Poll: Are you, or anyone you know, planning on getting an iPhone?

[Khadaji]

I am not planning to buy one and know no one who has mentioned that he would. (I may know people who will, but I’m not aware of it.)

[Otto]

1. No. I have no need for a mobile phone.
2. No. I have no need for a mobile phone.
3. No.

[mhendo]

No. Mainly because i don’t need a mobile phone, but even if i were in the market for an expensive, multi-function phone, i’d go for a Blackberry or something similar.

Doubtful, for the same reasons as above.

I don’t know anyone planning to get one, and my circle of friends includes quite a few committed Mac users. Most of them think that it’s way too expensive for what you get.

I’m just waiting until they release this.

[Tuckerfan]

A) No.
B) Depends upon the plans, if they have a pre-paid one, I will.
C) He denies it, but he’s a Mac geek and drools over video of the phone, so he’ll be getting one.

[Polerius]

Out of 24 replies, we have

a) 2 respondents who are planning on getting one now
b) 5 who will very likely get one later on
c) 10 people that the respondents know and who are planning on getting one now.

Of course this is not a scientific survey, but it seems like this product is going to be a big success.

I can’t think of many other products out there where 24 respondents will report a total of 10 people they know who are planning on buying one.

In addition, out of 24 respondents, 7 are planning on buying one now or later on. Again, not sure I can think of many products where we can get such poll results.

Time to buy Apple stock

1. No
2. Maybe in 2 years, I’m with T-Mobile so I’d have to wait for my contract to end and see it is worth switching. But by then probably not.
3. No

According to one survey 2 out of 3 people had heard of the iPhone. Bet no other phone can say that.

@EJsGirl

Our company will probably buy them for us, if not right away then in a couple of months when the furor starts to die down.

Where do you work, and how can I get a job there?

a. No
b. Yes, a couple years down the road (and I’ll be salivating every single day of them)
c. Yes

[Tony_Montana]

a) 1000 clams? I don’t think so.Im happy with my huge “Miami Vice” era phone.

b)maybe

c)no

[Dunderman]

No, no, no, but I’m as far away from the intended audience as you can be without being Sentinelese.

[chaoticbear]

No.
Yes, but they’ll have to go down in price and have a better camera.
No, because they’re so expensive

[SpartanDC]

1. No.

2. Yes, once it a) gets 3G and b) my t-mobile contract or my willpower expires, whichever comes first. After seeing the altogether reasonable plan prices, my willpower isn’t doing so well.

3. I have a friend who’s an early-adopter type who I’m sure will get one.

[control-z]

A. No, I’m a cheap bastard and won’t be paying $500 for a phone, even if it does have a MP3 player and touch screen and camera and bottle opener and corkscrew. (I made those last 2 up.) Plus I’m not interested in a $40+ a month cell phone bill.

B. I may buy a future version of something like that, I see the iPhone paving the way for more, better, and cheaper touch screen devices.

C. Don’t know anyone who’s buying one.

[slaphead]

@black rabbit

b) I want a phone. A teeny, tiny phone, that gets good reception and battery life, and is the size of a Zippo lighter. Or smaller. Teeny. Tiny. A two line screen. SMS. Possibly an MP3 player. But it must be teeny. And tiny.

I’d pay good money for a Nokia 8210 updated with modern battery technology, tri-band and bluetooth.
And like a lot of other people, I’m watching the iPhone with interest and might consider picking one up if the European version is bug-free and either a lot cheaper or more feature-loaded.

[vetbridge]

No
No
No

[Trunk]

No
No
That’s not a topic of discussion that would ever come up in my day to day life.

[N9IWP]

a) No, there is neither an Apple Store nor an AT&T store within 50 miles
b) Probably not - I don’t have the need for one and not much of a want for one
c) see a

@Polerius

a) Are you planning on buying an iPhone when it comes out?

Nope.

@Polerius

b) If the answer to (a) is no, are you planning on buying a future version of it?

Probably. I’ll wait 'til the initial bugs and kinks are worked out. I love my Treo, even though it’s getting a little long in the tooth, and the iPhone has a lot to live up to for me. Has anyone heard whether it’s got AGPS?

@Polerius

c) Do you know people who are planning on buying an iPhone when it comes out?

At least one of my coworkers, and probably several of them.

[Polerius]

@Lightnin'

Has anyone heard whether it’s got AGPS?

AFAIK, it doesn’t.

[Hodge]

No, no, no.

Way too expensive, way too big, with way too many superfluous functions. I don’t need a media player, camera, portable game console, etc. I need a fucking PHONE.

I need good reception, decent size and long battery life. It would also be nice if it could survive a 10’ drop onto a bare concrete floor (yes, I’ve done this twice. Occupational hazard). Plus I don’t know about anybody else, but i LIKE buttons. Screw touch-screens, I want tactile feedback dammit!
