I have no desire to get an iPhone. For me while the iPhone does look cool, I don’t need it. Further the monthly fee is likely what I pay in a whole year for my current cell phone.

If you hardly use your cellphone then I wouldn’t buy one either. For us it’s the only way to contact us as we don’t have a house phone or anything.

The only reason I have a home phone is I get the service for free with bundling with my high speed date and digital cable.

Thing is, I don’t get people lining up at midnight and what not for these things?! I mean, okay, if you want one, buy one, but lining up and running into the store in a frenzy? Is that a highlight of someone’s life these days? Yikes.

I don’t know… it can be fun if you have a group of people to sit there and talk to.

I definitely agree with you. We decided that we would take a chance and sell our old iPhones before Jobs’ keynote. We didn’t know when they’d be coming out, the price, or if there was even a new iPhone. Luckily things worked out for us, and the profit we got from the old one will pay for more than a year’s worth of the additional data cost.

I couldn’t agree with you more. However, this seems to be the case with most, if not all of Apple’s products. Even Steve Jobs’ keynote speeches are loaded with anxiety.

There’s something in Apple that makes people act strange. What is it? I dunno!
