What do your friends think?

Yeah, no one gets it. Only the uber-geek and/or the uber chic get excited about this device. I try to tell my friends it's like something from the future, you know, like if Capt. Kirk used a mobile phone (before the communicator). Wait till I show 'em!
Some of my friends are "relatively" familiar with the iPhone. Some know very little. None of my friends seem at all concerned that I'll be buying a $600 magical device. I get the impression that all my friends (mostly PC people) can't wait to see one.
I converted my girlfriend to Apple machinery about a year ago...iPod nano, MacBook, etc. I predict she will buy an iPhone approximately 2-3 weeks after I get mine

Good one! The whole world is going to finally get it when this thing is released into the wild.
my girlfriend wants to kill me and literally counts how many times a day i talk about it...my father just screams and shouts but he'll help me get it on release date, haha!
All of my friends think I am weird...until I whip out the iPhone on the 29th Then there will be Disdain...Silence ...and ambivolence to the fact that I ....along with thousands of others had the initiative and balls(bush for the ladies)to STEP UP to the iPhone as well as stepping up to technology. By the way...I have had several Crown and Seven Ups. iPhone...here i come!
Most of my friends think phones should all be free like the Nokia 5165 they got when they first got a cell phone.
Me too, but let me tell you, those friends are usually the first to say "oh cool! can I play with it?" They tend to live vicariously through me and my obsession
Everyone I know thinks the iPhone is cool and most of them want one. They think I'm crazy for waiting in line to get one on launch day though.

Well my friends who worked on the development team think it's a pretty cool piece of kit. But then again, Apple is giving them theirs.
The rest think it's pretty stupid.
I'll just play with the free iPhones when I go out to visit in a couple weeks.

I don't see how those quotes proved their character. It only showed me how excited they are about getting their iPhone and that the friends will see just how cool it is when they see it in person. I think your own insecurities are showing in this post. Not sure why you want to rain on their parade. Maybe you should take a break and come back in a week.
Mostly all my friends say im crazy for paying that much for a phone, but i've done it before so its not the first time. a lot of my co workers want 1 but since it doesn't work with exchange none of them are willing to get one, so they are all waiting for me to get it so they can play around with it.
Let's see, each person I quoted is trying to make "their friends" jealous because they have an iPhone and their friends don't. That is called being superficial and borderline narcissist.
Not because of their desire for the iPhone, but because they want one so they can show it off to "their friends".
For GOD sake it is just a phone!
If someones life revolves around the "goal" of posing an object like a phone (and there are many on this forum) then that persons reality and mental stability is definitely in question.
My teenage boys know about the iPhone, but neither one of them is ranting and raving about it. Nor would they consider "camping" out for it.
My friends don't think i'm "weird", but a couple of them have definitely grown tired of it being the only thing I talk about. lol
