When will the iPhone lose the "newness" factor?

Thanks, but when you are holding your phone in your hand and thinking that, you usually are only holding one...
Thanks
Have owned both the iPhone EDGE and iPhone 3G from day 1, if your trying to infer that I'm some sort of newbie to the platform as quite a number of people on here are.
Must be because of all the things I'm involved with through day to day life that makes my iPhone, my number one essential tool.
LOL.
But, I have an OT question, sorry: has does one go about obtaining multiple iPhones? I know once your 18 months are up, you can get a new phone at the subsidized price. This would explain why people may have an EDGE and a 3G, but how do you get the extra. Do you have to go and buy the other one at an unsubsidzed price? So, if a new phone came out in 6/09 and my contract doesn't end until 6/10, I would have to buy the new iPhone at the unsubsidzed price? And how much is this (currently, for a 3G)?
I wasn't inferring that at all. I was just asking an innocent question that I really wanted to know.

The 3G iPhone I have is the current phone I'm using on my AT&T contract. Then I have a 1st gen 4GB iPhone (refurbished from Apple) that I use as a "backup" phone unlocked with an AT&T Go-Phone SIM in it. The 3rd iPhone I have is a 1st Gen 8GB iPhone I bought on eBay that I didn't particularly care for (the quality). I'm currently trying to get rid of the 8GB, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still in my possession. Also, I still love my iPod touch... it's been so good to me and it has way better wifi reception than the 1st gen iPhone.
Ok fair point. I Apologize.
As I said, must just be my uses for it I suppose. For me if I went back to say my old Sony Ericsson, I would actually be completely lost!!! The only advantage that thing had was the battery would actually work for an entire week on one charge, with really heavy use!!!
I'm still having fun with it. I have two iPhones white 16GB and a black 8GB. I alternate using them but I think I prefer the black one.
I can't imagine using another phone as long as I've been using the iPhone.

Personally, the palm pre doesn't appeal to me, I don't really think it's the best of the best out there. And in my opinion the iPhone was, and when the pre was released, no doubt it caught my attention, but it just doesn't appeal to me as the iPhone does.
I would love the option to have nothing but the wallpaper show on the lock screen (obviously with the lock slider also on the bottom)- no clock or date... or a home screen with just the bottom dock icons. i think they have that right with the palm pre. All I have is an iphone with ifart. Does anyone have an itums?

Correctamudo!! Since you can virtually make this phone anything you want it to be, it can always be "something new" even to you.
However there are some who would disagree. "Palm Pre puts iPhone to shame" But every body has a right to have their own opinion, even if it's the wrong one.
