Are you all gonna get the new iPhone?

I was wandering what it will look like, who's getting it.
Just a simple poll.
Do you mean you are wondering what the new iPhone looks like?
I'm confused
Either way, I've voted a big YES, I held off on version 1 (mostly due to being stuck on a contract for another 9 months).
I don't have a single realistic complaint about the iPhone 3G.
I'll stick with v1 until it dies. Unless Vodafone offers some decently priced plans. But that most likely wont happen as I refuse to spend more then $50/month on a phone plan.
I not blown away by the new one, but I think I will get it anyway because it's more affordable - assuming corporate discounts will be in effect.

I meant sales numbers haha.. how many will go get it. I hear a lot of b**hy people about it.
wahhhh I cant make it do soemthing it is not supposed to.... my gosh.
I'm sticking with my 1G for now. I was all ready to buy it, especially at $199/$299 but the potential plan pricing killed it.
I know that it will be close to the cost of a 1G iPhone when all is said and done, and truth be told, if FAN discounts apply then it will only cost $1 or $2 more a month for me to switch (monthly) then I might do it.
But still, based on principle alone, I don't want to support wireless companies price premiums by paying >$70/month for wireless service. Heck, I didnt want to pay the $60 for iPhone 1G but it is such a great product. Besides, shouldn't prices be coming down? I paid LESS for wireless service monthly 4 years ago in college...with no data plan I'll admit, but come ON 25c for 1 txt message?....and charge BOTH ways, incoming used to be FREE! (And don't give me the network congestion stuff, its still 1/100th the bandwidth of voice. Which is why you can send a txt at midnight on New Years no problem but can't make a call) Anyways, its their right to make profit by raising prices, and its my right to say no. Which is what I'm doing.
If they offered a voice plan of 300minutes + data & 200txt for $50 I'd reconsider. Heck, several of my friends with smartphones (tilt, etc) talk their way into getting the $20 mediamax plan, why should I pay a $10 premium? (yes, I already know about Sprint SERO)
