yep i am one of those that bought the iphone - albeit on Saturday. Resistance to the launch boiled down to - its Friday Night for *&^ sake.
So you cant replace the battery - well guess what i had a nokia 3g phone for 18 months and i never have had to change the battery once...
Iphone gives me access to my
-photos
-music
-videos
-emial
and the smart sms conversations - which is the neatest thing yet. go look it just makes sense.
Internet via wifi on a mobile is joy to use instead of tiny opera mini - which is good but only due to poor screens on other mobiles and lets face it wap is not really good.
Iphone gives me not
-sms to multiple people,
-no mms
- the US centric keyboard where all web address must end in .com - which localisation doenst alter.
Edge network is slow but copable and after you have to wait for the opera server to get even close to decent internet on normal mobiles - its really about the same speed. Oh and safari handles javascript and popups better than opera mini.
I also cant see any shockwave sites - but i expect adobe to sort that out soon...
The most annoying things
- damn the point less youtube icon
- stocks icon must be there for Stevey so he can watch the apple stock... Youtube is just simply pointless and so is the stock watcher.
do i like it - yes its simply better than any mobile with internet access.
the wifi connection is so simple others should worry alot.
do i mind paying for the phone - not really cos its really the video ipod with the phone built in - its also really a neat internet device - which you normally have to pay for aka Nokia
The most annoying thing overall is the insurance - normal phone insurance covers for the device since you can buy a new one and hook it up to the current contract. Iphones only sell with a new contract - so the extra insurance is the gap to buy out of the contract! and that simple sucks. If any lawyers present advice please.

Yep no queue for me
