how do u get 9 home screens?

Right now the only way is by adding extra websites as bookmarks on the homepage. Once the first page can no longer hold any more buttons additional pages are added(up to 9) to accomodate additional buttons and soon enough the newer 3rd party apps that will soon be added. Also make sure the iPhone software has been upgraded.
 
I knew the iPhone would bomb. It doesn't phase me at all. Apple is trying too hard, trying to consume the wireless industry.

Stick to Verizon Wireless. I pay $70 per month, for 900 minutes and unlimited texts. If you don't care about wireless phoning, then stick with Vonage for home use. You pay $24.99 per month and you only get charged $.01 per minute for long-distance, even international, calls.

Got my iPhone activated with NO deposit. My only gripe is no instant msg. Coming from a sidekick it's a huge loss cause I LOVE texting and instant msg but the rest of the phone makes up for that loss. Hands down the greatest phone ever. Hoping in Feb when the phone is fully unlocked to third party developers AIM, and MSN, get added. Otherwise, no gripes!

Also BUMP for the availability, of 9 home screens, and the option to send your favorite webpages including this one to the home screen as a bookmark. Overall the recent upgrade was pretty SWEET!

I've always been interested in getting a T-Mobile Sidekick.
 
Well, I've had mine for about 8 days now and I can tell you, it's the best device I have ever owned! I can't put the fvcker down. The only downside, that Ive noticed is not-so-great battery life and AT&T won't let you buy insurance for it(!!!).
My lady got a Blackberry Curve which is touted as being the "iPhone killer." It's not. Not even close.

Because it's the 'next best thing.' Everybody hears the hype, sees the advertisements, then they all wanna get their hands on it.

I've just heard nothing, but negative reviews about the iPhone. It definitely caught my interest when everybody else was anticipating its release, but then I heard so many horrible things about it, so I decided to pass on getting one.
 
I can't imagine what negative things you've heard about the phone. Can the volume on the ringer/speakerphone be better? Yes. Can the battery life be better? Yes. But these are all small things. I think the majority of the negativity has more to do w/AT&T than the device.

Possibly because I've always heard negative reviews about AT&T.

What's the usual cost of the device and the monthly payments like? What kinds of plans do they offer?
 
Well, I'm not an AT&T fanboy but I believe I pay ~70 bucks for early nights, unlimited data and around 250 mins. NOT the best rates out there by any means but I happened to be able to get 1 phone for around $200 so I figured why the hell not. I had Nextel previous to this and it was TERRIBLE for my area.

Where do you read your reviews?

Rather, why don't you tell me what you see to be the negative aspects of the phone. Not to be a ****, it just seems you don't know much about it.

Btw, I've seen the fair majority of reviews being positive, if not at times over exaggerating. Not many 'horrible' reviews to be seen though.

I don't know much about it. I never said that I did either. I'm just going by what I've heard people say and what I've seen people write, that's all.

I'd surely like some input from those who have the iPhone.
 
Most people who give negative reviews are too inept to use it properly, I find. Don't you think it's weird giving your opinion on something you've never owned/used/operated?
 
The battery life on this phone could be better but if any of you have ever used any other pda's or larger screen mobile device, I'd say it's fair. The battery life only gets bleed dry if i watch too many videos. Otherwise this is the greatest mobile device ever. 4 million phones sold in just 6 months is incredible. I hate jumping on the bandwagon too but this phone surpasses it's hype man. Hit up an Apple store and check it out.

I've just given into the hype so many times over different trends, which ended up being a waste of time and money. I've heard more negative reviews about the iPhone, than good reviews, but I could still go into an Apple store with an unbiased attitude and come to my own conclusion about it.
