Sometimes you just want a product that just works without spending a bunch of time figuring out how to make it do everything. Some things, I like digging into and learning how to tweak it... others I see as appliances and just want them to do their job. I'm beginning to think a phone should fall into the appliance category.

 

I don't know Erick, what you say makes sence, but the rom kitchens have come a long way since the 6700 you have now. I loaded one ROM and it has worked flawlessly since day one. No hangs, no soft resets, nothing.

Play with mine tonight, or Steve's after I flash it.

 

Yeah, I too think, the whole "i" in Apple products is a little overplayed, but I have to disagree with you about the iPhone. Feature-wise, it is not all that, the Sony Xperia leaves it in the dust. However, usability-wise, there is no comparable phone, and since I think usability is very important, I think it does deserve some recognition for innovations and pushing the envelope.

 

Well, it is like the relationship between the US and Japan in some respects.

The US invents something, like television, and Japan makes it better.


The iPhone started with some new good ideas, other phones have improved upon those ideas. the only thing I wish my touch had that it doies not is an accelrometer. I can live without that though.


What options for push email does the iPhone have?

 

I believe it has the same options any other direct push capable phone does. Apple licensed ActiveSync from MS.

"I" have had enough of this "I" crap.


It's like those little rubber band bracelets that everyone wore a few years ago. spend a dollar to buy a yellow one and you are all of a sudden a champion fighter against cancer. Give me a break. the iPhone and everything else with an "i" in it is another "look at me" product and bigtime bandwagon!

the iPhone is great for people who want to feel like they are cutting edge but have no real tech savy. I don't know how Julius fell into this because I know he has plenty of tech knowledge.
but wait there's more

 

Iphone> all usa phones

GSM FTW!!!!

 

dave, do you even have an iPhone? Or just the iPod touch?

 

i need to find me iphone used for sale!!

 

I have 2 itouchs 8gb and 16gb and had an iphone this morning..... i was at att store this morning. I left it there

I just like razzin you all up

But if i needed a phone right now i would buy the iphone the sheer speed of the interface and the simplicity of use wins me over. It really the same as the itouch other than voice and the itouch has been a stellar performer for me. You prob do not realize a lot of my post one here come from my itouch. Its fast! Kenta will attest to the interface, also i think all the other guys out there are johnny come latelys basically trying to copy what the iphone innovated. So for me the original is the win. My current phone is a samsung blackjack another stellar performer it is the blackjack 1 and hacked also.

Now no ill admit i dont use this push mail and gps maps no, so i cant speak for those features.

Remember what i said above, regarding the post. Its all in fun to razz you guys up!
