Anyone have i phone regrets?

Lots of pros n cons I hear, can you share them please?

I am gonna unlock it anyway but would like to hear the issues that comes with the hardware itself before I get one.

Or if you dont like it, let me buy it then so we can play with it.

The iPhone is a glorified touch screen phone. It's pretty awesome technology, but you'll get zero discounts on the phone and the phone service is contracted by Apple as well, so you'll see no discounts in your minute and data plan.

It's worth it if you really love the Apple product, otherwise, go with a PDA/SmartPhone.

I was using my sisters a little, it seems cool, but it'd get old after about a week. I personally would much prefer something on a faster network with data exchange for games and a memory card slot...

I love my Iphone, no regrets whatsoever! I have never owned an Ipod, so having the web, games (hacked it), aim, calendar/to do list, music, videos, and a phone all in one is just awesome.

im into technology, i hate all the bs with the iphone but the fact of the matter is its a good design when its in your hands, and you enjoy using it, rather than getting irritated at it.

I hated the idea of a touchscreen too, but it gets easier. I mostly play NES games which basically have a replica of a nintendo controller on the screen.

JR, you seem to have more fun at it, how is the battery life on it? I know 3G is not out yet till when they release it. (we all have 3G and that is why I am hesitant to get one) 3G rocks period....................


1regul,
Drop calls is due to area that he frequents that may be Verizon dominant and could also be hardware related. Have him see aniother store/att owned store not those dealers coz they wont do squat.

thank you again....
