Default So who else is getting one?

Well for us Canadians the iPhone was just released today, my wife has been bugging me to get her one. So today I phoned in and upgraded her cell phone.

The plans are not as bad as I thought they would be, the phone alone wasn’t that bad either.

Any who, I think that Rogers was very smart to get the iPhone in for Canadians, they will be laughing all the way to the bank with the iPhone.

Oh I got the wife the 16G iPhone you know me all in or nothing hahahahahaha.

Well so who else is getting one?

Come on I can't be the online one

I've got the "old" iPhone, and don't see the need to "upgrade" to the new one. 3G is nice and so is the GPS, but we can take advantage of the new 2.0 upgrade as well.

Walt Mosberg did an extensive test and he found that the battery life was even less in the new iPhone, which was a huge turn off for me.

I won't be getting one until Apple finishes their CDMA version for us Verizon customers which will still be a year or two down the road. Who knows, there may be better comparable phones by that time. I was just at Verizon and LG has a phone very similar to the iPhone and it's called the LG Dare. I think the previous LG model that was similar to the iPhone as well was the LG Voyager.

Don't go buy one today. Trying to get things updated and synched is a major PITA.

My girlfriend is actually in line for one right now, the line is three blocks long and isn't moving at all. It's getting so bad that the Mac store is just handing out free waters haha.

I really don't see what the big deal is... and from all the reviews I've read.... they're just as expensive in the long run as the first phone which you pay the expense upfront for.

Apple is not stupid and there is no way they aren't gonna come out on top.... phones are like oil prices. They set the prices and how you are going to pay for them and in the end... every one takes one up the butt!!!


i like my blackberry curve

My g/f purchased one about 2 months ago. She's quite happy with it but I'm not planning on getting one any time soon. This is partly because I'd rather spend my cash on detailing supplies/bigger nozzles for my car and partly because I've got a miserable track record with taking care of my phone.
