Like it or not you apple haters.. the iphone is revolutionary.
This thing is unbeleivable. Ive got one and it DOESNT COMPARE AT ALL to the that is out there.
People here can continue to say "this company has this and that in their phones" but apple has PERFECTED everything and bunched it into one phone.
Its amazing how i can listen to ASOT while working out.. answer a phone call without taking off my earphones, and go back to ASOT without even touching a button.
Its also amazing how i can borwse the internet while listening to ASOT , answer a phone call, text message someone and check my email answer a call and then go back to listening to ASOT all at the same time. Oh yeah.. i can also take a picture while doing all this too.
Ive tested so many phones.. including the new Nokia N95 or whatever its called, the Treo's and HTC.. its LAUGHABLE when you compare them to the iphone.
STOP HATING...
oh and if you really have nice freinds.. you can add NINTENDO on your phone.. with 500 games on it.

im sure you had a touch senstive screen, an internet borwser that shows you the way the World wide web ACTUALLY looks whne you are on a computer... 8 gigs of storage, etc....
you people cannot stand the fact that this device has gone beyond everyones expectations.
Why are all phone companies scrambling to mimic this phone???
Stop hating guys.. this phone is really unbelievable |

i have 2 gigs of storage on my phone, touch sensitive screen, no and i dont want it, because like i said before its too sensitive, you drop your phone and it will crack. Yes i have world wide web as well, blackberries had access to that years before iphone came out. What else is so good about it? the way it looks? |

^^^^ What you're failing to grasp is that Apple invented none of the technologies contained within the iPhone. At best it's an innovation, and even that is questionable.

I had a blackberry... and the way the internet is shown is not the way the apple shows it.
Plus,.... many phones dont have WIfi like the iphone.. and the touch sensitive intelligence doesnt compare.
WHEN I MEAN TOUCH SENSITIVE.. not touch sensitive as in "oh .. theres an icon.. ill touch it and it will take me to my application"
you guys are in denial |

I dont care if apple didnt invent things.. the fact is.. the level of innovation in this phone made it so cool to use. Even most digital cameras dont have the option to scroll and zoom in and out with your fingers the pictures you have taken.. or even email those pics with such speed. |

I think what youre saying, and I agree, is that apple did not INVENT the mp3 player, the operating system or the phone. What they do (very well) is take existing and emerging technologies, blend them together with remarkably intuitive interfaces, sleek design and forward thinking (not to mention a kickass marketing department).
Someone once invented the wheel...then someone put a car on it...then another person made it into a time traveling deLorian...Each and every step is important. The iPhone has done for cell phones what the Ford Model T did for cars. |

exactly!!!
I dont buy things from a compnay based on the fact of whether they invented it...or base my assumptions on a product on irrelevant factors such as them "copying" ideas from other companies.
If the product is impressive to me.. i Buy the product becuase of what it has to offer. |

Another fanboy who is behind the times.
I have been playing NES, SNES, Sega, Genisis, Gamboy Advanced, and Quake on my pocket pc (or any smart phone with WM2003+) for the last 2 years.
If you actually find a feature that is not on other portable deviecs, come back, but please learn whats out there.

Again any PPC using Windows Mobile, can run Opera, which is just as good as iPhone's (stripped down)Safari browser. Opera even allows you to change your settings to fool webpages into thinking it's a desktop, so you can get at more content.
As for wifi, again, please do your research. Most smart phones now come with built in wifi (ex. Toshiba g900).
All of these smart phones, have a fully senstive touch screen. The entire surface area, entire resolution is availble for use by the finger. It is up to software coders to develop apps which take advantage of the extra input interface.
I have been using Resco software, which allows you to do anything with your picture. Crop, zoom, brighten, contrast...omg, all with your finger! Just use the touch screen!
Storage? How about actually putting an SD card slot in your iPhone, rather than being limited by the built in memory. If you want to give somebody else a picture, you need to hook up to a computer, or 'conveniently' email, or send a picture message ($$$).
If you want to make a point about how intuitive the interface is, please do so. If you want to compare features, then stop because we have seen everything before (yes even google maps). They created an INTERFACE, not a phone, or a set of bundled features. |

Your touch screen sucks, 2 gigs vs 8 (soon to be more). Your web browser is embarrassing, and last but not least, the OS on the phone isn't even comparable.
Sorry, it's a great device, it may not have every stat imaginable compared to other devices, it wins with the touch screen (which no other phone can compare to) when tied together with the OS on the phone. It's not the winner because it has a camera and has some applications on it. |
