While I probably won't be listening to a lot of Jack Johnson like Apple wants me to, I'll definitely be using the hell out of the other features. I'm actually really excited about this phone, I think it's going to huge for my productivity. I've never had a fancy phone, my current Samsung t-519 is dated and drops calls like that's its job. So I'll be happy to upgrade.
A lot of internet shitheads have been writing people off as fanboys for liking the iPhone but I honestly feel that it's a revolutionary device. The user interface is leagues ahead of anything out there and the app store is going to revolutionize the way we get ripped off for shitty content. I'm glad that Apple is presenting us with a convenient way to blow lots of money on things we don't need, but at least they'll be generally well designed and functional.
I'm super excited to have GPS (right now I text google things like FedEx near 97232 and I get a few results back in text, but if I don't know a specific address it makes it hard to find). Also looking forward to getting my work email (Exchange) and my personal email all on one device. Calendars are going to be killer too. Not to mention a good chunk of my music (though I was really hoping for a 32gig), a season or two of whatever TV show I want to load up, and a slick photo viewer.
All for 300 bucks.

I am getting one on the 11th too. They’re seriously the only ones challenging the mobile industry by doing something new.

Fo sho, it’ll be interesting if the other guys actually get their shiznits together and make something that compete.
Blackberry I think is the closest right now in terms of functionality but their UI is absolutely put to shame by the iPhone’s.

I’m a fanboy but I agree. And I don’t really think the competition knows what they are doing right now to compete against the iPhone – pretty soon Apple will dominate the market. Too much? Gotta have dreams.
