Why weren't you in line this morning?

how about iPhone 3G S not being available at the moment in "some countries" ?

Although its made improvements with every hardware and OS updates, it hasn't yet reached the stage of functionality where I'm prepared to switch from Windows Mobile.

Now that they're established a good set of consumer features, they need to focus on the power users.

Also a hardware keyboard would be nice, either integrated into the handset or an external one that connects via bluetooth/cable.

Seriously, where's the "trying to patiently wait for the LTE version" option?

I'm just waiting until I get paid for a freelance website. That money was already earmarked to iPhone 3gs. Will be nice to get off the BB.

It's the economy, stupid?

I pre-ordered and had it delivered. I'm still waiting for the activation to go through...

My father on the other hand got his at the local Apple Store. Waited in line for 5 mins and walked out another 5 mins later with an ACTIVATED iPhone.

I'm not sure who I should be mad at: AT&T, Apple, or myself.

You forgot the "I wouldn't touch an iPhone with a 39 and a half foot pole" option...

Seriously though - no desire to have this device - it's too limited. I owned a 3G for less than 24 hours before I returned it. I found it to be terribly lacking in functionality with terrible battery life. Typing was an utter nightmare. I have an iPod touch these days, and on the odd occasion that I try to type something, it's an exercise in utter frustration.

At work, I use a nokia e71, and I'll soon be replacing my home phone with an N97. Real keyboards rule.

As usually seems to be the case, there was no option in this poll that fits me, so I didn't vote.

I wasn't "in line" because I have no interest in a cell phone. Even if I did, the behavior of Apple & ATT would not encourage me; I wouldn't want to be anyone's slave. I'll probably get an iTouch if they put a camera in it. Then probably jailbreak it, as a matter of principle. I don't put up with anyone telling me what I can or cannot read.

You need to change this poll, or does TUAW still think the iPhone is only sold in the USA?

I would have voted if there was an option like:

(o) Not allowed to buy, because I am stuck in contract.

I've been using the iPhone since the very first USA launch (despite being in the UK). When it launched in the UK, I upgraded to the 3G on launch day too.

This is the first iPhone I haven't been able to buy on launch day because since I have gone legit, Apple/o2 are preventing me due to being contracted until December (the earliest anyone can upgrade if they purchased the 3G on launch day).

I'm really not sure if it's a justifiable upgrade. $300 is a lot (I'd get the 32GB, no point getting the smaller memory size model ever), but other than an ominous recent headphone jack problem, my 3G is still in great condition and capable of doing everything I need of it.
