I'm an iTard! I bought an iPhone!

[meegbear]

Got the 8GB model this past Friday and haven't looked back! It's definitely an impressive piece of hardware (just like me ).

Any other iTards out there?

1. how is the reception?

AT&T doesn't have a good rep in this part of the country

3. Excellent actually ...

haven't had a problem with calls and they have what's called the "Edge" for internet related access. The nice thing is you can jump on anyone's wireless signal and use theirs; the upstairs company has one and I'm getting email, etc no problems.

2. No

It's not that I am not intrigued by it-
I just don't like cell phones that dont flip closed.
All the screen scratches would make me mental.

How do you like it?!?!

[meegbear]

4. I like it a lot ...

I'm a Mac person and think it's one of his best products. And I will be getting a guard to cover the screen to minimize that problem.

10. it's a glass screen

not plastic, will minimize scratching.

9. Hm, I was THIS ->

It's hard, at the big Apple store, to NOT do it.

I decided to hold off on this gen, as originally planned, but it's hard to resist!!!

13. I work a second job and they had a network crisis ...

worked a couple hours for 2 nights, then took a vacation day to finish it. I told them this project was to be treated differently than my regular tasks and charged them $700 so I could buy the phone. I was just gonna put money aside and buy it when I saved it up.

That worked out nice for me.

12. If I had the money

I'd already own one. The AT&T part sucks but otherwise I really want one.

14. I want one without the phone part..

Keep the wifi so I can check my e-mail or visit websites when I hit a hotspot. $499 for 8 gigs and I would buy it in a second. I don't need a phone.
