I'm sending this msg now while walking the dogs.  Loving this thing although there are a few issues.  I'm sure Apple will work them out.  Post your opinions.

I thought it was stupid that all the reviews said that the only questionable feature about the phone was the actual phone part.

I wish i'd gotten the first 10 places in line somewhere so I could have sold them.

My 5 year old nokia does just fine...and everywhere is a wifi hotspot now days so I can just whip out the laptop for anything else.

+1

I got 6 and sold them for about a $1800 profit  I looked at one and thought about keeping it, but the $300 profit was much greater than the coolness of the phone 

^ damn skippy...it's like with the PS3.  I wish I had taken the money and bought 4~5 of them and sold them the day after opening night for what?  $1200~1500 a piece?  People can be so stupid...

how did you get six when there is a limit of one per person right from the manufacturer?

limits weren't enforced.  In Houston you could get two per person.  In Amarillo no one gavea  shaZam!.

got ya

I am an "Apple Technician" and hold the license for the area where I live for exclusive retail sales and repair of Apple products  That alloted me an automatic 6 iphones direct from Apple

However I don't even own a MAC  and I rarely work on them 

Not I. I like my 8525 just fine.

limit was 2 per person.. and Scott is special..

i was thinking about getting one, but im gonna wait a few months till they work all the bugs out cause anytime something that new and great like that comes out you always hear people bitching about how theres glitches n stuff.

my Lg CU500 was free but as soon as i can get a updateed phone (4 months) i will get one for sure.

I bought my Razr about 3-4 months ago, and it's fine for me.  No i-anything for me, thankz.

I just think it's a waste... dropping $500-600 on a phone when I've already got one that works, having to switch to AT&T (blech), then paying for a $60+ monthly plan? No thanks.

I'm sure that in a few months the price will come down and other companies will have them, I might get one in a year or more when my current phone dies.

indeed. did anyone see the vid of miss piggy getting or buying her place in line, only to find out a limit of 1 per person? lol btw the miss piggy reference applies cause this woman beared a STRIKING resemblace to muppets fame

My step brother is getting me the hookup when his store gets the second wave in stock employee discount= 15% over cost

I would get one if it was on Verizon but I will not deal with AT&T/Cingular. It will not be long before other come out with a clone.

there already is a clone in the UK called the HTC Touch.  it will be available here in October, not sure who will carry it.  i think Vodaphone carries it in the UK. 

it's definitely not for everyone, and there are some issues i am encountering, but because it is basically a miniature computer, all updates can happen via software through iTunes.
