Anyone pickup the new 3G iphone yet

Just sick & tired of ATT tho, but I may have to suck it up and get one. Looks like it's going to take longer than expected before Verizon is available on it?

No, buying the phone with the best physical design, a good OS, and the most number of apps. I don't go around showing my phones to other people, so I could care less what they think. Besides, I'm a little unclear how something that can be purchased for only $99-299 could be regarded as an "image" product.

Anyways, how long before Verizon finally gets a GSM network so it can offer the iPhone?

You've stated in the past how a wristwatch is nothing but "image". Plenty of nice looking watches in that price range.

Considering that if you have a cellphone you already know what time it is, making a wristwatch redundant......So yes, I'd say a wristwatch is much more about image than a phone is. Especially when the top watches cost $20K or more. How many phones cost that much?

I can check the time on my expensive luxury watch much more discreetly than you can check the time on your billboard-sized iPhone.

Image, 'slice, admit it.

Two years ago it was an image product.

Now it is a "me too!" product for those that wanted the image but were too stingy two years ago.

Because anything that's popular is only popular because of the "me too" factor. I see.

My hunch is that most Apple criticism comes from people who ought to take a look in the mirror. Why? Because I'm betting the only reason they bash Apple so much is because it's THEY who care about image & attention, and are mad that their Motorola isn't giving them any. So they accuse iPhone owners of having the image problem. Basic reverse psychology.
