It’s coming up on a year since the iPhone was released, and the second version appears to be just around the corner. So it’s a good time to check in with our readers and see just how many of you actually use the device.
Please take a second and let us know where you stand.





I have one, and I use it to acces my projects and tasks from Gtdagenda.com
as with all apple products - always wait for the 2nd version.
I just visited Manhattan and there were several small electronic stores advertising unlocked iPhones, probably for international tourists who can’t get it in their country.
iphone stomps blackberry!!! there are no phones even close to an iphone in the cell phone market today, at least in the US
I am waiting for the second version…
June is close
I have an iPhone
Everybody else is just jealous
Damn envy
I have an unlocked iPhone here in Canada, I have to admit I’m not a fan. It’s a great toy but not a great everyday phone. The touch screen is not my preference, I get frustrated using the keyboard (is there a hack out there to use the keyboard widescreen while typing in emails? That would help..).
It does seem like more of a chick phone if I’m being honest, but then when I let women use it they complain that they have to type funny because of their well manicured nails, no woman I know is giving up their nails for a phone!
I’m a web designer, still having no flash really sucks. I would have waited for the 3g with flash (and possibly GPS?) if I had known I was buying the iPhone ‘beta’.
The potential for this phone is amazing, as it is now.. I should have passed.
Checking in from Bogota, Colombia on my iPhone. Lots of people have jailbroken and unlockediPhones here. I wonder… Who the heck is going to buy an iPhone when it comes here officially? I mean whomever wants one and can afford it already has it! I guess only those that consider 3G important will pay for the new version
I hope to get an iphone soon need one cause all webmasters do
I’ll purchase an i-phone after I purchase a fur coat for a summer in Miami
maximo: since I’m single, maybe if I get an iphone I’ll get the girl too.
The 3G iPhone will be hard to resist… but I will still wait for Android next Xmas

I’ve got one, but after 2 weeks I gave it to my wife and come back to my WM6 phone. iPhone is beatiful with touching and effect, it is fun to play with. But it is bad as a phone, not good as web browser (compare to my laptop) - could not display flash, bad as PIM. It may good at music, but I dont listen to music so much on the go. So I decided not to keep it just for watching beatifull whether forcast.
this survey should have an option: did you buy and iPhone and return it or stop using it for phone purposes? i would have selected that option and my guess is many others would have..
4th answer: No, I’m waiting for it to be available here. (Poland)
Yes, I had iPhone lust. Yes, I have come very close to “just do it”. I didn’t. I’m glad. I bought a new MBP instead, and am relearning to use more of the capabilities of the mobile I already have *:-) I feel good about this *:-)
Windows Mobile should be an option.. I still think it has more flexibility..
Hey guys,
I love my blackberry curve (8310) with GPS, email, facebook, pacman, and all my other apps.
RIM have 2 new blackberries coming out soon, The blackberry “Bold” (9000), it looks great, it has wi-fi and video recording and more great features and the New blackberry “Thunder” (9500) the blackberry touch phone. I don’t know much details on it, but it looks kinda like the “iphone”, which I’m not a fan of.
And the “iphone” isn’t available in Australia.
I am a proud owner of the overpriced toy jesus phone. And I’m avoiding AT&T; unlocking is really very simple. It is an awesome thing.
You forget, not all your readers are in the USA. I’m in a country (Canada) where the iPhone hasn’t yet been released. So, I answer None Of The Above. I don’t have the Jesus phone, but it’s not because I’m waiting for the second model and it’s not because I think it’s an overpriced towy.
how about “No they don’t sell em in effin Canada yet”
I am very inclined to think that a large majority of people saying they had an iPhone actually don’t. It’s popular but not that popular. Even out here. There wasn’t an option for “I don’t have one because I can’t afford it/it’s not available in my country but I really really really want one.” I have no doubt people thinking along that line choose to instead claim that they did have the device. Apple enthusiasts will do anything to make Apple look good.
btw. Please don’t start posting more iphone related pieces because of this unofficial little poll!! I like that techcrunch covers a wide variety of topics. Keep it up.
Hey, I’d like one. Not a hope in hell of me ever paying anywhere near the price they expect you to though. I mean, the (minimum) monthly rate alone is well out of what I consider my affordable range.
As I see it - wait a while and they’ll release a better one, cheaper. Besides, based on its success I’d be surprised if the next generation of phones in general don’t start to copy many of the iPhones ideas.
I have one. It’s great. After a Samsung I300 palm phone, a Treo 600, and a Treo 650 over the course of several years, I was sick of having my face hang up the phone by touching the touch screen, problems with 3-way calling, and several other problems that never got addressed.
The nice thing was not losing my contacts between phones. Still have that in the iPhone.
It’s going to be big. Lots bigger. Because there will be a complete ecosystem. It’s got cool hardware and a great dev environment and no having to pay $35 for some lame mail client because the built-in one sucks horribly. No other platform had a trustworthy single place to buy software from at reasonable prices. You guys will see. The iPhone is going to be huge.
Kind of a skewed survey don’t you think. Then again I guess most surveys are that way.
My answer would be this: No, I don’t own an iPhone and don’t care to own one any time in the foreseeable future. I do own a Blackberry and it serves my needs just fine thanks… even without the BB I doubt I’d want the iPhone. Nice in it’s own way, just not for me.
Yes, Ofcourse how can someone live without iphone i do have one. It’s the thing of today. iphone rocks, wait till the 3G version comes in June 2008.
