Yes, I bought it. I waited 6 hours and was able to purchase, and activate mine at the store, without any problems. It's totally worth it. Also, there are a few bugs, but they will be fixed soon enough.

LOVE my phone. works perfectly. not a single problem.
Robin says – reply to this

34

No, its a PHONE for crying out loud. It is similar to lots of other phones with other services. Its only those "apply fanatics" that would stand in line to pay hundreds to buy a phone. What a joke they are. They need to get a life.

No, I didn't buy it. I'll never buy it as long as AT&T is the only carrier.
What do I think?

I think we have more important things going on in this world than iPhone.

i got mine as a gift. not the latest though. mine won't send or receive picture texts. you can't pick a ringtone. there aren't any games. the jack doesn't even work for my headphones, if i want to listen to something, everyone has to.
no force on this earth could've made me buy this thing on my own.

Apple sold out to the man — very unfortunate. As a current AT&T customer I will have to sign a new and seperate contract from my family and the phone might cost more than $199.
Angel says – reply to this

65

Yes I got it! I camped out for it too and let me tell you, its a fabulous phone! I love EVERYTHING about it. I heard alot of rumors that alot of people had problems with it. I would give a little of advice to wait out on it tho because its first generation if iPhone 3G so there might be a little bit of problems occuring with it. But, I camped out because prices will sky rocket and Im covered to get a new one anyways for 2 years if anything happens.
Apple says – reply to this

66

I would not buy any other computer or mp3 player other than apple. They are well worth the extra money you pay… BUT, I would give 2¢ for the i-phone. I just don't get what all the hype is about. When your new and glamorous i-phone craps out, you'll be bitching because you have to buy a new phone and a new mp3 player, etc cause it's all wrapped into one.

The iphone is smart! Innovative! You just got to be computer savvy to really see how hot it is. Customizing your own interface and application is amazing. I love that you can remotely erase the phone if you lose the phone. Over all, the smartest phone out in the market!! Big shout out to APPLE!

I'm a huge Apple freak and yes, I got the iPhone but sadly I wouldn't say it's anything special, good but nothing special. I still have my Nokia N95, it just feels more like mobile phone, you know.
Julia says – reply to this

84

You guys are so funny.

You're bitching about waiting in line for the iPhone, and I don't understand why. It's not like Apple called a bunch of kids to stand in line so it would take forever. YOU CREATED THE LONG ASS WAIT, STUPID.

I don't have an iPhone because I have T-mobile and I don't want to pay to cancel my contract. But my boyfriend works for Apple and he spent 13 fucking hours trying to make you people in line as happy as humanly possible because there wasn't enough space in the store for all of you. So quit your complaining.

But I have played with the iPhone and I'm lovin' it.

Apple is the shit.

This is my 2nd Iphone, and I'm still not all that satisfied with it. Plus, it cost me more the $199. Screw them, it wasn't cheap this time around.

Re: silly –

people buying 200$ phones is what helps simplify their busy business lives for companies that make donations to the poor and help support programs like welfare!

if anything… tax the rich! dont worry about the phones… someone working at mcdonalds can buy a Iphone.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
