DISQUS

Louis it's a great device and I think you'll like it. But the firmware is very young and the 3G issues are very real. I don't think it's clear yet if it's the phone, the network, or a combination of both. It'll be interesting how it shakes out (and also to hear how you like the phone.)

This is why Apple is Apple! They know how to bypass all the neurons and go talk to our monkey/emotional brain! I would be good to get a review in a couple of weeks of how you like it. Personally, the idea of giving an additional $10 a month to ATT is overshadowing all the Apple goodness. Have a good week end!

Ha!

I am so glad that someone else is out there (had) the same issue. I love the innovation that comes out of Apple, but I am taking a step back on this one.

Having spent the last couple of years being a mobility architect I truly appreciate devices for what they are. What I want from a device is one that I can type fast, actually work as a phone and tracks my contacts and calendars.

To a certain extent I want my phone to be boring. That's right, working so well that it's just mundane. That it just works as it should and keeps me connected.

For all its sexiness, I can't be certain of that it will do that. Being off the air is not a trade off I am willing to make.

Hence the hesitation. Now does this mean I can no longer be called an early adopter? :(

You sure don't make it _sound_ like it feels right. But anyway, have fun with it. I know I'll never own one.
