To me they are a waste of money. I have a phone that works great and an mp3 player. No need to spend that much at this point in time for something that has the "I-whatever" name on it, to do both.

it is like a small computer that can view the actual web pages, not a piece of crap like most other phones that has a watered down internet

If ipods are over priced then why do so many people have them.....?

People that are pissed off about it being to expensive are pissed because they want one but cant afford it.

What other phone can you watch widescreen videos, play music like the ipod, connect to the internet with wifi, and has a real touch screen unlike the palm treo?

pocket pc 6700, helio ocean, cinguliar, 8525 tmobile dash, there is like 20 other phones I can't think off the top of my head right now that do all that you said above. I hate to break it to you, but the iphone is not the end all phone. it does everything alot of other phones have been doing for over the last year.
read the reviews, the helio ocean has been praised over the iphone for its awsome contact list/im/email integration.

The I-Phone has some pretty clever technology!
But after owning a PPC-6700, The touchscreen thing is ghey in my opinion.
Hard to navigate and will be difficult to use when you are driving. When I first got my PPC I could not drive and dial a number on a touch screen.
I think the technology and GUI is great in the I-Phone, but as for sending text messages and browsing the net, Missed me with that ****!

Now if phones came out with pulse touch on the screen like alpine has on their head units then that could all change.

I have a Moto Q right now, it is pretty much the same thing as the blackjack.
I love it!

BTW: I have a PPC-6700 for sale if anyone is interested.
