You guys are totally missing his point. He's asking if the reason you bought an iPhone vs what it's use for now. I bought an iPhone because it's a phone and an iPod. I was like cool if I buy this I wouldn't have to carry an mp3 player and a phone around. I can kill two birds with one stone. Now guess what. I don't even use my iPhone for music. So yea my iPhone is turning into a regular phone. I have a few apps. But I don't spend any considerable amount of time on it. The only thing I hate about my phone is that "everyone has one" and these people don't even know how to use them. For some reason I feel like if you own an iPhone or mac and you don't know who steve jobs is then you're just a....
 
More like just a mobile internet and messaging device. I've never been the type of person that talks on the phone a lot..

Damn dawg, yous flippin' yo. Peace
 
short answer: NO!

i use it more for apps than i do as a phone... and i don't play music on it either (although i do have a few songs loaded)

so for me it's an apps/internet tool! (and coudln't have come at a more perfect time as they really hit us hard with blocking sites at work right after i got it! i'm lucky i can still get here!!!!)
 
I think that someday, Apple will no longer call it an iPhone. The phone feature will only be like 1/100th of what the phone is really capable of.

Imagine an iPhone powerful enough to where you come home with it and simply hook it up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and it functions as a computer complete with gaming, web browsing, video editing.. the works.
 
When I got the 3Gs and it was jailbroken yet it was just a cell phone so I reverted back to my jailbroken 3G.
Once the 3Gs was jailbroken, it became a toy, movie machine, handheld game console, and most of all I was able to customize my dock, status bar, enjoy irealsms and many other things. Once Jailbroken it became MYphone not steve jobs vision of the iclone which locks down nearly everything.
