iPhone or iNot

Should I get the iPhone?

Okay, for Christmas I have been thinking about asking for the iPhone. I have an iPod and a phone but honestly I really do want this phone. However, I think this would be a huge purchase for my family. Also, if I get it I will probably have to share it with my father. I know what most of you are thinking, don't get it!, why would you want to share a phone?!, I would never do that!. However, my Dad rarely uses his phone and maybe if we both use it a lot and love it we could get separate phones. So my point was, he barely uses it. Honestly, I am completely on the fence about this. Do you guys think I should get this phone or is it completely over-rated? Oh, and I have Verizon.
