Mostly I heard about all the problems that it was having especially as it relates being tied to the ATT network. If asked if I had one, I was able to retort "I'm lucky. I am Canadian, we do not have the iPhone so by the time we do, the bugs hopefully will be out". That said, I still will not have one, as it is a toy, and since I have kids, I have all the toys at home anyone needs. That and the fact that it will likely come first to Rogers, since they are AT&T's partner, so since I am not their customer - that is not going to happen. I recently asked Vanessa Fox from Google "where's your iPhone?"; to which she replied. "Obviously you have not read my blog - I have a real phone!" I will let you read more on this on her blog (and no there are no nude pictures of her despite her URL - though it is definitely smart marketing. http://www.vanessafoxnude.com/2007/07/06/of-iphones-and-blackberries-and-smartphones/.
