Photos of first customer going into Palo Alto store…

They’re all smiles and giggles right now…but I wonder if the iPhone really lives up to all the hype. We’ll just have to wait and see if any sad faces emerge after a few weeks when all of the iPhone or iSteveJobs-mania dies down.

For my money…I’d rather have a Blackberry.

Currently, the price for iphone @ Ebay is $6000

Great coverage – seems like an excellent device! I will probably buy the Nokia N95 phone, though, for the video support. I guess you can’t videoblog from the iPhone?

I’ve been obsessively watching video coming in today (via other devices) from around the country:

Booo.. Unfortunately Apple didn’t let my order go through because I had it shipped to my work address (since there’s a signature required), and that doesn’t match my billing address. That’s a really dumb policy.

I think I’m going to cancel my order and go to the apple store tomorrow. I just called and she said they had some left, they close in 5 minutes, and there’s nobody in the store.

Hopefully there won’t be a line in the morning.

cheers… hope you are enjoying your iphone!

Robert,

Perhaps you should let Patrick write his own review on the iPhone – would be interesting to hear.

cheers,

monkeyleader: we’ll do something like that. He’s over the top with it. Far more excited than I am and I think it’s the most brilliant product I’ve used in a long time. It just BLOWS AWAY my existing Nokia N95 in many areas.

Just in case Steve Jobs is reading through.

A. What do you plan to do about this?

B. Why can I buy the Nokia 95 unlocked for a competitive price on Tiger Canada, but I can’t buy the iPhone unlocked to choose my own carrier in Canada?

C. Your iPhone costs a fortune. Is it really worth getting a phone that expensive when a small item such as that can easily be stolen or lost. Especially since you have to drag it all over the place and take it out often? You can get an unlocked moto KRZR for a little over a hundred bucks with voice dialing and a 2 megapixel camera.

D. Your iPhone does an awful lot of data transfer. Our rates in Canada are the worst on planet earth.

Rogers is the only GSM network here. They have a total monopoly and they are the only network that can support the iPhone. What kinds of steps have you taken Mr. Jobs to insure that people that use your iPhone in Canada do not receive $2000 phone bills from Rogers/AT&T crippling their budget and potentially destroying people’s lives?

Hey Robert:

Isn’t this a picture of Patrick on the front page of the Drudge report?

In the full sized version, I think I see Thomas and Kris from Zooomr too.

I tried to get a photo of Jobs but he expressed a “no photos” desire. My friend got a photo on one of the demo iPhones but couldn’t get the photo off the unit.
