Apple and AT&T have finally set a date. On June 29th we can witness the birth of the iPhone.
After much speculation, the recent ads posted by Apple confirm a late June product release. We were as excited as everyone else to learn about the iPhone, but to be honest we're a bit over its high price tag and single cell phone provider. Anyone out there plan on getting one?
I'd like to think that I won't be getting one, but who (whom?) am I kidding?

I plan on waiting 6 months - 1 year to see if there are any bugs/big complaints and then decide if it's worth it.

Yeah who was I kidding too when i thought I'd just stop by the new at&t store the other day to check out the trial aspects of their plans. less than 5 minutes later and I'm on the wait list.

agree with bluestar. Also, really don't like the single-provider and hope something will change.

whoops, my ital came out wrong - meant only really to be italicized. How do you do that if you don't put another bracketed i at the end?

Pixie, put a after the word(s) you want italicized. That stops the italics.

After months of persuasion, I finally convinced my girlfriend that it would be a wise investment for me to purchase the new Palm Treo 680...right before the iphone was announced. So I don't think I'm going to get the green light for the iphone - as much as I would LOVE one.

I really want to get one, I just hope that they dont all sell out to the people camping out in front of the store for a week before!!

Maybe it'll be like like Great Wii Hunt of 2006!
Although I'm sure if you are willing to spend 1-2k on Ebay, one can be had without having to camp in front of a store for a week.
I would be interested in getting one but only after a few solid hands-on reviews pop up. This probably means that I won't get one for 6-8 months, since I'm sure they will be hard to find for the first 2-3 months.
That said, I'm hoping that this causes other phones to go on the cheap! >:]

I will get one when there is either a "speedbump" or a new iteration. I would normally just jump in but I'm focusing on getting other parts of my system i.e entertainment system, dialed in.

...I need a new phone and I do not have an iPod. What a better reason to get one! Plus I do have cingular/att!

my VZW contract doesn't end until March, so I'll be waiting until then. I figure this gives them enough time to work out the bugs and come out with a newer, cheaper, bigger hard drive model, as they always do within 6 months.
