What's Your iPhone Personality?

Want an iPhone? By now, most people have heard about the next big tech breakthrough. The iPhone has received a lot of media coverage, along with a lot of hype to go with it. While it may seem like you have to have it, you may still be wondering if the iPhone is right for you? That depends on what type of potential user you are.

The early bird

An early adopter is the type of person who has to get the newest tech gadgets as soon as they come out. These are the people who waited in line for a long time to get the iPhone as soon as it went on sale. Chances are, if you are this type of consumer you already bought an iPhone. You will decide if you really need it after you try it.

Wait and see

People that fall into this category won't mind getting an iPhone soon, but want to see what other people have to say about it first. This can include the comments of friends or news reports, for example. If you fall into this category make sure to weigh the good and not so good reports you hear. Focusing on one or the other may be a decision you regret. 

You understand that there might be a few bugs at first and you would like them patched before you invest in a new iPhone. Or, at least know what the bugs are.

Tech nut

This isn't meant to be a derogatory term. The tech nut is likely to have each of the individual components that make up the iPhone. Namely, a cell phone. iPod, portable web browser and digital camera. If you are a tech nut, then getting an iPhone could reduce a lot of your current tech clutter. That alone could make it worth the price.

Plus, the fact that the iPhone has a touch screen and orients its display based on how you hold it and what you are looking at can really make it desirable. There's lots of stuff to satisfy your techy side.

Your average Joe

Probably the category most potential iPhone users fall into. If you waited until after the year 2000 to get a cell phone or feel just fine using a dial up internet connection, then this is likely the category you fall into. You may want to make sure that the iPhone isn't just another fad. Also, you may be waiting for it to come down in price. Keep in mind, that there are a lot of cool features on the iPhone, but there is a price tag to match. Recommendation: Wait for the price to drop $100 and for more cellular providers to be allowed to offer iPhone service before you buy.

Business person

There are plenty of features on the iPhone to make it a useful gadget for business people. If your employer gives you the option then go ahead and take an iPhone. The email, web browsing, camera and cell phone capabilities make it an easy choice. One word of warning, if you are on the road a lot be careful with the touch screen. As there are no buttons to feel you have to be looking at the iPhone to use it, this can be hazardous while driving.

Whether you fit into any of these categories or a different one, you will ultimately have to decide if an iPhone is right for you. You now have some information to help you make a better decision.
