I bought my dad the iPhone for his birthday and he loves it. It must be pretty freaking user friendly because he's not exactly tech savvy and he hasn't bothered me once about a question on how to use it. As for me, I currently have the Palm Treo 680 and I want the RAZR2 before I get an iPhone because it has just as nice of features and I've never had a "flip" phone before, believe it or not. Also, I prefer to wait until Apple comes out with a newer version of the iPhone before I get one for myself as Apple has a longstanding history of making vast improvements with the versions they release of products and I hate buyer's remorse.
On another note...
Quit the name calling and crap unless you have some kind of solid proof that Allstar doesn't own the phone (which would be pretty hard to get considering this is the internet) you might as well assume he's not a liar and move on with life for your own peace of mind.
I don't exactly find Allstar to be the most charming of individuals to say the least, but I've never doubted his many claims of owning many gadgets -- so I wouldn't find it odd that he has an iPhone as well... and I will continue to do so unless someone posts a photo of him using a Nokia (or whatever other phone...).
And also, seeing as how I started school back today (granted I'm in law school) I don't find it odd for him to be in school already as well. Different areas of the country start at different times... if you knew anyone outside of the Jersey area (which I hope you do... that place stinks!), you'd surely know that. Good grief... I can't believe I got Allstar's back on this one...
