Let me start with a controversial decision: While I will be happy to test the iPhone when it comes out, it's not very likely that I'll end up buying one.
Why?
Well first of all, it is exclusive to Cingular (soon to be rebranded AT&T all over again ), and that company doesn't rate so high when it comes to service quality and support. Yes I know they claim to have the fewest dropped calls, but there are questions just how that survey was conducted. In fact Verizon Wireless rates best, such as it is, but they're not getting the iPhone anytime soon or ever.
Second, I use my wireless phone for making and receiving phone calls, and not much more. I've played with Palm handhelds over the years, and, even assuming a superb interface on the iPhone, I don't know that I want to touch onto a tiny touch screen when I can speak a lot faster.
Well, I suppose there is the fact that I can check my email.
In any case, forget what I have to say.
I'm more interested here in what YOU have to say!
