Should I get an iPhone?

[SinsHarvist]

Actually... its $150-$200 on Deal Extreme...

Which is pretty crazy because usually products there are so cheap...

While every reseller is busy selling M3 Reals for $50, Deal Extreme is selling them for $35 and free shipping too.

Sure the iFione is a cheezy knockoff... but maybe its actually a super badass phone o_o
But I wouldnt spend $150-$200 on a gamble

If you have a lot of money to spend, take a LG KU990 Viewty.
Its 100000x better than the Iphone.

Ahh I'd like to mention that me getting the iPhone will be the ultimate form of irony and hypocrisy.

See the thing is, I managed to persuade at LEAST thirty people to not buy the iPhone. I managed to persuade them fast and efficiently.

Ironically, the only person I couldn't manage to persuade is myself.

Yep. People will kill me. *shrugs*

And now I'm phone-less. I'm getting comments/messages on Myspace every 5 minutes (not really but you get the idea) about why I'm not calling or texting back anyone.

So now I need a phone. Like, really really badly. I considered all the things people said about the iPhone and weighted it; I decided buying the phone has a slight edge (only slight....) over not buying it. And so, to decide once and for all, I decided to ask here!

What are your opinions (meaning personal; not the opinion or words of others) over the iPhone? In your opinion, what are it's Pro's and Con's, and if weighted, what comes out to be in favor?

PS: For the love of GOD, please don't post: "apple sucks", "AT&T sucks", "it just sucks", "you'll get jumped", etc. or "everyone wants one", "it's really cool". FYI, I don't mind apple or AT&T.

If you're rich, get an iPhone. The phone is expensive, and AT&T is expensive. The iPhone is over rated. It's OK, but it's not worth it's price tag. Also, iTunes, ewww. I don't regret getting one, but I wouldn't do it again.

I'll take my Motorola RAZR over an iPhone anyday...and I hate Motorola phones. Nokia seems to make the best cellphones in my experience.

Alcatel are the most user friendly if you get used to it... especially for texting, I think

I understand your hatred for iPhones. But to state something like that is ridiculous. A RAZR? Puh-lease. I can make a novel about that piece of **** and all it's failures.

Pick a decent phone at least if your going to say something like that.

If you're looking for phones for the sake of music, take a look at sony-ericsson's walkman series. If you want something that's feature-packed, runs windows mobile, and don't mind the pricetag, I hear good things about AT&T's 8525 (and there's an 8925 now as well).

A friend of mine has used both a SE w810 and an 8525 and has been quite happy with them (though he did bruteforce the firmware on his w810 to unlock stuff). I can't speak from my own personal experience since I don't heavily use my cellphone - I still own an old motorola v60i (yes everyone gasp in horror/amazement/sheer lulz).

As far as the iphone goes, pretty much everything I've heard so far has left me resolved to never touch the thing.

You can either jailbreak an iphone (or not) OR grab one of these when they come out. http://www.pmptoday.com/2007/04/29/m...-16gb-version/
And yes, they're an official Chinese company that distributes products to the U.S. and Europe. No fake/crap quality i've heard about. Also have their own support forums in Chinese and English. I'm going to hold out with my n73 until this awesome thing is finally finished.
