Yep....I used to be a Mac hater as well..
Always used pcs....but in 2007 i got an iPod touch.
Then i got the second gen touch.
Then I got a iPhone 3G.
Then i got a mac mini.
Then i got an iPhone 3GS.
Then i got s second mac mini.
Then i got an iPad.
Now im probably going to get the new mac mini, and i have iPhone 4 reserved.
Also looking into a mbp sometime in a month or so too.,.
..so, yeah..id say apple products are like drugs!
After having the BEST customer service experience along with the best os in the world...I am a fan for life.
Less than a week of owning my iPad..it slid off of my bed and got a chip in the glass on the corner of the screen.
I didn't have apple care (they don't even cover the glass with apple care anyways) but figured i would go in and see what my options were and find out the price for replacement glass.
Long story short...they gave me a brand new iPad 32gb! Apple rocks!

Yep - this is my first one.
Finished 18 month contract around March. Have been using Wondows Mobile fpr last few years. Only reason i didn't hold out at teh time for iphone 3g was that i was a windows man and although it interested me, certain applications weren't available on iPhone...and then the app store happened.
as of just a year ago, switched completely over to Mac OSX at home. Rely on Mobileme a lot. iP4 seems like a very mature product with great technical innovations - looks like i'm joining the party at the perfect time

Know someone who is getting 2 new iPhone 4.
She always say "I have a Mac" but it's a PowerMac G4 400ghz. That doesn't quite count...
Wow, that's great. You probably should get Apple iPad case.
And probably look into Square Trade

Not my first but I will speak for my brother. It will be his first iPhone. Switching from Verizon to Att.
I had gotten a 3GS from someone I know, but then it got stolen. It didn't have service anyways (I'm on Sprint ATM), so I'm gonna call the iPhone 4 my first.
It didn't have service anyways (I'm on Sprint ATM), so I'm gonna call the iPhone 4 my first. me! i've wanted one since 2007, just didn't want to pay the higher bill. i have a FAN discount now that also applies to data, so it really won't cost me much more than i'm paying now. i've had an iPod touch and was so attached to the thing, until i knocked it off the bathroom counter and right into the toilet my wife gave me some cash for v-day to buy a new touch, but i decided to wait and get the new phone. i've waited this long, so i'm going to wait just a little bit longer (hopefully) to get the white 32GB

This will be my second iPhone, but my first one I am buying.
I had the original iPhone given to me as a hand me down in November 2008. I used it as my main phone until July 2009 when my data plan got cut. I already had an unlocked Nokia N82 I bought online in January 2008. I went back to it as a main phone last July and used the iPhone 2G as my internet tablet until I sold it two weeks ago. I just never liked the iPhone 1 as a main phone because the ringer was too soft and it had weaker reception than my Nokia. The iPhone 4 is my first real purchase of the iPhone and first phone I hope to get on a launch day. My first launch product since getting the Nintendo Wii. It is the perfect time to get a new phone because my Nokia's battery is practically dying on me and I can no longer open some apps.
This iPhone 4 will be my fourth Apple product. Bought a white 5th gen iPod (30GB) in Oct of 2005, a first gen iPod touch (8GB) in July of 2008, given the first gen iPhone (8GB) in Nov of 2008, and soon to be the black iPhone 4 (32GB) of June 2010. Got both the iPod touch and iPhone jailbroken within days I received them. I'm typing off my iPod touch right now. I won't go far to say I am an Apple fanboy, but I do highly respect their attention level to detail. The iPhone 4 could easily go down as my favorite cell phone/gadget of all-time! I'm born on 12/4, and 4 is one of my lucky numbers next to 22 (2+2=4). I need to get this one on launch. It is 2010, a new decade. Time to get a new gadget and begin this new era with a bang.

Long time mac user and this would be my first iPhone / multitouch device if I end up with one. I'm waiting until it comes out and its readily available before I purchase one, but at this point it looks like I will be waiting at least until the end of July. I currently have a flip phone that costs me very little on Verizon (great coverage - I spend a lot of time up in the woods of Maine) so I'm still 50/50 on the new iPhone. Its an incredible device with a very mediocre and expensive service contract.
This is my first iPhone finally decided to move to AT&T after seeing the service I get on my iPad is better than tmobile where I'm at
This will be my first iPhone. I've been a blackberry user for almost 6 years. iPhone just seems to do everything better, and in a nicer package. However, the huge demand and wait involved to get one of these phones is really shocking!
3rd for me, had the 2G, currently 3G, 3GS wasn't impressive enough to upgrade, and I don't need to be sending $600 on a new phone/iPod every year.
First iphone for me. I got a 1G touch when they first came out and have loved it ever since. The only thing keeping from getting an iphone was the lack of verizon coverage. I finally decided to cave in and switch to AT&T since it doesn't look like it will be on Verizon for at least another 2 years.
This will be my first iPhone. I held off because of mandatory AT&T service; submersion in Palm devices; recalling disappointment at Steve Jobs having killed my beloved Newton; and the belief that a later iPhone will sport improvements.
Yes, it's a gateway drug for sure.
You won't be a PC guy much longer :-x
Edit: 4th iPhone for me. Had the original iPhone at launch, the 3G at launch, and the 3GS at launch. Don't think I'll ever be able to use any other kind of phone ever again :-x
Yup my first as well. Been saving my pennies for a year and a half. Sadly couldnt pre-order cause Im waiting for the white one...if it ever happens!
This will be my second one. As of Thursday, my iPhone 8GB 3G phone will be PEACE OUT! 
My DH is an Apple hater and will stick with his crackberry
