iPhone 3Gs now outnumber originals

I want to know when there are more iPhones than Macs. Surely it's gonna happen.

Gimmee a 32GB version (or a 64!) and I'll be in that number. Pipe dream for now, I know.

There might be no rhyme or reason for this admittedly untested statement, but it's worth noting that with respect to battery life, since I've done the last two updates, things have gotten better.

That is to say, I can use it regularly and still have some charge by the time I *should* be in bed.

Of course, it's still not acceptable, especially coming from a Curve needing only a bi-daily charge.

As for the reception issues, I still cry in my pillow every night.

does anyone know what percentage of the market apple holds now? I know originally they were looking to capture 0.5% of the market.

For me the most interesting thing is that Apple has turned the wireless phone industry on it's head with one model of phone. I realize there was 1st gen and now 2nd, but folks like Motorola were talking about 38 models of phones in the second half of '08. Apple has 1 phone (not withstanding variations in capacity). Think about that.

Those are amazing statistics, and what is more incredible for platform development is that does not include the iPod Touch user base, which are essentially iphones sans phone/text. The potential worldwide target audience a developer has via the AppStore is phenomenal.

and how many of those have been replaced due to bad QC? I've had 6 myself...cracks, light leakage, dust under glass, bright pixels,buttons falling off, etc...

main reason for this is it was released world wide, hence more sales in comparison to the first-gen iPhone.

I did get a 3G when they came out but I had to return it. I'm surprised at how many people I work with have one.

Deal breakers for me:
Coverage. GSM has no coverage anywhere besides metro areas. I travel and the day I took it with I had no service once i was 30 minutes out of a metro area till i got back, couldn't make a call!
Battery wouldn't last 12 hours with "normal" use, my treo lasts 3 days with the same use (ya ya not 3G but at least i dont have to be plunged in!)
No push gmail
Txt cost an arm and a leg

let's see winmo fans defend this :)
