SO using it.

You can do that without the handheld diarreah known as the iPhone.

I have the touch, I like it.

[Mad3711]

Touch is a bit less fale. iPhone is just retarded, though.

Why don't you like the iPhone?

I was thinking of getting one.

[Mad3711]

It's a blatant ripoff because of the price and the strings that come attached with it. There are much better alternatives for the same price or cheaper. If you feel like reading for 5 minutes before dishing out $500 + dollars, here are some links you should check out.

Wow, what a joke.

The cost isnt an issue for me, as I can get it cheap (plus im rich). The things I like about the iPhone are:

*Touchscreen
*Internet Browsing (here in the UK i would get free web browsing anywhere in the UK)
*GPS thing (i wouldnt use it much but i think its nifty)
*iPod built in

thats actually quite a ****ty list, but thats all i really need. however looking at whats bad:

*Crappy 2MP camera, cannot record video
*no mms (i have never used mms even on my previous phone, but its stupid to not have it on the iphone)
*no mp3 as ringtone (can't this be hacked?)
*non removable battery, low life after heavy usage

thats really the only problems that i have with it.. i think i can live without those. i mean its still way better then my samsung E900, it does everything it can do plus a little bit more (plus i would pay exactly the same per month as i already do).

That's a nice list there. You could get something that does all of that for cheaper. Also OS on it takes about a gig so you're getting a 7gig ipod and that's if you only put music on it. Pretty sh*t if you ask me for $599. For rich people like you money isn't an issue but still, no need to donate it to Apple. Get yourself something more powerful for that money.

Those are great reasons to not buy an iPhone, because almost every competitor in that niche doesn't have those issues for less of a price. You're paying for the brand name, basically.

Could you recommend anything that actually looks like a phone? I looked at the Nokia N800 and it is so ****ing ugly i would be embarassed to carry that around with me lol.

[YonderKnight]

The idea of having an mp3 player builtin to a phone sounds kind of crappy to me, especially when you can't have a spare battery with it. I can imagine your battery dying when you need it the most....

You forgot one.
The iPhone is a piece of ****, and so is your face.

In all seriousness, if you have alot to spend on a phone, I don't think the iphone is really that bad of a choice, especially if you don't care about the cons you listed.

Also, mad. Alot of people pay extra for apple products because of the way they are designed (artistically) They are willing to pay extra for something that is more esthetically pleasing. Just look at any apple product and you can see that they spend much more time on the looks of their products than many other electronics companies do.

Here's a good list.
Top Ten List of iPhone Competitors : Specs, reviews and prices.


Buy a better device, then spend some money and buy some furniture from ikea if you're in it for the aesthetics.

How the f*ck isn't the iPhone a bad choice for that money? What are you getting for that money? I'd rather spend 600 and get 2 of the iPhone competitors. Then I can be like, one's for my boys and ones for the ladies or some stupid sh*t like that.
