in some ways yes.

take the original iphone...

NOTE, the link below is NWS for verbage

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone

it was way behind-the-times when it hit stores. no 3G, couldn't send MMS (still cant lol) fixed amount of storage on-board, battery not replaceable (still isn't) you have to carry a cord around if you want to sync with a computer, as opposed to the rest of us who simply hot-swap microSD cards..

all things apple are fashion accessories, designed and marketed to people who don't want to THINK about what they're doing.

you can have 1.1million Apps (and pay out the nose for all of them) for your iPhone, but when it comes time to find a taco bell in your zipcode, someone with a regular old phone will find one faster. while you're swiping your finger through pages and pages of garbage to find the app you want, i've already texted taco bell fort lauderdale to 46645 and googl has texted me back with the address and phone number

not to mention i can send that text while driving, and keeping my eyes on the road. try THAT with a touch screen of any kind

and that is my rant. no offense meant to anyone who is a fan of apple products, but the product itself is not really all that special, given the ACTUAL features available.

ok before i start I am not telling anyone to do any of the following I am just putting it out there since it is pretty much common knowledge already

yes no mms is insane I think i even saw Zach Morris send one on that huge phone he used to carry around lol

and anyone that can text can do the same to find out the location of taco bell it isn't restricted on the iphone cause i just texed the same thing to the same # and got back 3 results ? and i have no problem texting while driving not that i ever have lol

The answer is to jailbreak the iphone !!!


once you are jailbroken just about every app in the app store is avail to you for free via installous or the appulou.us web site

I can stream every song off my home comp or any other that I can get my hands on and all my pics as well using simplify media (which i didn't pay for) & I use orb live to stream all of the movies I own to my iphone ( again free) ... so right there I have no restriction on how much media I can have access to on my iphone!

You can customize ringtones as well:

On a jailbroken iphone or 3g you CAN record video via cycorder or iphone video recorder avail through cydia

You can voice dial via free app called vlingo and you can record voices via italk recorder and IM'ing is possible from a bunch of apps free from the app store

You can sync to any computer that has bluetooth via ibluetooth in cydia

I'm not fighting with you cause thats your opinion i'm just giving mine

according to wikipedia they estimate that there are 4 million jailbroken iphones and ipod touches out there (I think maybe more when you look at how many people are members of some of these jailbreak sites) plus to jailbreak your phone only takes like 15min tops

and some people don't care to be jailbroken but others like myself do for the obvious reasons
