Well, after months of waiting, I purchased a brand new 8GB iPhone yesterday! This thing is soooooo cool and works just the way all the previews indicated. I’ve used all the functions and have yet to be disappointed. The only real “downside” so far is that the screen smudges easily and will not clean with a shirt sleeve; it appears that the best thing beside the included cloth wipe is a Kleenex.
Since I had no PDA or iPod in the past and my phone was reaching the breaking point, this was not only a “cool factor” decision, but also a sensible business decision as well. I am sorry that Art Rogers is still stuck with that Treo of his. Have sympathy for Art today and a moment of silence, please.
I just upgraded my phone and was tempted to go with an iPhone, but didn’t. It wasn’t the cost of the phone that stopped me; it was the additional $40 each month to get the media bundle that would allow me to fully use all of the iPhone’s features.
I’ll stick with a phone for talking and a laptop for everything else.

Unbelievable. Marty, I’ve gotta admit that I’m impressed and at least a little envious. Enjoy the toy.

I still have my Treo. But mine was free. :)

Kevin-
Yours was free because you sold out to the man!
Micah-
It was worth the money.
Bowden-
My small amount of texting put me in the +$20 category, so that was ok with me. Thanks for stopping by!

I just got a MP3 thing on Monday. My ears are too big for those little ear muffs.
