Yes, I got an iPhone yesterday.

Why the hell did I wait so long (besides the fear of parting with $500)? Well, I knew a 8GB phone was not going to be enough for the music I wanted to carry. And our contract did not end until today with VZ, so we went out yesterday and grabbed a new phone for the wife and the 16GB for me.

Yes, I know of the 3G upgrade that is "imminently due", but 3G isn't going to help me in bumble**** Indiana. I'm thinking of jailbreaking it so I can use some of the 3rd party apps out there, but I'll probably hold off for now and just wait for 2.0 (unless someone can show me some apps that definitely make it worthwhile to do now...)

Comments

I've been drooling over an iphone since they came out - I'm still holding onto the hope that verizon will eventually be able to offer them.

It's a case of great phone/bad service, or mediocre phone/awesome service. Since a phone is primarily for making calls, I'm sticking with verizon.

I do however have an ipod touch so I'm halfway there :)

Same excuses I gave to myself for a long time. VZ's network kicks the crap out of AT&T's GSM crap, although that may change next year when they roll out 4G services. I played with everything from VZ several times, and even on the slow EDGE network, the iPhone did everything I wanted it to.

I actually wish they would have made the damn phone bigger (maybe an iPhoneXL).
