[McGinley @ Jul 1st 2007 5:28AM]

Yeap?

[spritle @ Jul 1st 2007 7:13AM]

I'm in for a free iphone. I'll consider buying one when they come out with the nano version.

[suntigen @ Jul 1st 2007 10:25PM]

iPhone for me please.

[Marcquest Taylor @ Jul 2nd 2007 12:48AM]

Im so happy the iphone came out. I got rid of verizon and and got a free cingular contract to have the I phone. The best thing that the phone has is visual voice mail. Now i will actualy check my voice mail.

[MikeH @ Jul 2nd 2007 1:44PM]

Having an all in one device that i can take with me everywhere

[melvin @ Jul 2nd 2007 3:31PM]

Please! I need an excuse to break my Sprint contract!

Plus, I'll set Engadget as my home page and never cease to extol your virtues. Oh, and I'll narc out any phony Engadget stores I see!

[jeneralp @ Jul 3rd 2007 10:20PM]

I would love to win an iPhone so I could give it to my husband. That way when he leaves everyday I don't have to listen to, "where's my cell? you seen my iPod?" I'll only have to listen to, "have you seen my iPhone?"

[Ian Cinnamon @ Jul 1st 2007 5:34AM]

How do you enter?

[marvin newton @ Jul 1st 2007 10:32AM]

Looks very interesting like try out for one

[Jason @ Jul 1st 2007 5:36AM]

With all the hype, buzz, and hate towards even the mention of the iPhone, I am surprised more people haven't mentioned its merit in being possibly the first phone made(designed) in the United States, since possibly the very first phone in existence.

[Alan Partridge @ Jul 1st 2007 6:10AM]

You ever hear of Motorola?

[Worth @ Jul 1st 2007 10:28AM]

isn't motorola an asian based company? i think jason is right...

[Bob @ Jul 1st 2007 10:38AM]

No Worth, it's no and Jason is wrong.

[Justin @ Jul 1st 2007 11:08AM]

So true, Motorola is based out of Schaumburg, Illinois... That be part of the continental United States. And they are responsible for making the first mobile phone. Hell they made the phones NASA used when we went to the moon, can't be more American than that.

[Ant @ Jul 1st 2007 5:36AM]

SO your giving it away, a $500 device, nice. But the poor person who gets it will end up paying $900 over the first 12 months on the contract, not so nice. I really want to hate this thing but it looks so dam nice, even the box, all that black and white and shinny. Keep telling yourself this thing will cost you close to $1900 over two years and the Internet aps are slow, don't do it.

[nick @ Jul 1st 2007 9:20PM]

i want one!! :P

[ed @ Jul 1st 2007 7:26PM]

Shut up don't ruined this for the rest of us.

[Ant @ Jul 1st 2007 5:41AM]

I got carried away with the figures there, its more like $650 a year. I can't take it. The phone is changing my mind, it's so sweeet. My partner would kill me. But it's shinny, so shinny. Must go, she has seen me.

[shaun @ Jul 1st 2007 5:44AM]

I wish I lived in america...

i dont even care about 3G!

[Ant @ Jul 1st 2007 5:49AM]

I don't live in America either but i'd love to see the confusion on peoples faces if I could win one. I'd be like the pipe piper with a line of nerds following me round Birmingham city centre and into the apple shop where I would go to the tek staff and ask them why its not working. Funny.

[Brendan @ Jul 1st 2007 3:15PM]

The Kaiser might flop

[Theo Lagendijk @ Jul 1st 2007 5:53AM]

... and I still want to have it

[shaun @ Jul 1st 2007 5:56AM]

lol yer, my brother's friend's dad (I know it sounds like I'm about to talk about some impossible rumour like a 1TB iPhone coming out tomorrow or something) works for apple, here in the UK, and apparently he's getting an iPhone for free from america......but surely you have to be an american citizen to get a contract with AT&T, and I really doubt that apple would make a batch of phones work over here just so that some foreign employees can have one before it's release?

My brother is 12 and kids can exaggerate lol

[skiUp @ Jul 1st 2007 5:57AM]

I don't even get static where I live.
I need cool toys.

[Gordon S. @ Jul 1st 2007 6:02AM]

At a little more than fourteen thousand comments...I don't think that reminding anyone is much of an issue.

If anything,it is only a hurtful reminder to us faithful engadgeteers that enter every contest and walk away with nothing but broken dreams (that and information, on the kind of stuff that makes our hearts tick in that oh so amazing way, from all of the other articles on here and your sister sites.)

(insert sad emo face with the foreknowledge that I've already lost that sweet
sexy prize.)

[Michael @ Jul 1st 2007 6:07AM]

Hi Engadget, I generally don't comment, but I will for this occasion, because I want one. Why should choose me from over the 7000 or so that entered? Quite simple, because I live in Australia. And it'd be funny chugging around an iPhone that actually isn't a phone. It'd be a nice paper weight and chick magnet.

