    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?

        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.
          ..and I'm off.

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

                  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.

                                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.

                                          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.

                                                  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

                                                      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..

                                                            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.

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.

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.
                                                                                          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.
