iPhone anyone?

All this hooplah about the iPhone. It's all that newspapers from the L.A. Times to the Wall Street Journal would talk about this week. I thought about getting one because the phone sounds like it has wonderful features.

I love gadgets! If and when I have extra bucks to spend, I am one to buy a gadget just to fulfill the desires of my wannabe techie heart:o) A lot of my friends were wondering if I would add an iPhone to my collection of phones that I alternately use. Currently I have a Samsung D807 from Cingular that I got with my service contract, I have a white Sony Ericsson 810i walkman phone I got from my last trip to the Philippines (because I craved a white phone) and now I have a Blackberry Pearl that my ex-boyfriend gave me because he had such big hands to own such a slim and tiny Blackberry. With this array of phones, do I want or need an iPhone? Need, well NO! Want, Yes! Yes! Yes! The phone is eye candy to gadget hounds like me. Would I line up to get it? Definitely, not. For all the hype and what sounds like a great phone, I don't know if I am willing to shell out that much money (full price) with a 2 year contract. I also don't want to get a 1st generation phone that would be re-done to have better and cooler features months from now like they did with the iPod Nano 2 years ago.

I wonder though if the wi-fi feature will deliver well enough that you can dispense of your laptop and just use this all in one mobile communicator. That remains to be seen.
