What's going to happen once everyone who wants an iPhone has one? In my opinion, the iPhone is a fad that will pass. It is a very cool device, I'm not trying to put it down. When the ipods came out, everyone was buying them. I'm sure they are still selling a lot, but I don't personally know anyone who has bought one in the last six months. RIM has been around for a while and they are still selling a lot of devices.

i don't really get why people want apple products so much. if it's for music, the walkman range is actually better quality.

I bought my wife one of these since her wonderful coworkers talked her into needing one. I personally believe it is a sluggish piece of crap with terrible battery life. She must charge it every single night or it won't work the next day. If I had bought it for myself I would've taken it back for a refund.
Something else that kills me is the fact that most iPod accessories won't even work with the stupid thing (i.e. modulators, chargers, docks, car stereo adapters, alarm clock docks). But everyone here knows that wives don't listen to reason. I guess fads come and go.

I don't rate them either... you can get a better performing chiphone for £120 open to any network and plan you want..
They aren't even very good phones.. today our local iphone owner had to use my grotty old nokia to make a call because he couldn't get a signal on his. Some £600+ over 18 months plan eh... when he can't even use it most days at work.
they look nice and the features sound on paper awesome... but the performance and price seriously lets them down.. especially in a market where a £400 device is outdated and worth £70 in 6 months.. if you are lucky. There will be a lot of these on the market in 6 months.. and I expect to see a second hand trade price around £40

While I dont like the iPhone either I doubt the second hand price will drop drastically. Especially not in America. You would be surprised to see how well Apple products retain value compared to gadgets from other companies.

Its a fad that fools buy into, and iphone fails at being a smartphone.
Personally, i think Openmoko's Neo FreeRunner will destroy the iphone.

That's the impression I got. Like the old "Newtons" in a way. I'm even led to believe that the picture quality isn't that great. Is there any truth to the rumour that $ony intend to combine the PSP and a phone together?
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.
