No, just a guy used to cell phones much smaller than this. Everyone else is used to cell phones much smaller than this as well, which is why I don't think it will succeed as a phone.

If all you're looking for is "a phone," you're not the target audience for the iPhone. There will always be some little commodity phone a cell provider is dying to give away for nothing. Size, schmize; no one whose last name isn't "Hilton" pays five hundred bucks just to have a phone.

On the other hand, if you were toting a phone, a PDA and an iPod, and can now have all in one, working together in ways never possible before, and maybe even leave the laptop behind for stuff you do every day, this would be pretty exciting.

However, the market Apple was supposed to be trying for, according to analysts, was the cell-phone market. This device is physically too big to make a huge dent there. Once again, it will succeed as the new iPod and mini-tablet, but that isn't the same market.
