Anyone here own an iPhone? I have been considering getting one, having all of my email, contacts, calendars, etc. is just so tempting. It seems like it would be a big help, but the cost has been deterring me. Just curious.

by the way, this is my first post!

I considered it and would love to have one but I'd hafta change carriers and can't do that right now. :(
I'm looking seriously at a PDA phone that will work on the Sprint network in the very near future though. As soon as I can afford it.
I think it'll be more useful than a seperate PDA because I'll actually carry it with me and I already use my (relatively crappy) phone to keep track of appointments and such.

MY BRO TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER CES2OO8 IN LAS VEGAS THIS WEEK. HE SAID THERE IS A NEWER SECOND VERSION OF THE IPHONE AND YOU CAN GET ON A WAITING LIST IF YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

I ALWAYS HAVE HAD AN XV6600. AWESOME AND BIG SCREEN. I GUESS THAT THERE ARE XV6700 AND XV6800'S NOW. :cool:

ill get one next year

Yeah, with Apple it's always best to hold out until after the next Keynote Address or similar events because that's when they launch new products and update the existing ones and you're liable to end up ****ed-off that you paid full price for what is suddenly an older model. Another good thing is that if the older model is good enough for you, you can usually get some pretty good deals on them after they launch the new ones. :)

Well your bro's predictions panned out nicely didn't they

Actually I believe a gen 2 device will come out later this year. 3G and maybe 16gb or something. You are right that apple always update their product line (oh no how dare they!) so you might as well get used to it. Also go to the buyers guide on macrumors.com which will tell you accurate info about apples release cycles and whether you should buy.

I have had an iPhone since October and im in Australia where they haven't been released yet! Had to hack it. Its gorgeous and useful. I'm actually lying in bed on my side right now typing this on it!!

As for its uses in organization,its just as useful for syncing your calendar/contacts/to dos as any other PDA out there. But the beauty is in simplicity and the fact I'm forced to carry it with me since its in my phone. The apps eg calendar are easy to find search and even enter info into while on the run. Which is essential for a device like this to get acceptance by the add folk I reckon.

I'll get one when they make them so I can download iTunes songs right from the phone and I don't need to sync it to my computer.

Better warm the car up. You have been able to do that since they released v1.1.2 firmware in November 07.

I have one...
Rationalized spending the money to connect to all of my calendars etc... To be honest it's just another tool that I tried to use but doesn't help much... I'm not on medication for add though. My husband is ADHD he isn't on meds either. He can't put the thing down. Virtually free internet access everywhere you go. Even dinner out at restaurants. It comes in handy with hyper focusing I guess. And, if dedicated or able to organize (NOT me) I'm sure it could be a helpful tool. .
