you're really projecting on this!

and since when has island ever posted that he didn't hit a nerve? that's the only reason he posts, so it's sort of par for the course.

I bet the people who were standing outside stores a few months back waiting for a wee had thought of this!

I think the real 'Tard is Todd for being so upset by this.

I'll get a iPhone in a couple generations when they decide to have text messaging.
The first gen doesn't support it. Plus you pay for it with the AT&T plan, how's that for screwing you?

I need text messaging, I don't know how I'd survive without it. It's great for dodging long tedious conversations.

The mayor of Philadelphia <i>was</i> standing in line:

Mayor Waits for IPhone, Then Leaves Line

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Mayor John F. Street abruptly ended his wait in line for an iPhone Friday after a passer-by asked him about the city's murder rate.

Street, who showed up outside an AT&T store at 3:30 a.m., left shortly after a 22-year-old sporting a mohawk asked him, "How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?" The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on its Web site.

Street told the man: "I'm doing my job," the newspaper said.

Street had planned to stay in line for most of the day, waiting for Apple Inc.'s iPhone to go on sale at 6 p.m. When he left at 11:30 a.m., Street said he planned to return to his spot.

The mayor said he wants the new device because he loves trying out the latest technology. Apple's new handheld would allow him to work some of the day outside the office, he said.

"We don't have to be sitting in City Hall to be conducting city business," he said.

Philadelphia recently had its 200th slaying of the year. Its murder rate is up from last year, the deadliest in nearly a decade.

Mayor Street is a joke. He's why I moved out of the city

Just drove past the local store on the way home and there was a huge line snaking around the parking lot. I yelled "Get a life!" as I drove past.

No argument on the standing in line thing.

As far as it not working 100%. It does work 100%. It just does not have some of the features that we might have wanted/expected.

Lack of 3G and installable apps is a biggie for me. Maybe not so much for other people.

I wan't an iPhone and am trying to resist going to the store and getting one today.

I think I will be better off waiting for the next rev.

I will bet you $20 it does not work 100% and you claiming it does shows your ignorance on the complicated system that is a cell phone. Nothing ever does when it is released, esp something controlled by software

And Steve Wozniak being allowed to the front of the line to buy 2 is a lame publicity stunt.

Every Apple employee gets a free one; Woz is still on the payroll.

FWIW, the first computer in my home was a II GS Woz.

Hey guys, just thought I'd float in a message from my new iphone.

J/K:D

Chalk me up as one of those who just doesn't get it. Wait... there are no more chalk boards.
