Cool the iPhone effect?

Has anyone else experienced this since the iPhone dropped?

Twice today I have had people stop me and ask if my Treo 750 is an iPhone.

I even got into a lengthy conversation with a waiter at a restaurant about the iPhone and why he should be glad he does not have it.

Anyone else have this happen to them recently? It's kinda cool, but if it happens everyday, that might get annoying.

Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm asked fairly often if my 750 is a blackberry... Very annoying

Great exposure though. People are paying closer attention. Now Palm needs to.

I was playing my MP3s at work and someone said, "That not show off, that isn't an iPhone". I was like, your right, it ain't an iphone, its better than that!

I think anyone who claims to be a true geek and is caught with an iPhone should have their Geek Union Card confiscated!!
