People at work always ask me about it when they see it. I figure its easier to let them mess around with it than me telling them why I like it so much. Everyone has their own opinions on it, but the most common thing I hear is "wow the screen is so easy to read and sharp."
Got a tip for us?

Lots of people have asked me about it, and a few have asked to hold it, try it out, etc.
I haven't refused anyone. After all, it's just a phone.

I've had that with a 3G...
People were coming to me and wanted to have a look. But it was only an Incipio case and Winterboard. Some people are weird. Yes, my iPhone has a wallpaper and I have five apps in a row. Wow, it's magic and a revolution - it's called 'jailbreak'.

I never let anyone toutch my iPhone and it's been that way through all of my iPhones. But I gate when they see it and then there like how do u have a walpaper oh u can do that know. And when they go my phone is better and I explain why mine is and they don't understand the technical mumbo jumbo. Ahhhhh the life of a iPhone user
I know that app doesn't exist, but it's pretty sad that I still tried to look it upTry the 9.0 Richter Scale App - guarantee to send her to heaven
I let my friend hold it to watch a youtube video the other day since her 3G barely runs since she installed 4.0 and I was nervous the whole time. She was holding it with 2 fingers over pavement.
Thank you!
It's just a phone..some people are way too OCD about this. When a phone starts controlling your life and actions, you really have issues.
I've had random people off the street ask how much i paid for it! The they asked to hold it , Hell No!
I used to get a bit anxious when others ask to see it, however I fully know the brilliance the iPhone exudes. Its like getting mad when a guy checks out your GF's rear-end. If I was impressed, why should others not feel the same way?

Purchase it with an Amex card and you can stay worry free for 90 days. After that they will have seen it all and you'll be unpopular again.

It's funny, because I'm actually very OCD about a lot of things... grammar, spelling, iTunes tags, etc, but not material things.
You should have seen my old iPhone. It was beat to hell!
I got it all over with by just handing it over to my friends, let them get over it. This was over a dinner in the city so all my mates were there. Done and dusted.
It's a phone with a value of $600. If it was a Rolex I could understand, but if your friends are worth less than a phone to you then there are other more serious problems for you to attend to.
Why would someone want to hold a Rolex that is most likely on your wrist?
600 is still quite a bit! A Movado would fetch for that and I would rather have one of those; Rolex is boring. My friends break everything, so they don't get they're hands on jack sh**.
I will say I was a freak with my iPhone 4 at first. I mean I had it naked and it was like the first week and I didn't want it scratched. However, once I put a rubber case around it (the ones they sell at the little kiosk in the mall) I could care less who touches it or what surface it's on.
Someone asked me if they could see my "iThing" because it was small and cute So i asked him for dinner and a movie first.

iPhones are no longer unique, or special here in California.
Quite honestly they're just your average phone.
However when someone notices I'm carrying one of my Android phones, such as my Droid X, it gets a lot of attention.
