O2 have shifted 1 million iphones in 16 months

[snotsnfarts]

Not bad for apple a company that has never made a phone before. It must be the largest selling individual phone made.

Best phone I've ever had, nokia, sumsung and the rest must be bricking it..

Must have been a big forklift.

In't fashion brilliant.

It may be useful to some, to many it is because it is "apple"

I've got one and a new Blackberry Bold.

My iPhone 3G makes the 'berry look archaic.

Best gadget I have ever bought.

That's a very tasty combination too, Mr Kipling.

I got one too on "Pay as you Go" for Christmas.

Using it more for Internet than the Phone.

A couple of the guys I work with really want one aswell, but either don't want to spend the £360 or are unable to get out of their current contracts.

No way near I would have thought

I worked for both sub contract and OEM phone manufacturers we kicked out 120,000 units a month and that was just one factory of many.

Want one but feel it would be the end of my listening in lectures and would therefore fail my degree so I shall refrain

[Ireland]

I got one as a present at Christmas.

I use it as my personal phone and have an N-95 as my work phone.

The iPhone is by far the nicer of the two.

+1 stuff like the Motorola Razor, That Ericsson that everyone used to have (T28 ?) and various others must have sold st loads more. Although the 1 million is in the UK only so is not too shabby.

To some yes, not to many, most of the people I know with them have no idea who Apple are and would never consider buying a Mac.

This is what makes it so extraordinary. Apple have entered a new market from scratch and blown everyone else out of the water. I understand the detractors and the shortcomings of the device itself but Apple have shown that the spec sheet means nothing if the device does what it does well.

I got one last year and I am regretting it sooooo much.

Not the iPhones fault - just O2s absolutely dire coverage - it is just so patchy. I'd forgotten what it was like to drop every call What makes it worse is that it is costing me business. It's so bad that I have it set to permanently forward to an Orange PAYG phone. Utter st!

I guess it must be the circles we mix with.

The girls I know all have them.

Have you updated the firmware? O2 have a pretty solid network unless you really are in the boondocks.

[Risotto]

While I agree that some people would buy dogst if it had an Apple logo, the success of the iPhone wouldn't have happened were it not for the fact that they're staggeringly simple to use and very intuitive.

Great phone in every way except the battery - I struggle to get one day out of mine!!
