I am they look truly amazing, however I might wait for the second round so they can work out the bugs..

Apple - iPhone

One thing the tech media has taught me: wait for the second round of any apple product.

But no, I probably won't get one. My old Nokia that can *gasp* make phone calls and send texts and download some games is OK with me.

Not me. I won't buy anything Apple

I currently use a Motorola but I prefer Nokia.

I would love to have one eventually, but definatly not the first round, like you said. I most likely, however, will never have one. I tend to get in too deep with asking myself questions like "Do I really need this?" and talk myself out of purchases of that sort (wants, basically.)

If I wanted a PDA that could make phone calls I'd buy a laptop.

...waitaminute.

I'll probably just get a Blackberry or whatnot in a couple years; the iPhone is just too expensive for too little gain.

Na, I don't use cellphones. Being wired all the time gets on my nerves.

A friend of mine made his own "iPhone", by install OS X on an older phone.
It's a money saver, I may try it!

defantly not
mobile phones are a complete waste of muny anyway, why get a stupidly expensive one?

how?

well, won't buy a phone like this: its really expensive and i think a mobile phone is not an entertainment device (well, i know for many people it is). I only use my mobile phone for talking!

They certainly are very tempting. But for the price, no thanks

Not me, too expensive. If I was rich I would buy one. Also I think it is too
large of a mobile phone. I like smaller phones, which I can keep in my pocket.

Well, I have a Erricksson that is an MP3 player.
so I need no iPhone!!
YEah me!

i like the greenphone. if i didn't absolutely despise phones, i'd get one.

Not another Mobile!

Where I work you are not allowed to use mobiles, however work gives me 3. One is a my office phone that uses the hospitals WiFi systems to track me and redirect my office calls to me. The second is a normal mobile which is used by people because they cant get through to my office phone because its engaged! Its engaged because Im on it!!!! The third is my Major Incident phone which is only used for SMS's. So another phone no not for me.

Can Linux be installed in a conventional mobile? Opps I shouldn't be talking linux but I just like to see if we can play around with it in mobile. Just like OSX in a iphone.

I actually was tempted to buy iphone vs nokia N95. Which one do you think is better?

Not me. I don't like Apple

In the words of Public Enemy - "Don't Believe The Hype".

So what have Apple done. Taken old mobile comms technology (EDGE) and added an applications processor ($10) and put a closed OS system on it.

Wrapped it in a shiny shell to sell for very large margins to the sheep that buy into their marketing messages.

I'll wait until there is some hands on use. Mobile is all about instant access and usablility. If it is even slightly more hassle to type a number on the screen than a normal keypad it will have a big impact on uptake.

I'm not against it I just think everyone should hold until they can try one. Maybe it will be brilliant but I'm not goign to be drawn in by a few pictures and some web hype.

I've palyed with enough prototype mobiles to know that small things make a huge difference in this business.

mobile phones are so anoying, i hate talking on phones and there is some evidence that thay case brain cancer. so thay should be ilegal, and install more phone boxis.
as a music format, mp3 sucks!. in digatal music 24 bit wav is the best posable with digatal music, unfortunatly the files are huge! better than that is a 100k record player (no i dont have one!)

Nope, too expensive and turns you into a mugging waiting to happen.

I will stick to my small phone/mp3 player. I don't need any other functionality.
