Will you buy an iPhone?

The question says it all!

No, its very cool but I already have a phone that suits my needs I don't need all the extra stuff it has

I will end up buying one at some point.. my major issues are the price and the fact its only provider is cingular.

ah yeah its gonna be around 500 bucks and i have verizon so its not even possible for me to get unless i switch service...which i am not.

i have t mobile which im going to give my phone to my lil bro.. and im getting the iphone.. !!

My only question is ... when are they coming to Australia! I want one.

Same here! I love T-Mobile and just renewed my contract (go the Razr Megapixel ) So, I guess It'll be a while...

I would, defintely, but I don't have Cingular. The price tag is big and would make a dent but hey it would be worth it. I checked out the demo on the Apple site and its just amazing...almost looks to good to be true.

I think the price is a little high and I can't stand Cingular.

I'll wait a few years until it's not exclusive any more and more reasonably priced.

why does everyone hate cingular?

For me it's because their customer service is awful as were their plans.

I have T-Mobile and have been very happy with them.

2008 at the earliest.

cant even get it in canada.. bad move on apples part going woth cingular only. it will block out the rest of the world from buying it.

Only if it comes to nextel.

If It Comes Out With Verizon Whats The Chances?

Oh yes....I hope to have one!

Hopefully the iPhone will take off and more carriers will get it too.

verizon does not have a chance of keeping me as a customer after this announcement.. sorry verizon, you've been good to me, but apple has been better. I AM BUYING AN IPHONE THE DAY I CAN!

No. Don't take me wrong, i'm still drooling after watching the keynote but...
- it is too expensive
- it is too fragile
- it works with Cingular

En+oH = No. I just don't need one, simple.

I agree with all of that except the drooling part.
I think it looks silly and doesn't seem as practical as one might think. Call me a purist, but if its called a phone then it should be a phone.....period. I already have an iPod and I have a cell phone. They both work flawlessly so I would have no need to replace them with one, singular device.
Things like that only satiate those technophiles who feel the need to have all of their eggs in one basket.
"Super" devices like that aren't very logical because they cost a heck of a lot more and are more prone for something going wrong with it.
Also, limiting it to one carrier in the USA on a GSM network is a little daft IMO. Verizon (whom I really don't care for personally) has the largest network in the USA, not Cingular. It would have been a much more practical and lucrative move to partner it with Verizon. Cingular has the largest network in North America. When you cut out Canada and Mexico from that, you are left with a rather mediocre sized network in the USA (the largest market base for this product). I understand that making the phone work on the GSM network opens up the possibility for more global use, but even now 3G is still in it's infancy and still isn't widespread.

Overall, this is a lackluster release from Apple... but at least those diehard rumor hounds, who have been waiting faithfully since 1999, finally got their iPhone. :black:
