Despite the ceaseless talk of the iPhone, it’s still a first-generation product that bears scrutiny from potential buyers before they make the leap, according to an unscientific survey of CNET readers.
Almost three out of four respondents don’t plan to buy the first generation of the iPhone, citing a dissatisfaction with the EDGE network that Apple and AT&T chose for the device, a reluctance to switch from their current carrier to AT&T, and a general distrust of the first generation of any technology product. Others didn’t like the relatively small storage capacity, no Java support, etc.
However, there was plenty who embraced the iPhone and the combination of its design, software and features. Apple certainly has its loyal fans, but several of the positive responses appeared to come from people other than so-called “fanboys,” notes CNET.
