I'm thinking about getting one depending on the plans that the phone companies come up with. I like the big touch screen
Any tech heads out have any opinions good or bad ?

Meh, my $100 phone makes phone calls, text, has a phonebook and a calendar. That's all I ever use.

If I saw someone with an iPhone I'd think they were a sucker... but then I think most people are that anyways so don't listen to me. Also I'm in IT so after 5 I hate tech stuff.

Maddox sums it up best concerning the original iPhone

mobile phones are turning the human race into a singular "borg like" entity !!!...

From a design and operating perspective the Iphone is unbeatable. It uses the Macs OS, looks great etc etc. But it all depends on what you want and need. It is definitely missing features that have been standard on phones for a few years e.g video, sending MMS etc The camera is only 2mp.. My 4 year old phone sends MMS, does video and has a 2mp camera, so this is definitely not a state of art gadget with all the fruit as far as technology is concerned. Pretty disappointing really. I do think it looks good and I'd buy it for the music/video alone because I watch a lot of movies on my IPOD video which is a bit small. But for someone wanting a feature loaded all in one phone/ipod/blackberry tool then this is not the best on the market. Sony and Nokia have better ones, they just don't look as good :)

I think its just handy to have an ipod in a phone, so then you dont have to carry ya ipod everywhere.

But i think ill be waiting for 2nd or 3rd generation!
