Anyone happy with iphone?

I want to buy an iphone but I keep reading about all these issues with the iphone 3G and I was wondering if there was anyone who was at least mostly satisfied and liked their iphone 3G. I am sure that Apple has sold...millions (?) of iphone and I was wondering if it was the few 200 people who were not happy or if there are really a lot of issues. No one ever lets people know when things are going fine...only when there are issues. So I would like to hear your happy iphone stories.

Thanks.

I'm perfectly happy with my iPhone. I've seen a bit of the lag issue with contacts but other than that it's been fine.

Did the latest update eliminate most of the lag in the contacts?

Yes it did. They seem to zip by a lot faster than before but there is still a bit of lag. The lag is mostly getting started. Once it gets going it seems to be fine.

So far it is more reliable than my Treo 700P was.

I suggest checking out this article for a detailed explanation of what the 3G issues are rooted in. The 2.02 update is supposed to largely address that.

I love my iPhone!!!

Same here!

I want one badly!

i love my iphone. if anything lags, i just go back to home and reopen it and its fine.....(pretty rare)

my iphone owns, my freinds are about to buy them since they saw mine

I like mine. It still lags and crashes apps after the 2.0.2 update, but it is still worth it. I had a WM6 phone before this and even though buggy I wouldnt go back.

I've had the iPhone 3G for two weeks and the device kills. Unfortunately, where I live, work and play (south suburbs of Chicago near Joliet), AT&T's network is TERRIBLE!! I am in Edge or No Service more than 3G even though AT&T's coverage map shows it all should be 3G. I went to the AT&T corporate store and they completely blamed Apple. I went over to Apple who ran diagnostics on the iPhone and told me it's working fine. So as painful as it is, the iPhone is getting returned and I'm moving to another network - one whose 3G service works where I need it to. If AT&T is good in your area, and I check with other iPhone users before you plunge, then the iPhone rocks. If AT&T sucks in your area, the iPhone becomes a pet rock.

hmm i read on this forum elsewhere I think that their 3g rolls out full force in november.

Just throwin it out there as a you may want to give it a lil time.

Despite the thread I started before, I am overall very happy with my iPhone. Definite room for improvements in functionality and quality, but otherwise a great device. I would buy it all over again.

I love my iphone and have had zero problems with it.

=)

Happy with mine. I confident that all the issue that everybody are having fits over will soon be worked out. Most people just need to have something to complain about no matter what. You can't find a device that does or has ever done all the things that the iPhone can do.

Is it just me or is there a background sense of confidence in Apple products that is not present in "the other" brand? I notice in wcarr3's post (and others said as much: "I (am) confident that all the issue that everybody are having fits over will soon be worked out." There seems to be a quiet confidence that even though things are not perfect that is ok - they are going to purchase the product anyway and wait for it to be perfected. What a great attitude you normally don't see with consumers.

From a historical perspective, particularly with the iPod line, Apple has always come through "just enough" to make people keep buying them. I remember the gripes about the first 3 Generations of iPods and Apple did exactly that, just enough, to keep sales up. In the end, very few of the problems were legitimate problems at all.

I'm extremely happy with my iPhone, so much that I bought two white 3Gs.

I bought two partly for the differant numbers but mostly for the extra space. I like having lots of music with me and some videos too. 16GB used to be enough to hold only the music that I purchased in iTunes and not my other music. That was fine, I used my iPod for everything else. So now, I use one for my purchased music and one for other music and videos.

I also keep one plugged into my PowerJolt while I am wprking and it stays on 3G the whole night with email on and I use that one to check things on the net.

The other one gets used as a phone most of the time and stays on edge.

So yeah, I love my iPhones! Oh and I should add that my job involves being in my car about 12 hours a day.

No iPhone crashes, no apps acrashing or not opening, just perfect 3G phones.

Comes from previous experience with apple products, I have found bugs in all my iPods and macs when they first come out, but they were always resolved through updates.

Anyone in Hawaii (North Shore, Oahu) having problems with their iPhone. I'm seriously thinking of buying one for my wife and I, but the all the negative stuff I'm reading up on it is kind of bumming me out.
