While there we're people standing in line and camping out-strange people- the next day there were no lines and people just walked in and bought one.
Personally, it's really a lot of hype and you're stuck with using ATT&T.

I LOVE technology, but the cell phone giants still can't get me decent cell phone connections, (at home, where I am, sometimes), 6 miles off the expressway an hour from Detroit, MI.

This overpriced, inadequate piece of "technology" seems to be designed for teenagers or those just out of that age range.
It's a sign of what has been called the "buy now, whatever it is" syndrome. Thus anything, for instance, Microsoft's ME OS, can be sold to non-critical consumers. To me, it's like standing in a line to buy a book. (Harry Potter?) Hell's bells, I won't stand in a line for anything (maybe medical service). Long ago I learned that waiting a few of days isn't going to hurt me. I really don't have to be the first on my block to own the latest idiocy on the market.
As for this latest toy: When it costs $9.99 and I don't have to obligate myself to any corporate colossus for longer than one day, then I might consider it. But probably not.

6: It looks like one-hand operation would be all but impossible. All the views in the ads show a hand holding it while another hand is scrolling, or it's simply floating in mid-air while doing the scrolling.

I'm sure that once you break that touch screen or it gets scratched to hell, protector or no protector, it will cost an arm and a leg to replace the screen.

How about reasons number 4 and 5...

4: It's amazingly expensive. The difference in price between it and a Blackberry or Palm device is enough to pay for that extra data plan for a year.

5: Forgetting that AT&T has one of the worst levels of high speed data coverage (compared to Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint), even if you're in an area where their high speed service is available, the iPhone can't use it. So it displays web pages really well, but downloads them really slow.

I totally agree about using your phone to connect to the Internet. My first plan (Verizon) allowed that. My second plan (Cingular/ATT) makes it much more expensive. I end up borrowing a Sprint card for my laptop when I travel. This just seems wrong.
