While I'm not interested in buying an iPhone (it's not a good fit for how I use mobile devices), I'm excited about it because it will cause a paradigm shift in how U.S. consumers view cell phones. I believe the iPhone will broaden the U.S. market and create greater demand for other high-end phones from Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and Nokia.
