1. Yes
It serves it's purpose for the most part.

2. Yes - I believe that they exist.
Though I have forgotten mine this morning, and so it is still sitting on my desk at home. :eyes:

4. Whether I believe in them or not, it doesn't change the fact that they exist.

5. Cell "phones" don't exist
The small boxes people carry around operate and are regulated as long range two-way radios. Radio broadcasts have no right to privacy.

6. For some, yes
I have yet to own one. The concept doesn't fit for me.

7. Wazzup with
all of the hostility towards iphones???

Annoying marketing aside, the plain and simple fact is that they are REALLY COOL! I mean, my is REALLY COOL! For those of you who don't know, here are some features:

Camera
Photo storage and display
Has a calendar and address book that synch up automatically with my computer ones.
Has Google maps
Can watch YouTube videos
Calculator
Alarm clock
Stop watch
Timer
Notepad
An iPod
Plays feature length movies
Has a full web browser! (Safari) which synchs up with my computer's bookmarks
Has full mail

That's a lot. Oh yeah, and it's a phone, with a really cool and logical interface.

Honestly, I don't know what else I'd like it to do. Maybe GPS.

10. I have a non-iPhone cell phone...
And it can do all that as well, except the feature length movies, but I don't think I'd want to watch anything on that small of a screen anyhow. And it does have GPS.

Just sayin'. :)
