iPhone buyers, Do you have any regrets?

I went to the Apple store for one of my 1 hour lessons yesterday (iMovieHD). So I had a chance to fool around with it. Brought up x5world but the print was a bit small. Will check it out later, and ask questions.

Early iPhone owners are overwhelmingly happy with their devices, a survey out Friday says, and Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T) are luring customers from rivals as a result.

In one of the first such studies, 90% of 200 owners said they were "extremely" or "very" satisfied with their phone. And 85% said they are "extremely" or "very" likely to recommend the device to others, says the online survey conducted and paid for by market researcher Interpret of Santa Monica, Calif. The firm surveyed 1,000 cellphone users July 6-10.

To be honest,

I'm really sick and tired of having to give product demonstrations to every passer-by that notices I'm on an Iphone.
At first it was cute, I was happy to show it.. Now I'm just starting to get annoyed.
I guess that's the price I pay for being one of the first.. But for cying-out-loud.. Let me eat my dinner or finish my phone call before you try to rip it out of my hands...

I must say, I have never seen a fascination with a device like the Iphone.

And to further answer your question, it is not a PERFECT device. But it is, by far, hands down, the best, most fun, easiest to use: phone, ipod, pda, ever made.

I especially recommend it for ANY Mac user who has been frustrated by trying to sync calendar's, contacts, etc. onto a phone or BB. It is a simple plug and play and sync solution.. It's seamless.

The phone quality is exceptionally better than my BB as well. It's also small, thin.. slips right into the pocket, no issues, no bulk, no more belt strapping..

Thank you Apple.

You need to zoom into the section you want to read. Just double tap with a single finger on the section you want to read and it will zoom in. Then double tap again and it will zoom out. Or if you want more control, use the pinching motion (with 2 fingers) to zoom in or out.

owning an iPhone is way worse then owning a designer bluetooth headset

First mistake B!

You buy an iPhone with all that hype and then don't expect people to comment? I don't get that.....

Let's see, it has been out less then a month following a media blitzkrieg....yeah..people will comment.

LOL Wag, You have a point..

But last night, I'm standing in a restaurant having a conversation. Business related.. My phone rings, (text message). And this obnixous girl runs across the bar, rudely interrupts my conversation and tries to snag my Iphone from my hands. --
I said, "excuse me, I'm in the middle of a conversation here." and she persisted in interrupting. --
Yes, I get the fascination.. But that doesn't mean people need to be rude. Especailly when you can go to ANY Apple store, that has 20 of them on display for people to play with and try it there.

I'm on the phone yesterday, and I sometimes pace when I talk, and this guy is following me, literally, pacing after me, waiting for me to end my conversation, so he can look at the phone. He was even giving me looks, like it was rude that I was not prematurely ending my conversation, so I can allow him a test drive on the Iphone. - I walked away from him..

People can be polite. Don't need to stalk us Iphone people. Go to the freaking store. Some people are just down right rude.
