I love these types of threads
I am probably a typical mac user who actually knows very little, but enjoys all the rumors and gossip. So, about once a week I read macrumors, and some of the threads. I like them, skip the ones that are boring, scan others, and read the most interesting ones.
This one caught my eye because when the iphone first came out, with all the lines and madness, I seriously thought about getting one. In the end of that hoopla, about a month or so after the first release, I decided to wait between 3-5 years to get one. I wanted an iphone with more storage capability (80gigs), and ideally a slightly bigger screen, and faster. It has been a painful wait, watching everybody have so much fun, but I have stuck to my decision. I am a verizon user, and will switch the day the iphone is legally available on verizon. If after next year it looks as if the iphone will not be available on verizon, then I might switch anyway in early 2011, just to try it out for a year or two.