[Stewart Sensor @ Jul 1st 2007 6:13AM]

Wow, so email me so I can give you my address!! Give me give me!!

[zaphod_fl @ Jul 1st 2007 6:23AM]

I would hate to switch from T-Mobile... but for an iPhone... Hell yes

[Spyvie @ Jul 1st 2007 6:30AM]

If I were to win an iPhone, It maw change my MS fanboy mind and cause me to install iTunes and Quicktime on my Windows box for the first time in many years.

[MarionBarfs @ Jul 1st 2007 6:35AM]

"..."

[matti @ Jul 1st 2007 6:36AM]

Yeah, it looks well smooth. Dunno if it works here in the Netherlands, but I dont relly care. I can pretend, everybody can believe me, and I will finally get some weel-deserved respect back (that I lost when I was seen in public with a Zune(R).
Uh Yeah.

[David Duong @ Jul 1st 2007 7:01AM]

I'd like to have one but I use my Treo 700p so much for medical programs and push email with Outlook Server 2003. I may get one for a secondary phone at my 2nd job where I can't get a Sprint signal

[Christopher @ Jul 1st 2007 7:04AM]

I'm in. I'll take it. Thanks.

[b84fish @ Jul 1st 2007 7:19AM]

Despite a minimum of 55 a month, I still want this thing...

[Chase Kaplan @ Jul 1st 2007 7:29AM]

i would love one! i've watched every video, viewed every photo, and read every article on the iPhone. i'm all Apple (fully beefed mac book pro, ipod, airport extreme, etc.), but i just can't afford an iPhone right now. It would be a dream and a half to be blessed with one ;) (plus, i've been addicted to Engadget for a year and a half and always have a tab of it open... which i refresh so much that i normally have hit refresh ten times before a new article is posted... and they are posted often ;)
-i love Engadget, i love Apple, give me a chance to love iPhone!

[Giuseppe @ Jul 1st 2007 7:29AM]

Like most folks here... I want an iPhone because, at the moment, it is new and different. Okay, it would be nice to sync with my Mac.

[Sean @ Jul 1st 2007 7:38AM]

Bah.
On screen keyboards are teh suck - Offer another giveaway when they port Dasher to it.

[Dave @ Jul 1st 2007 7:45AM]

Let me have one :)

[plush @ Jul 1st 2007 7:45AM]

berlin is waiting for the iphone touchdown…

[dj_tof @ Jul 1st 2007 7:55AM]

PLEEEEEEEEEASE....? I would give anything...lol

[AlEX KROKE @ Jul 1st 2007 7:55AM]

I probably would pay for it, But i like to use withouth the 2 year contract..

[Joe @ Jul 1st 2007 7:56AM]

If they will have a nano-priced one I am in!

[Brandon McCall @ Jul 1st 2007 7:59AM]

I just want one as I have to meet the ridiculous standard that I've set for myself over the years [as the guy with all the phones and s---.] I'm supposed to always have the latest and greatest around here. Do you have any idea how much pressure I'm under?

[ravic @ Jul 1st 2007 8:04AM]

I will consider one when they have a 3g version. Data speeds are too important for me.

[Brad @ Jul 1st 2007 8:16AM]

My wife says I'm not allowed to get one so I want to prove her wrong!

[QuickDood @ Jul 1st 2007 8:37AM]

Hey brad I am in the same boat you are in right now. Wife's just don't seem to understand the beauty of gadgets. I tried to explain it to here the trinity of internet, ipod, and phone which is the iphone. It went something like this, "Imagine a pretty box with lots of shiny stones on it the most beautiful box you have ever seen (women like pretty boxes and this is a function on its own), now imagine in that box there is a beautiful pendant necklace which is simply the nicest necklace you have ever seen (women like pretty jewelry), also in that box is a truly elegant and unique dress with lots of details on it. Wouldn't you really want that pretty box with all that nice stuff in it? That is how I feel about the Iphone" It kind of got through to her but then she asked how I would justify the monthly cost of the iphone and then the battle was lost since verizon is already holding me in bondage and will be doing so for the next year or so.

[QuickDood @ Jul 1st 2007 8:26AM]

I would love to get the iphone and I am entered to get one, but it doesn't seem right to give someone a $600 prize which gets them into a $1,400 two year commitment. I am sure most of us can afford the $600 to actually buy the iphone, what is deterring most of us is the monthly fees we would incur. Sure a $600 discount is great and that is why I entered the contest but I feel when doing something like this a 2 year paid contract should be thrown in or at least 1 year. Thanks for the give away and all though it may have been executed poorly I do appreciate the thought behind the idea.

[Mike @ Jul 1st 2007 8:27AM]

Trying to keep up with the Jones'.

[Cody @ Jul 1st 2007 8:32AM]

*meep*!

[greg @ Jul 1st 2007 8:35AM]

pick me, pick me !!!!!
