How many teenagers have an iphone?

Why would anyone get a phone just for of Facebook and/or MySpace? Unless there are people that wanted to check their FB and MS constantly...
30 a month for what services (i.e. unlimited texting/calling)? i'm 16 and i have verizon, but i'm just curious.
I'm 19 (for a couple more months), and use my phone to be able to quickly respond to requests and issues brought up by clients of the consulting business I own/run.
I suppose I do also use social networking sites, but that's generally because one of the things I do for clients is managing an online presence (which can include social networking).

Nice.
Almost sounds like bragging, which is bad enough, but the "i really don't care bit" is the cake-topper.
Gotta love this example of today's youth...
I don't have one. I'm not eligible for an upgrade and my parents don't want to pay the 80 bucks a month or whatever it is for that plan, but then again we could just add unlimited data to the family plan for however much that is, but my parent's don't feel like spending $360 a year just to have internet on a phone, but I don't blame them.
I'm content now with my half decent Samsung Slm and iPod Touch

why don't you care? The fact that your mom pays $160 a month for you to to not care is funny to me.
I'm 19 and got a 3G a few months ago. I payed for the phone and pay the monthly bill myself. I use almost every feature on the phone so I don't feel like it's a waste of money.
LOL .... apparently the young kids thing when they turn 18 they're no longer teenages.
You're not 20 years old yet son.

He's still a teen, tho, but you're right.

cause he doesn't realize that almost $2,000 dollars a year just for a phone is a lot of money. The kid who said that should be great-full. The fact that he "just doesn't care" makes him somewhat snobbish, I would be kissing my parents feet if they paid for my phone's plan.
I'm 14 (almost 15) and i have one. I'm not spoiled, i pay for pretty much all my technology and i'm a huge techy geek (as you can tell by the website)
So i mean don't call all the teen's that have one spoiled, some of us actually have earned ours in some way

They're not saying you are, they just don't understand why we need such an expensive phone with such an expensive plan, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I highly doubt you're spending $2,000 a month from your own cash on that phone, and if you are, I would start saving for a car, you're going to be 16 next year bud, and you're going to be dieing for a car, not an iPhone 10th gen (highly exaggerated) or whatever it will be by then
Teen with iPhone's
I'm 16 years old. I own and have paid for both my first generation $600 iPhone, and $300 White iPhone 3G. I bought the original iPhone back when I was 14 on the date of release. I'm a Mac fan and own several of my own Macintosh
computers and other devices. Computers are my life, and truly are the way of the present and future. Hence my interest and goal to go to MIT or Rochester Institute of Technology to become a Computer and Electrical Engineer. It's also a goal of mine to find a job at Apple in California or wherever that experience will take me, designing and building the next generation of devices we are discussing actively and daily here.
My financial situation I work out with my mom, who has corporate discounts with AT&T and it works nicely on a family plan for me to have to pay just about $30 a month for myself for absolutely unlimited everything (data, texting, etc.).
I see myself as not the typical teenager, although I do take part in performing jackass stunts and riding off-road vehicles, I take care of my responsibilities and have a very active school & social life. It's rare for me to disclose my age on forum's such as this one because I feel as though I loose lots of credibility when posting my teen-age, most of the time I'm sure people are oblivious to my age. People don't take my answers to their questions seriously, when often times I can be the most credible reply to their specific question. That's why this is probably the second and possibly third time I have ever disclosed my age here at MacRumor's.

I feel the exact same way. I wish some Adults, could see some of the teenagers, like you and I, especially you. Yes, many of teenagers are irresponsible, and somewhat of any annoyance. However, everybody was that way at one point. There are actually many of out there who are insightful and are interested in what is going on around us. I'm in the same boat you man.
It's just the way it is unfortunately. Don't get me wrong though. When I'm older and may still be posting on these forum's, I will probably think of a teen as less qualified in matters such as giving advise. I can see where other are coming from when trusting teens...
