I have never owned any Apple products,but I will buy an iphone. It sounds like the next big thing.

I've put off getting a new phone to replace my Sony/Ericsson for 5 months now...I can wait another month or two for an iPhone.

An iPhone will be on the top of my shopping list. as long as it integrates nicely with my Macs.

I've been using a 5 year old phone, waiting for the iPhone to arrive. As I use macs and iPods, and they "just work", I'll be getting an iPhone, and I'm sure it will not disappoint. My wife's Razr has a terrible interface. I'm betting the iPhone will blow the other phones away.

After struggling every year to get my work-supplied cell phone to work as a modem on my work PowerBook - I will jump at the chance for a cell phone that syncs, and can get me online, without a fight.

Rumors of the iphone are already priced into the stop so don't expect much of a move especially until it actually ships. People are more focused on diminishing itunes store sales as that affects apple's numbers in the immediate term and some of the buzz from iTV will be lost if apple isn't able to shift the content via iTunes.

I will so get an iPhone! The integration with computers and anything else they do it with will be supreme.

My plan is up w/ Cingular early February, so I'll be buying a Mac phone the second the link comes up. Hopefully they'll have enough made to not sell out.

hell yeah! Being a recent convert to the MacBook and had a blissful experience since whilst my PC collegues suffer, I would say the iPhone with its potential multi-radio (lets say GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and maybe even RFID reader!) and heaps of storage running a cool interface, it would supersede my (often) crashing Motorola L7 and my iMate...bring it on at a real cost!

This false just a rumor .iphone most likely will be out late nov 07

I still have my old Siemens M55. I've had it for almost 3 years now, so it might be on time for a change. And as I see it, the iPhone would be the perfect replace. I don't have any Apple hardware by now, but I'm seriously considering buying the iPhone, simply because it can't be anything but cool. I hope we'll here some from Apple very soon!

I hear there may be two models, a simpler one and a higher end one. Here are details on my take on the higher end handheld device - 16:9 touch screen, GSM phone, media player, Apple Remote Desktop, much more.

Yes, I will buy an iPhone, and maybe three more for my business partners. I am hoping for a combo of a satellite phone with a great (simple) interface, a Newton with not only handwriting recognition but also voice (no keyboard needed), a big screen for movies and ebooks, an iPod, GPS, touch screen, OSX Lite, radio reception, XM reception, fax, email, camera, and some huge 21st Century surprise that will revolutionize our lives. Well...it could happen, couldn't it? Might cost a bit more than $400 I suppose. I'll bet it will have at least three to five of the items above. I would pay $1000, maybe more if it all worked and didn't weigh too much.

I signed up for a pay as you go service in September (I had to get a new phone) just so I wouldn't be stuck in a contract when the iPhone comes out. I hope your story is right. Jan. 15th will be a nice day for me to buy a new phone.

Not possible, folks. The FCC has a publicly-disclosable review period for 30+ days before public release. Apple will need to pre-announce its phone at least a month in advance so that we don't dig the dirt from the FCC public database.

I have owned a Mac computer since the 80's when I owned an SE30 which probably had about a 30MB Hard Drive (wow)..now I have two Powerbooks, one being a MacBook Pro and I am excited Apple's new release...Verizon better be have the account or else I am leaving them!

I would love to. Been waiting for two years for this thing to come out, but unless it has at least 20GB of storage I'm going to have to wait. Maybe the 2nd gen version.

YES YES YES Apple products can't be beat for style design and user friendly, old graphic artist used MAC for years, great product.

This would be great but how would they be able to build and supply 12 million phones without back ordering this January? I suspect that they will announce a ship date and not everyone will be able to get one on time.

The 30 in the Macintosh SE30 referred to the specific processer it used (68030). It did not come with a hard drive. It was one of the first computers with an 800k floppy drive. Hard drives were external and hooked up to the computer using SCSI.

And yes, I will be getting an iPhone when they become available.
