YES, because I have the same phone for two years now, and regularly I chaged once a year, well another 6 months doesn't hurt.

 

So I can have my 2 devices in just 1, next I need a softphone (SIP) for the iPhone :D

"It's really nice, but too expensive" --> That's what EVERYONE said about the iPod when it first came out. I mean it cost $399! for 5GB!

And now look, everyone has one.

 

Moral: in 2011 we will all have iPhones generation 4 or whatever. This is just the beginning.

right now i am debating either for the iPhone or the PS3, each one is awesome but either i would love. i already have a palm tungsten T but i dont have a phone. i already have a xbox 360 and a modded xbox which does more than my 360 :). i have to think about and also think if i really need the edge network. mostly everywhere i am at there will be wifi so im not sure yet. i have to wait and see.

Well, being as nothing the ps3 has going for it, is actually going for it.... I would say get the iPhone.

I am sure that they will make some kind of addon or something for it.

I do not think its meant to replace your video iPod, but its supposed to supplement it.

What is with the poll? I voted:

 

No, I'll wait for a dedicated video iPod and then didn't pick the second one, cause I said NO and the server gave me an error, twice.

 

 

Oh well, like said above the I want just the main iPod features. The iPhone is great, but I never needed an all in one and even if I wanted it, the storage is to small. But like said above the iPhone will evolve and get better, so in time I may get one.

 

I just want the iPhone, gut the bluetooth, phone stuff, everything except the iPod software. Keep wifi, but then with all that phone tech gone, put a real hard drive in there. It would be nice.

i probably won't get one until the second gen...

 

i don't need or want a camera in my phone, i have an 8mp digital cam

 

so, if they sell a low end version without a camera and without some of the bells and whistles, for a lower price, i may buy one sooner

 

but, as things stand, i'm gonna wait a generation

 

and the iphone doesn't have an HDD... the 4 or 8gig storage is flash memory, just like the nano. a HDD would mean that it would need to physically be a bit bigger

im totally getting it. i think its amazing and its always more fun to be one of the first to get it. i did that with the MOTOKRZR K1m, i bought it the weekend it came out. too bad ill have to cancel my contract and ebay my moto ui phone that i worked so hard to flash. itll be worth it, though.

Seriously, why order 5 of them. thats 2500 buck assuming you bought the lesser of the 2.

 

And even though the space is smaller, i dont watch too many movies on my ipod, mainly standup albums (cook, leary, attel, pryor...), rock (Pink floyd, queen, nirvana, beatles, csny...) and the occasional family guy or the office episode. itll be nice to use it on a road trip where i can check emails, browse the web, post on insanelymac, and still watch movies and listen to music from 1 device.

this poll might be a little too soon... Cisco Systems filed a federal copyright infringement suit against apple this morning.. they copyrighted the name "iPhone" back in 2000

 

apparently, "negotiations broke down"

No way will I switch to Cingular/AT&T for cell service. Service totaly sucks where I live. Dropped calls & walkie talkie sound quality are the norm in Portland, OR. The iPhone while a bit more then I'd like to spend should be a real winner for Apple.

I'm gonna get the 8 gig so I have a phone when I get my license so when I do something stupid without realizing it I won't die. And for the 8 gig part I just want the extra data space for music and stuff.

 

Think of it this way, the more we buy the better they can make it the second time around because they'll know what we want and they'll be able to use more money to make it better. Along with other stuff like OS X.

What i want to really see done is a more expandable version of OS X used for it. As it is right now, its closed and you cant add your own software, but if they make it so it has a "desktop", maybe it will gain more popularity. Theyll probably reintroduce the newton before they make an iPod-CellPhone-PDA-Video-Desktop-Tablet handheld.

If I can put my medical software on there like epocrates, etc I'll buy one to replace my lifedrive. It's a pain in the ass to carry a PDA, my cell phone, pager and books all in my white coat. this will lighten the load a little. Plus the fact i'm still using my 2 year old razr and still have a 4G ipod without video capability...this would be a nice upgrade overall...
