if/how it works without the Cingular service? I mean, in two years when they're up to Rev 4 of it, will you be able to buy a used one and actually do anything with it without signing up for Cingular?

Love the screen UI technology.
Integration into other things will be interesting.


Can you replace the battery yourself? :-)


My current phone was free with a one year plan. It's three years old. All I want it to do is ring.
Verizon. I haven't had no bars or a dropped call, anywhere, yet. Cingular and Nextel coverage sucks, here.

Price doesn't bother me as much as have to sign away with Cingular for two years. I wish Apple had gone the mobile virtual network route like Virgin Mobile with pay-as-you-go. It will be curious to see how "civilians" respond to the phone. I think it's way too expensive for the teen set, especially @ Cingular's rates. It might be a tad too slick for the avg. business person...plus will it work with Outlook? Great product I just don't know it its positioned right. Getting tied down w/ Cingular could be like being on the wrong end of an anchor. Well see.

I think women will need to stop wearing makeup, to avoid iGunk all over the screen.
