I'd love to have one too, if there's anything left


Reasons to get one:

I don't care about the 1Gig space. I have my own server with as much space I may ever need. But I will need an "independent" email address, possibily with web interface. On the other hand, I think Gmail is the best around and most feature rich, I tend to like Google, and since I'm not in a hurry I'll be happy to wait that it's widely available (or to get some invitations, of course). Also, like many others, I'll be hopefully able to chose my address without having to add ugly looking numbers at it
