First.

Speaking of first, I think the first paragraph has a section copied and pasted twice. Speaking of first, I think the first paragraph has a section copied and pasted twice.

I'll sell my blood for money to keep
my iPhone.

I would have gotten an iphone for my B-Day. Just didn't want to shell out 200 dollars to cancel my contract with t-mobile...

@ecrabb

I think you said that twice but then it's likely that the department of redundancy department got into this story and got into it.

Recently congress passed legislation that decreases the contract cancelation fee $5 every month I believe. For many longer term users canceling early may not be all that expensive.

I feel the same way. Its a tremendous device, I hardly use my notebook. I love my iPhone

Its the second best computer I have after my 24' iMac

Hear! Hear! iPhone 3GS is one amazing device.

Say it again, bro! A product of the decade? Yeah. Nothing else before iPhone had made all other mobile companies went crazy. And the stuffs I am usually did on my laptop are now 80% being done on my iPhone.

@ currentinterest --

Is that true? I feel obligated to respond with the standard "don't they have anything more important to take care of", but, damn, that's pretty cool!

Even those who, for whatever reason, prefer Android, Symbian, or "other" phone operating systems would not have devices anywhere near as useful as they have without the iPhone. Multi touch screens? Motion sensors? What place do they have on a cell phone?

I (still) like our strategy. I like it a lot.

Please pass me another chair.

I'll say it again, one day the iPhone will become the great leveler, in that once the device is available from all the major carriers this device will level the playing field for customer service.

Imagine using the iPhone as the defacto standard with which to compare services across the board?

Go APPL!

I think it is the product of the century!....(so far).

It's about time that somebody besides the Apple faithful recognized the iPhone for the revolutionary product it really is. Someday, when the rest of the market has caught up a little, the iPhone may have many worthy competitors; but today, it is clearly in a class by itself.

Obviously this moron hasn't used Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5. It runs on a wide variety of phones that feature replaceable batteries and you can run mobile versions of Microsoft Office apps. Pretty cool. There's even a version of Internet Explorer and when you want to let your hair down you can play your favorite WMA music files.

Nice try, MAC, but Microsoft has already been there, done that. Product of the decade? Anything that runs Windows Mobile. Suck it, MAC dorks.

Your potential. Our passion.™

I travel out of the country on a regular basis for pleasure. I used to take my laptop with me... to keep up on emails, and store my photos.

I now take enough flash memory, and my iPhone...

I can surf the web and keep up on email enough to stay engaged ... and my travel gear is significantly reduced.

Long Live the iPhone

The iPhone would be better with Microsoft Bob.

The world without Steve Jobs would be a very uninspiring place.

Product of the decade, and soon to be ecosystem of the new century; the iPod family emerges as a universal platform for the future, now.

iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, all vertically integrated from your palm to your living room to the world..

This is a tipping point. .:.

@zine tang

I really hope your not that clueless. But if you are kidding, it's funny. If your not your still funny. Win mobile "bringing your piece of junk Microsoft software with you is now even easier"

I think this guy is wrong - as much as I like my iPhone I think the TRUE product of the DECADE is the iPod. With out the iPod there is no iPhone, no iTunes Music Store, no TV, no Apple stores, and, arguably, no Apple.

The iPod is CLEARLY the product of the decade! Long live the iPhone!

@Will - I am assuming you are new here... Zune Tang has been around a long time delighting us with Ballmerian insight.

No Spudly, you're wrong, here's why.

'The product of the 20th century was the transistor.' Without it there would have been no computers as we know them. True, but...

Just because the iPod came first does not mean it is more important than what came later.

Somebody put Zune Tang back in his cage!

@British Mac Head

Well stated! ZT is voicing his opinions from his rear!

As fond as I am of my iPhone, I still like my Macs a lot more.

MDN (and Mark Kellner), you said it. The iPhone has really changed everything for my daily life. I had been dreaming of something like it for a decade, but even I didn't expect all the changes that came with actually having something like this--especially with the apps from the app store.

Kudos, Apple: you changed my life in 1984 with the original Mac (which I still have), and again in 2007. That's a pretty remarkable accomplishment!

You newbies don't know that ZT id a true Mac guy with AppleJ for blood. He just likes to wind us up so that we get all hot. That is his mission - to keep Apple fans on the boil and revving up the world with our Apple evangelism. The less vocal we are being in our Appleness, the more ridiculous the assertions he will make.

Keep up the good work ZT. You came back today and AAPL is up $4.60 and climbing.

Good job.

@wiredzen

thanks for the heads up. Just here to rock the boat is he. I do have to say the name is catchy. Zune tang clan, iPod squad. We need an iPod squad to battle zune tang!

Your (and T-Mobile's) loss.
