Are they all up to par with all the hipe, some info before I spend the 500$.

I Don't believe it's worth it. I think its way too expensive for what it gives you and it's really delicate..

$500 for a glorified cellphone with a few extra features? If you have a lot of disposable income burning a hole in your pocket you can be an early adopter, other than that it's all hype at this point.

I don't think an iphones worth the money. I don't have one but iv'e seen them advertised. And they do look like they would be really nice to have but $500 is a lot for a phone. If you have that kind of money then maybe its okay. But I would check into it and see about what would happen if it got stolen and things like.
