Re: iPhone - so...what's the deal?


Holy f--- this is cool!

I am doing my first sync now, as with Ron the setup was a breeze.

I opted for an AT&T store that was close to work--got there after 5:00pm and stood in a line of about 60 (in front) and half that in back. By 6:30, an AT&T rep was filling out forms with our names, numbers, and requested phone (the 8 gig one, of course). She said they still had them, then the manager came out and said that they were beginning to run low. The guy next to me opened his eyes like a deer in the headlights... the few, the proud, the people in line were quite fanatical and chatty.

I would say that the demographic was mostly middle-aged men, a few women, and a few youngsters (20-30-something guys). People came straight from work.

At about 6:45 I was in the store. I ended up getting the Beklin Sleek Acrylic case--will see how it does, but will take it back and exchange for another if it does not work out.

At this point, as much as I would like to take it out of the cradle and bring it over while visiting friends, I really want that battery to charge fully first.

This is the coolest piece of tech I believe I've ever owned!

Nice - we have at least 3 HTforum reviewers in house.

Thanks guys!

First question - outside of WiFi, Is the supposed new speed from AT&T OK? How does it feel in the real world for email, etc. Maps might be a good test.

I think this hits the right casual audience very well. But, having played with it, there are issues I don't think that I can work around that will make me stick with the Blackberry.
