Hey, did anybody else get one and want to share their impressions? I'm very impressed, although the onscreen keyboard takes some getting used to. It seems to be running a little slow for me. Otherwise it's very impessive so far.

No. Damnit.


Don't make me hate you, Putney.

Hate, I can handle. It's the people who love me who cause most of my problems.

The iPhone's sheer brilliance couldn't compare to the Apple Store's high security and the security guard's taser when I tried to steal one.

I'd love one but it'd do me no good. AT&T&T&T&T doesn't have coverage in the state. Question is, will someone relocate just to get coverage? Hmm. LOL.

That price tag is a little steep, even for someone like me who's carrying around a Treo. I guess I'll have to wait for the iPhone Nano or the iPhone Shuffle. (I'm seriously thinking about waiting for Revision B.)

Plus, 4GB or 8GB for memory? Might as well fill that bad boy with apps (Quark, Illustrator, Photoshop), because my iTunes library won't even begin to fit on that.

Wonder who'll be the first to lay out newspaper pages on an iPhone — and the next thought is, tab or broadsheet?

No, alas I'm trapped in a contract with T-Mobile for another 18 months or I'd probably opt for one. Congrats on scoring one, though. Just remember that Apple often uses generation 1 technology releases as a beta test Twisted Evil

All of you considering an iPhone should click this link before making your decision.

The price tag is awfully steep for a gadget that, when you boil it all down from what's promised to what actually works, is nothing more than an iPod built into a cell phone.

This is yet another reason why I think Apple sucks.

Sure, you have an iPhone. But do you have this?
