God help me

My girlfriend got an iPhone, due to arrive on Tuesday. It will be our first ever Apple product in our household.

God help me stay strong and not fall for it during my wait for Pre Plus. Amen.

Whats wrong with the iPhone? I'm not mac groupie and I think its an excellent phone, certianly the best I've used (yes, I've tried the droid out).

Clearly nothing is wrong with it. Millions can attest to that.

However, I just don't like the overall mass obsession over them and being a Palm Pre fan, I am afraid to get dragged into the iPhone-mania as well while waiting for the GSM unlocked version to become available in Canada... that could still be months away...

Dont be such a fruitcake, get the iphone, you'll love it, end of.

Well except for the fact that screens have stopped working, the vibrate switches have broken off, and all the other problems people have had with them. Just check google for that.

P.S. Both of those happened to me, and I took very good care of mine. Good phone, while it lasts. Thats all I'll say.

Ha, that's funny.

Don't get me wrong, I played with an iPhone before. I found the onscreen keyboard just horrible to type on (I am a traditional kind of person, I like physical keyboard when I know what I press on), multitasking, contacts synergy, Gmail integration, and an accordian-style look and feel to the calendar to die for! I am trying to get a work gadget (manage time, contacts and emails on the go), not an entertainment one, so I really do not care for all the "fart" apps iPhone offers.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I find the WiFi hotspot feature absolutely awesome (extend high speed Internet access for up to 5 mobile devices). Does iPhone have similar functionality?

I wasn't aware of those issues. I never owned a smart phone (never really felt the need until this year).

I think you'd have trouble finding ANY product that doesn't eventually incur a fault...

What screen issue did you have?

You can find horror stories about any device. If you are shelling out 300 dollars for a device, get a warranty.

I have broken up with a lot of girls because they use/support Apple.
