If you live in the UK, have a Citi Bank account, and bought one of the first iPhones on sale this weekend, then you couldn't use it because the service provider O2 didn't recognise the Citibank sort code. And can the average YouTube user (icon on phone "desktop") really afford this overpriced toy?

Whenever there is communication, you’ve got to first identify the level it’s at or else you’d be happily talking about nuts and nutters with a chimp before realising that all it wanted was a banana. That’s the way the “stock market”, aka the gamblers’ pitt, works. Talking-up a sidewinder or else there’ll be no action. The trick of the “chosen few” in making something out of nothing is to generate activity by baiting dumb blankness into a cycle of finger-pointing & comparing, another word for power mongering, and lo and behold, the zero-sum game starts spinning again in order that these “new world order”-ites can then take bites out of the activity generated thereof. Yes, commissions & commissioners, traders and entrepreneurs, take your pick for that’s just another word for kleptomaniacs and their addiction to begging, masquerading as innovation and creativity and when it comes to creativity, how can anyone take, “no”, for an answer to 4.4 mil schmucks, eh? By the gifts of the gods, it look like the blank ones have been truly blessed this time round. Patience is indeed, a virtue, in rejecting mere Nokias and Motos.

4 Million is total rubbish. If its anywhere near realistic they probably didn't know they'd have to pay at least £600 including handset price and the 18 months MINIMUM contract price.

nobody asked me, i will be one of the 60 million + who isn't interested and would never pay for a phone.

how many people were interviewed?
was it about 1000 then some spin doctor takes a % from that and assumes everyone thinks the same way as those 1000 that were leaving the apple shop?

4million! rubbush. i somehow doubt anywhere near that many were asked. where did this poll come from, lets see some hard figures.

Maybe 3.99 Million hope to use hacks on it?

*Strokes N95* My baby...
I love it like my first born even though I have no children...

Nobody asked me either. I feel left out now. :(
