iPhone

[Nutzoids]

Ahhhh I can't take it anymore!

I need it, Ever since I looked at my checking account and realized I can afford it... I havn't been able to think about anything else...

It's the most Beautiful thing thing in the world... Isn't it?

That is uglier, more proprietary, twice as expensive, less useful and harder on a battery than my trusty Palm TX. Sure, the TX isn't a phone, but that's what my Razr is for, and if I really wanted both in one unit I would just get a Treo, and still be much better off than with an iPhone.

Just like the iPod is a little bit neat but totally overrated and overpriced MP3 player, the iPhone is a little bit neat but totally overrated and overpriced phone.

Let's also not forget that in the U.S. the iPhone is now an AT&T product, and AT&T is the company that brought you a promise to filter your Internet connection for copyrighted material two weeks ago. I say screw them both.

Not to mention you can't replace the battery yourself. Personally the last thing I had you couldn't replace the battery in was a disposable flashlight 6 years ago.

very nice phone, bad thing about it's too BIG,
i need a phone that i can put in my pocket and still be able to run around without worry that it is gonna fall off and brake it. and $600 dollars including taxess? nah.
i will use that $600 bucks toward my YARIS monthly bills.

Nice ya, need it, no! I would rather take that money and just a tad more for suspension from heaven upgrade.

[brickhardmeat]

I don't like it but I use only my PHONE feature and PHONE book on my PHONE

That is all I wanted was a phone so that is what I have.

[Nutzoids]

Wow... So I guess I'm the only one who is really looking forward to this phone!

Either way... I'm excited and all your Negativity won't effect my excitement!

Yes, I really do NEED this phone... I have a Nextel!

[blacksan]

I feel old as shit, and am excited about just waking up which makes me no help whatsoever Nut's. On the other hand I do love my MacBook Pro!

I'm personally stoked about this phone. I'm an Apple fan, so I guess that has a part in my obsession. While I'll agree that there are phones out there that do the same things, none of them do it as easily as with the iPhone. It's the same reason why I use OS X instead of Windows. They can basically do the same things, but it's laid out so much better.

The main thing for me has to be the eye candy, it's just amazing with the transitions. Like I said before, other phones do the same things, but if you actually take some time and watch the videos on apple's site, you'll see why it's so hyped.

And to the people that bitch about the lack of 3G, most people that make those comments are the same people that DON'T have 3G in their area. Most providers have 3G in 150-300 cities!?

I'll be in line on Friday!

I've hated all things apple/mac since that damn G4 asked me "do you know what you're doing?" to which I answered "hell no" and went back to my pc!

Thank you... It seems most people either Love or Hate Apple... True there might be fewer of us Apple Fans out there, But at least we know what we like!

I have found that most people who have something Negative to say about this iPhone haven't seen any of the "Instructional Videos" they have just read other peoples Opinions and qoute them as fact!

The people who take there time and research things for themselves only have one Negative thing to say... It Cost Too Much!

Well Hell, Welcome to Apple... It's like if Lexus made a YS150!

If you wanna learn for yourselves!

I have heard that there are gonna be problems with it right out the gate, but then again I am with Verizon, but I wouldnt buy it if they were the carrier instead of AT&T Cingular or whatever its gonna be next week.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

my friend is going to buy one. i personally wouldn't spend 600+ on a phone. but it is nice.

[BMGYaris]

God, I want one too. (but I really want a G3 as well so I can use it traveling to Japan) I am actually picking a new phone from suncom right now, thinking about the 7130g or the Pearl, but I think the 7 has a good bit better phone connection, I have an Ipod and I don't REALLY need a digital camera. So the expandable memory won't help THAT MUCH and it would cost more money since it wouldn't take my miniSD. Anyway, thats mythoughts, help me out if you have any advice!

I would rather wait for at least a 2nd generation of this product, both for price and reliability reasons.

Look at the history of Apple's products (or any other company's, for that matter): 1st generation stuff always ends up being the worst one. I tend to think about 1st gen products like a huge beta test.

On the other hand, they look pretty good. Hope you enjoy your new iPhones when you get 'em!

[hasher22]

look at me teenie bopper item.

if it was made from nokia i would buy it! :)

definitely great eye candy, the sliding touch interface seems very intuitive too, but I keep hearing from people who have tried it, that it tries to do and be too many things at once, and the hardware can't keep up, so you get frequent slowdowns and freezes and so on...

I've had all sorts of phones in the past, from the plain and basic nokia 3310 to the monstrous old iPAQs with the phone dock thingie... And the best ones I've owned are the Sony Ericsson's K range, small, light, powerful enough yet not draining batteries, not insanely expensive, awesome built-in camera, just perfect for my needs

I've heard the exact opposite about having the phone keep up, I've heard that the transitions and effects are just as fast as the videos on apple's site

I'm with you on your Sony comments, I really like their bar phones, small with a great camera. If I wasn't' such a sucker for eye candy, I'd own a sony.
