I have to say, they do look pretty cool but considering i take my laptop pretty much everywhere with me i dont see the need to have all that 'extra' crap on my cell phone, especially considering ive lost mine twice already since the Phoenix show and have had to buy a replacement for it both times LOL
So any of you folks planning on getting the new iPhone on the 29th?
Regards,
Lee
I needed a replacement phone a couple of months ago and could not wait any longer so I got a motorola slvr, very thin and light. I would love an iphone but prolly not till christmas time.
Yep, I'm on a waiting list... Love it.
I want one, but I think I'm going to wait for generation 2 to roll out, let em fix some of the inherent bugs... :-) Once that happens, it's ON! LOL :yeah:
not at all
I don't see what the fuss is about really
Plus we're on the pink T and I hate cell phones :D
i'll stick with my rotary phone thank you very much!

Yes, but we are waiting for the second generation.
I love Apple, but sometimes thier first gen products tend to light things on fire.
Seriously, that is the last thing I need in my pants pocket.
Can't wait to get my hands on one!
I couldn't wait a week for the iphone so I went and bought the Upstage. It's clearly not in the iphone's league BUT it does fit nicely in my pockets and it's weighted enough that I am able to toss it around my hand and flip it without dropping it. I'd hate to think what i'd do if I dropped my iphone.Quote:

Yep! I don't even like cellphones and rarely use mine. But the iPhone is just too sexy to resist.
Btw, a topic about an Apple product without one of Paco's infamous anti-Apple posts seems sorta empty. Lol.
I am dying to get one but then I worry soon as I do a better model will come out in a month or two! :hmm:
In case anyone missed this...

(Since this is an apple thread I thought it would be ok.)
Just wish things didn't cost so dang much
Here's an interesting link Gary just sent me about the iPhone...
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/0...-total-co.html
In the space of a 2 year contract, the iPhone will actually end up costing you almost $6000.
Not including tax :eek:

Well, actually.. that's a little extravagant on the numbers...Quote:

So.. >Bottom< line numbers?
Motorola Razr -
$100.00 Phone
(No activation.. I've been with T-mobile for a while :square: )
$49.99 p/month. = 1,199.76 plus tax
Iphone-
$499.00 Phone
$36.00 Activation
$59.00 p/month = 1,974.76 plus tax.
Just a few more hundred dollars to be tech'ed out and super-hip... If that's how you get your jollies.
Me? I'll save my money for a nice dinner - T-mobile does just fine for me... But don't be too surprised if I ask to check my myspace with your pretty phone. :joker:
the new iPhone reviews are in...

Yeah, but think about the fact that you are comparing one of the biggest and most involved Razr plans with the very basic no-frills iPhone plans.Quote:

You can not always put a price on being cool.
:eek:
I am ready to buy one- I just dont want to camp out overnight to get one. If i can walk in at 6:00 and they have plenty of stock, I will have mine in my dock by Friday night.
Call me bohemian, I suppose. I try to live a minimalist sort of lifestyle, for the most part. I wasn't knockin' the Iphone.. I was actually just trying to paint a clearer picture of the "Price of Cool" in that it wouldn't necessarily be a $6k investment over two years.Quote:

Too bad you cant download pinball. That is one of the big criticisms of the iPhone. No third party apps can be downloaded. Can only use web based pinball I guess.
Well.. blast. I'll just go to addictinggames.com then.
A list of things I found, when reading through some stuff -
Doesn't do/have
• Songs as Ringtones
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack
• 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA)
• GPS
• A real keyboard
• Removable battery
• Expandable Storage
• Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)
And the Battery has around a 350 charge life.

Well, yeah. I think is supposed to be an AT&T exclusive.. but you'd think that with they connection to the intar-webs and such that they'd be able to make a way for the information to be stored via another means. Perhaps a customer website that uploads the numbers/contact information that's accessible from your IPhone.
But that's just me... I use my phone as an address book since I have a horrible time remembering my own phone number.. much less other people's.

I think I'll stick with my Razr. I don't need to be cool. :high:

Or, "I love the service I have. I never lose a connection, but it only works in Rhode Island."
I use T Mobile because it works almost everywhere in the world, and I do travel all over. The reception is mediocre.
Does anyone have really good call connection with their mobile phone AND have a phone that works everywhere? US, Canada, EU, and SE Asia??
Hmm, so nice he said it twice. :hippy:
Sorry~~:crybaby:
could you imagine LOSING one of these things? Makes my knees weak just thinking about it.
Their is no way Im going to pay 500 for a phone and then anther 60 a month for service and its on at&t
I would get one in a blink of the eye, except for 2 reasons: 1) It operates on the slow AT+T data network, and 2) it does not work in Europe.
It is a $500 cellphone, just as my Treo a year ago was $400... the minimum monthly would be basically the same as my current Nokia for voice plus $10 for data (up to $30 for ultd data)...
The GPS component to me would be worth the price to get the iPhone rather than a Garmin or Tom Tom.
When I have decided my plans to shoot in Europe, and figured out the best phone or phones to work in USA and Europe, then I will get an iPhone.
My computer network has 4 Macs and one VISTA machine, so the iPhone would immediately sync with calendar, e-mail and more.
There are already rumors in the tech circles going around that the iPhone 2.0 will be launched in time for Christmas and all of the add-ons, like the GPS will be 'standard' on the V2 phone.

I still don't know how to save #s in my cell phone and I'm running out of room to learn any more New Crap.
