Apple iPhone...?

I am thinking of getting an iPhone... I have a friend who can get me one for a LOT cheaper then retail. I really want to do it, but, I need to know... what are your good and bad opinions about it... I need everything, dirt and all!!! Thanks!

Update:

By the way... I'm only spending $200 on the 8G. So, I'm getting about $400 off. Thanks for your opinions!

    i dont think you should. even if the price is a lot less then retail- its STILL probably ridiculously expensive!! apple's products are never anything great. and the iphone is spankin' new, so there are going to be bugs that arent worked out. wait a while, because then the problems will be fixed, other companys will probably have diff. versions of the iphone for a cheaper price, and apple might even drop the price, who knows?

    heres a link to a guy on yahoo answers who just had a problem with his iphone:

    ok the iphone is cool and all but the thing about it is that it is totally closed. Meaning that you cannot open the phone or remove the battery. So if anything goes wrong or the battery spoils u will have to send it back to apple to get fixed which will set u back alot of money for repairs. so i'm guessing by the time they fix ur apple iphone it would have cost u the price of a new iphone.

    it might not work because they're still checking the phone out. so for now just chill and see any other phones because there are some other really cool ones out there too! hope i helped..... ;^)

    OMG these people are dumb. Yes every new product gets scrutinized for every little thing it doesn't have but its great for everything it does have. Think about this, it is the THINNEST smart phone ever made and has many features no other phone has ( full Internet and an video wide screen ipod) and it improves on original applications to make them better and more innovative (visual voice mail and SMS text with the qwerty key board which is very easy to use) and all the glitches unlike other phones can be fixed with updates (my sister had a glitche in her phone ( a samsung blackjack) and had to change the hardware and send it back- iphone just updates and thats it) as for glitches I have none bet phone Ive ever had. And many test have been done (the screen doesnt scratch easily and when dropped it still works fine)

    There is no video recording!! you can't send pix to anyone for some dumb reason. You can't change the battery since the battery is build inside. The internet is slooow!! You drive? It's really hard to text since you don't know where the letters are at since there is no buttons. For more info, go to phonescoop.com

    I would WAIT a FEW MONTHS if I were you.

    EVERY NEW product , has glitches.In a few months , listen ti the news to know when these glitches ARE fixed.

    All you need to know that it totally kicks a$$. and if you're getting a discount, why hesitate? You won't find a better phone.
