QotD: On The iPhone...

Over a million iPhones have been sold.  Have you: bought one, considered it, or decided it's not for you?

I'm still undecided on whether I'm interested in an iPhone or not. At the moment, my music player is still the second generation iPod, with 10GB of disk space, that I bought over five years ago, and while it's no longer exactly huge, I'm quite fond of its physical buttons, heft and shape. (Is it just me that finds new iPods to seem rather too thin?)

On the other hand, I've never really been taken with any of the phones I've owned since the T610, way back when. If I'd timed the upgrade to hit the K750 or N73 when they were new, it might have been a different story, but I didn't. I'm currently wavering between upgrading to a K850 - I hate cameras without rotation sensors, so that is a nice feature - or just going down to PAYG on the Nokia 6230 I'm still borrowing from candace.

Of course, the iPhone is a third option, but to be honest, I'm waiting for 3G (just like half of Europe, perhaps), and I'd love to see how useful the promised API is before I get one with the idea that I'd hack on it. I'm also not yet sure if there's room for a device like the iPhone, or iPod touch or N810, in my life. I'm on my laptop at home or desktop at work so much of the time, do I really need mobile data? I'm sure once I have it I'll find it impossible to do without, just as it's now inconceivable to be without a mobile phone at all, so maybe putting off that day is a good idea.

So, to answer the QotD: I'm considering the iPhone, but I'm good at procrastinating, so I haven't really decided either way yet.
