All I ever use a phone for is to make phone calls. The last phone I bought cost $20 and I've been using it for 3 years.

Maybe v2 will come along better?
I will wait for the next generation...or beyond...or...beyond. I am certain Apple can do better, but will they?
Yes.. When its available

I am in India. We have a little hype about it here but who knows when it will hit the market.
Will I buy this phone? yes. Just because it is just a phone. In fact, I would have preferred if it just did that. Wonder what the phone, speaker phone and reception qualities are. But knowing apple, they will be good.
1. Music. Who knows who will listen.
2. Internet. We have enough internet and wifi zones around and I think 3G wont be an issue.
3. Video. Well the videos from existing 2 Mega Pixel cameras are useless, so why bother.
4. Images. I would have really liked an Auto Focus like Sony K750i.
5. Display and Keyboard. Awesome, I like the pinch and scroll stuff.
The price tag is steep, but that goes for all Smart and NotSoSmart phones here as well. And they look like a teller machine with innumerable buttons on them. So why not this!!
dumb question?

Want one. eventually.
It was announced 2 days after I lost my Palm. I want one!!!
Don't really need the phone, expecially if it on AT&T. (I was on Cingular in many previous incarnations. I am not any more. 'Nuf said)
Still - it looks like a great integrated PDA,internet & iPod, which on its own is enough. But not if I have to spend $600.
So. I'll wait. Until it is (1) cheaper, (2) has resolved some of the "bugs" and usage issues, and (3) works on some network other than Ma Bell.
To iPhone or not to iPhone

No. It won't work on my network and it does way more than I need a phone to do. I have a digital camera to take pictures, a PDA to keep track of events and people, I don't browse the internet away from my notebook, and I am retired.
Never!

I have always immensly disliked apple and their inferior technology but i have to admit this is a step in the right direction, if they weren't asking so much money for it. $600! I woulden't even spend that on a cellphone made custom for me with everything i could possibly want on it. Like I said though, it is better than most of their devices so far. With the auto-rotating screen, and NO BUTTONS! Mabey if it were less money and on a better network i would think about it bbut right now, it is a definite NEVER!
Absolutely Not!

If I wanted a toy phone, I would go find me a toy phone. I use a phone made for the business man, a Palm Treo.
No, I won't. My Treo 755p is all I need

PDA, bluetooth, Granddaughter pix in RescoView, Blazer browser handles most of the sites I need, including my work MIS sites, RSS feeds, Docs to Go to read and edit all MS Office docs and read PDF's.
PLUS, @ about 500K (speedtest tested), I love the speed. I am trying out the streaming TV - may or may not keep it.
Finally, after about 10 yrs with Sprint, they gave me a "loyalty upgrade" for all 5 phones on my account -- 2 free, Katana for $20, MotoRazr for $50 and the Treo 755p for $$329 after all rebates. The new hi-speed unlimited data plan is included on my new plan and works out to be about $20 cheaper than the old Vision plan. If I drop the Ultra Power Vision for Standard Power Vision, it will be another $10 cheaper. (We are sharing 2,100 anytime minutes on the five lines.)
I'm stickin'.
iPhone Poll

Yes I got one because I wanted one. Those who don't shouldn't buy it. LOL
Maybe...far from now

If a CDMA version comes out and Verizon or Alltel pick it up, and the price dips below $200, then I'd probably get one.
Never

Because I like my phone being a phone. It's just a plain clamshell style phone. I can talk on ALL bands, text messaging is on it but I rarely use it. It is web capable, but I have it disabled. I just don't have any reason to get online from my phone. I have a laptop, and a Sprint wireless card. Thats really all I need.
love the pod, hate the phone

Okay apple, here's the rub. Get rid of the phone, and the internet, I'm not interested. On a related note: 8gb is not big enough, not even close. My proposed solution is to chuck the phone and internet and with the newfound space give me a bigger hard drive/flash disc space (30gb minimum) and a graphics card. I think the photos app looks promising, and I've always wanted a visualizer for my iPod. I would not be willing to pay 500$ and then 40$/mo for this device. If anything, release the same application solely as an iPod with space. I don't want your phone apple, but maybe some day...
NO!!

If you truly understand the Cellular access that is available, then you wouldn't waste your money on a toy. Until the iPhone is given a 3G/UMTS radio, it is nothing more then ear candy. The 8125 is just as good, but not as cool looking. It doesn't have all the graphics, but that shouldn't be criteria for buying a phone. Now when they start selling an iPhone with 3G/UMTS/WCDMA technologies and that I can use as a modem for my laptop, it will be worth its weight in gold.
