there a differece between disputing that the iPhone is a great, innovative product and disputing that it is THE INVENTION OF THE YEAR.

if that's the "invention of the year" it's been a fucking sad year!!!

Sigh. Even more hype for the iPhone. w00t.

Yeah, honestly, if iPhone is best invention this year, then the second best invention must be along the lines of a redesigned Coca-Cola can.

I dun agree with the fact that iphone is the best innovation of the year...but I love my iphone

Nokia e70? Are you kidding me?

I wouldn't use this brick of shit if you paid for the phone, and the bills.

Also, have you seen browsing the web on an iPhone? It's nothing like shitberry, or any other phone for that matter. Website are also making iPhone versions of thier sites, and they look just as amazing on the computer, as the iPhone (iphone.foodnetwork.com).

And yes, to top it all of, the iPhone looks fucking good, and it will only get better. You can hate Apple all you want, but when it comes down to it, their stuff looks fucking good, and people want to show it off.

yeah but it could have been soooooo much better.


i mean it is amazing. but the fact that it's locked into AT&T. plus the slower network. i mean there is lots of room for improvement and i bet the improvements will come so fast we won't even know what hit us.

You missed the point. The E70 has had almost all of the "inventions" of the iPhone a year earlier. The fact that it looks a lot worse (I agree it looks like shit) is irrelevant while we're discussing inventions. "Good Design and better marketing" is not invention, nor even innovation. It's just improving on what's already out there. Imagine if you were Edison, and you invented the lightbulb, then a few years later Steve Jobs comes along, paints your invention in "brilliant white", and wins "invention of the year", and everybody goes nuts over it. I imagine you'd be pretty pissed. People who have actually been following the cellphone technologies know that there's nothing groundbreaking (besides design) that the iPhone brings to the table over all other cellphones released previously. But people who got their cellphone for $0 through Rogers are the ones who are going apeshit over the iPhone. Apple basically cashed in on the average NA cellphone user's ignorance about what else is out there.

And if you understood anything about software standards, you'd know that "iPhone" versions of websites are actually a step backwards, not forwards. It's just another stupid web coding standard that will divide the web when we should be uniting it. We had WAP for a reason; it's fucking called Wireless Application Protocol, and it was open so that EVERYBODY had a standard by which to code their mobile websites. Now mobile web developers have to write separate code exclusively for the people who use iPhones. This is just stupid - the iPhone web standard is the equivalent of that pain-in-the-ass kid on the playground who insists that everybody should play on HIS terms, without regard for anyone else.

Fine, the E70 may have most of the 'inventions' in the iPhone, but saying that good design (especially of a product that you will use everyday) is irrelevant is completely absurd. The fact of the matter is, Nokia have done it first, but Apple did it better. Start with the actualy physical appearance the phones, and we can both agree that E70 looks terrible, and the iPhone doesn't, right down to the actual GUI.

"Improving on whats out there". So you agree then, that Apple has done it better? Design wise, marketing wise, and actually making people want it?

In that case, Edison made a light bulb, broke it to pieces, and said "here, put it together".

Hate on the iPhone all you want, as a new G is rolled out it will be improved even to meet the most anal demands.

Honestly, tell me that you would use that piece of shit (E70) over an iPhone. If they're both sub-par with the technology, which one would you choose?

The screens are cracking from the air pressure during flights & etc.

The NES Emulator, it's on every PDA phone. No biggie

I hate the fact the iPhone's apps must be first party ... meaning only Apple can make the software for it and you have to buy it. Your paying so much already, the iPhone should have GPS. Google maps, everyone has google maps on their comp and phones.
