I assume the iPhone will make a bunch of money for Apple, but I really don't see the point of one. I don't use eighty percent of the features my low-end cellular phone has.
I have the most vanilla phone I can find. It does not take photos (why would I want to take bad quality snaps on my phone) it does not play music, it does not have Waylon Jennings ring tones. I pay a little extra to have a phone that does nothing.
I have an iPod, it is wonderful and life changing, I absolutely love and depend on it. But I do not want it to ring and bother me.
I have a six-month old video iPod, a very nice RAZR (I even like the pictures it takes), and thirteen months left on my current cell contract. To quote the old movie, Kevin can wait.

Blake, I guess you missed this post on lolcats that appeared here a few weeks ago. I'm glad that our bloghostess turned me onto that site, because lolcats are great (or possibly even "teh funneh").
OK, I must admit I'm not an ultra-ubergeek. I mean, I didn't camp out at the local AT&T store, though I checked to see what the line was like :) But I did order it online the moment the store opened.
Actually, I ordered two. My wife wanted one too. I love my wife.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about the iPhone. I just want to make calls.
But as a long-term 4-channer, I hate icanhas and all the other "lolcat" sites that ripped off a year's worth of Caturday posts then slowly added their own half-assed attempts. Screw you, lolcatters. Anonymous does not forgive.
I'm no longer an early adopter, though I can't say I regret getting one of the first Tivos (it's still running after 7 years). If I had a bit more discretionary income, I'd go ahead with this first iteration iPhone. But I have to be more careful, so I'm waiting on a few things, not limited to:
1) more than 8gb or an expansion slot 2) a chat program 3) a SDK so it's more like a little computer 4) a better camera, with video, and the ability to mail photos and videos 5) a quick-charge battery (really quick, like a few minutes) 6) ATT improves its network speed
Meanwhile, I wish much enjoyment to those of you who have gone on ahead and bought one. Thanks, even. The better it succeeds now, the more chance they'll upgrade these features soon.

Spooky. I just found this site...(ICanHasCheezeburger.com) I mean.

But it's so beautiful! The iPod, not the kittycats.

But the email and the wifi...
I am an ubergeek. I like features. I will buy.
Like mcg, I'm a gadget-guy, so I'll probably break down and buy one eventually. Two reasons why not now:
1) AT&T sucks.
2) The network used is decidedly lo-fi. (Did I say AT&T sucks already?)
Apparently my goal to be the last person in the US forced to own a cell phone is preceding apace.
Gahrie,
Could be. I held out until last year, when my job required me to carry one.
IR, your reasons just prove why you're not an ubergeek :) If you were, you'd buy it now, and buy it again when your issues were resolved :)

I WANT

Philly’s down to 6th most populous city in America but it will always be good for a laugh.
(Such as it is.)
Don't toy with me, Althouse. I'm already twitching from desire.
I thought you would celebrate your 10 millionth hit with the iPhone.

It made me shudder to read that! I guess I just hate carrying my phoe with me in the first place! It leaves me too accesible and somehow vulnerable.
I am a mess!

Got!
In fact, I waited to read and then to respond to this post until I could do so from my iPhone.
Aaaahh!

iWant one too. But I'm stuck with T-mobile for another year. On the other hand, 2nd-gen iPhone would be better!
