I think I may! I have never been a particularly huge fan of Apple, nor the iPod.
I have always used my PSP as an MP3 player and video device. It also allowed me to play those “sillly” games I like. Until Sony decides to add a cell phone to the PSP, I think the iPhone may just be the product to help me give some of my hard-earned money to Apple.
I use my cell phone at least 600 minutes a month. I don’t wear a watch because my cell is always on my person and always has the correct time. I currently use a Moto RaZr, possibly the worst phone I have ever carried. The RaZr has the worst software of any phone I have ever used (except my old bag phone from 1986).
I have tried the Windows Mobile and PocketPC phones, and was disappointed that my tired old eyes had a problem with the teeny-tiny text.
My first attempt was a Cingular 8125. That lasted all of three days. Adjusting font size to create a readable text made it just about unusable. The second try was a Blackjack - the text seemed better, but the screen was just too small.
For those of you who have a Windows Mobile Phone, try this iPhone emulator.
So, that leaves me with the iPhone. It seems to be well laid out, with a good font size, easy to use, and with a built-in video iPod to boot.

It has been reported that with a two-year service agreement you may be able to get this for $299, not a bad deal if you don’t mind the contract.
So are you going to join me on the 29th and make Apple a little happier and our wallets a little lighter?

Certainly looks cool in the ads, doesn’t it? I really have nothing against Apple, but think they were rather backward in choosing a GSM carrier instead of CDMA, which is better in many ways. One of them is that not all GSM phones will keep the proper time, as they don’t automatically get it from the network, like CDMA phones do. Also, I’ve gotten used to being able to use my phone indoors and not worrying about dropouts or even the ability to initiate the call. These are concerns with GSM phones because of the frequencies used. I do know of what I speak, as I have sold Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint phones for a number of years.
