Who's sick of the iPhone?
As AT&T rushes to get ready for the single biggest day ever for the company a mere 5 days away, it causes one to pause and ponder the question: When will it all be finally OVER?
Seriously. We've had over 6 months to build up all this hype for the iPhone, and yet we as a consumer base don't know that much more about the phone than what we learned when Steve Jobs announced it in January. So we've had 6 months of speculation, rumors, and obsessive fans.
I frankly am ready to just be done with it. Sure, I like the concept of the iPhone. I think it will be a nice gadget and a good quality phone. iBut i don't ibelieve it's iworth all the ihype. I don't think the first iPhone will sell as well as everyone thinks. I believe a lot of people will go into AT&T stores out of curiousity and will want to play with it. However, very few people will be willing to not only shell out $500-600 for the phone, but pay an early contract termination fee of $200 and commit to 2 years with AT&T. That's a LOT of obligation just to get a phone!
So the phone will come out, the hype will die down, reviews will be made, consumers will choose to buy and/or return it, and the fate of iPhone will have been sealed in the coming weeks. And then, once it does, we can look forward to the next iPhone to come out. And the cycle begins again.
