Nope, no iPhone for me. Not that it doesn’t look INCREDIBLY COOL, because it does, but I am just not going to pony up $600 for a phone and switch to AT&T’s service, especially when I already have a perfectly good phone and iPod. (Plus my alarming tendency to be incredibly rough on phones of late.)
But, I really would like to see one up close & personal. However, let’s face it, by the time the riots die down for it, it’s going to be like every other cell phone on display in an AT&T store. The battery will be dead, the screen will be cracked and the video will be in the form of a colored sticker on the screen and a disgruntled clerk telling you to “use your imagination.”
So, if anyone out there braves the whackos waiting in line to see one of these this weekend and gets to see it before it just becomes a battered piece of non-functioning metal chained to a display case, do tell if it seems to live up to the commercials.

I am extremely skeptical that it will be as cool in person as it is in the commercials. Especially running on AT&T’s data network, of which I have heard less than complemetary things in this area.
