:lol: :lol: classic

I saw something on the news about them last night... It takes like 5 steps to get to your address book and make a call... I think it's less phone and more iPod... It does feature a multi-touch screen which is TOTALLY BADASS... There is no way I could justify spending $5-600 on it though... especially considering you need to sign up with a 2yr contact with ATT...

F that POS!!!

I'm the type that waits to see if they work right. I'll let the other fools spend the big money while I wait for the price to come down.

The only way to make it quicker is to go to a Hotspot to use it, but then you've gotta subscribe to a regular ISP for it as well, to the tune of an add'l $40+ per month. No thanks! :lol:

Like I said..... POS!!! :lol: Gee, tell us how ya REALLY feel about it... ;) I think it looks pretty cool, actually, but I won't get one. Just don't NEED it. I've got a great phone, I've got an MP3 player, and I despise iTunes anyway. :idk:

I'm the type that waits to see if they work right. I'll let the other fools spend the big money while I wait for the price to come down. :iagree:

I saw lines of people camped outside the AT&T store here waiting to get one. I personally think it's retarded, and I will wait to see if they live up to the hype and for the price to drop.

This is not a phone. It's media device that happens to make phone calls.

I want one regardless :p: I aint however paying $500 for it :lol:

I want one regardless :p: I aint however paying $500 for it :lol: I ain't paying for one regardless :P :whistle: I'll keep my crappy Nextel

F that phone and F the media giving it real news attention. First the Paris SKANK Hilton's Earth Shattering and Terrible breaking news and NOW THIS CRAP! SERIOUSLY, the people running these news stations need to pull their head out of their arses!! Sorry marko!

the phone is kewl. the media sux and has since it started worrying about $$$$ than reporting the truth. I mean :wtf: gave 2 chyts about paris or Anna Nichol or, or, or, or,or ,or, or......

F that POS!!! Haaaater...U know u want one:lol: I saw lines of people camped outside the AT&T store here waiting to get one. I personally think it's retarded, and I will wait to see if they live up to the hype and for the price to drop. :crazy: It's crazy isnt? these peeps that go camp out in line for the next greatest gizmo:bonk: even crazier is the idiots they sell it to on ebay that will pay 1000% markup:bonk: :crazy:

I'm anti-hype, if everyone says something is awesome I tend to think the opposite, I don't own any apple products and don't plan to. Got this list of iphone faults from another forum; 1. Bluetooth is ONLY good for connecting a headset. That's it. 2. There is no file browser on the device at all. Data must be organized (if at all) in the appropriate application. 3. The camera is a simple application that has ONE button: the shutter. Pictures come out okay on the device, but nothing too fancy on a monitor, especially if it was an attempt at a macro shot. 4. SIM card is damn near impossible to open, if at all. I didn't look into it extensively. 5. Web browser is slow, even over WLAN. Even the simple OneList web app that was created takes around 20 seconds to load over WLAN. You can not highlight, cut, copy, or paste and text from a website, and you can not save any images you find from a website either. The only nice thing about it is the tabbed browsing, which crashed on me when I went to Engadget and YouTube on two tabs. This is the only application that allows you to use the keyboard in landscape mode. 6. The keyboard sucks. It gets slightly better after the iPhone "learns" you, as the employees said, but even then, it's not a device you can use with one hand comfortably, much less without looking. 7. You can only send one picture at a time in an email. 8. No custom ringtones (yet, as we were being told) and the alert tones can not be changed whatsoever. 9. The default ringtones are incredibly lame. 10. The only form of customization outside of a lame default ringtone is the wallpaper, which you'll only see when you need to unlock the device or when you get a phone call. 11. "Picture pinching" or using two fingers to zoom on any content is certainly fun to play with, but not practical whatsoever. This operation depends solely on using the device with two hands. 12. No document editor or native viewer. You can not store documents on the device to be viewed, they can only be viewed as attachments when they're sent to your in an email. 13. Visual voicemail is laggy and reacts about the same way as pushing the fast forward and rewind buttons on traditional voicemail systems. The only advantage is for those that get that many voicemail messages a day that they need to sort them according to priority. 14. NO games. None. 15. No voice dialing. 16. No speed dialing (which can be made up by the "quick list", but getting to that quick list isn't as fast as holding a single key on a real keypad). 17. No video. 18. No MMS. 19. It's still <4GB for $500 and <8GB for $600 20. It only takes around 2 hours to explore every menu without any options for expandability except to scrounge around for new web apps that will load slowly and nowhere near as smoothly as the native apps.

I'm ashamed to admit.... I know someone who bought one. A friend of ours confessed Friday that he got it. I think he just ordered it online (didn't stand in line for 27 hours or anything)... but alas, he bought one nonetheless. :lol: :leaving:

Congrads on the phone...

Yea,I know a couple guys that have them. They didn't wait in line tho',we have a friend who works for Cingular/ATT(he got me my Jawbone headset for $50). I guess they're kind of cool but I still like my Sprint Samsung Upstage better. I bought the 2g card which is plenty of music for me at one time. Hell,I loaded my entire ICP collection onto it and in two weeks I don't think I've heard every song. Anyway,I paid $99 and it's good enough for me!

My husband and I went to dinner on Thursday night...afterwards we walked around the shops that are there. We walked by AT&T and there were at least 30 people waiting outside. This was at about 10pm Thursday night. :willy: I have no idea how long they had to wait for the store to actually start selling them. :willy: No thanks! The only phones I use are $0-$25...my current one was a hand-me down Razr from my sister. I have much better things to spend my money on...like shoes! :leaving:

No thanks! The only phones I use are $0-$25...my current one was a hand-me down Razr from my sister. I have much better things to spend my money on...like shoes! :leaving: I hate my Razr, it is not a good phone and not great to text with. I am looking into a phone with a keyboard, but not this one, as it is not a phone really!

I hate my Razr, it is not a good phone and not great to text with. I am looking into a phone with a keyboard, but not this one! I hate my Razr too! And I hate texting on it too! :cry: Lately my phone has been "freezing"...it just stops and none of the button works. I need a new one but I am on my sister's plan and would have to pay a lot to get one. :cursin:

I'm all about my i580. military spec rubberized shell FTW!! http://www.motorola.com/mot/image/14/14108_MotImage.jpg Delicate phones are for girls and rich people.

F that phone and F the media giving it real news attention. First the Paris SKANK Hilton's Earth Shattering and Terrible breaking news and NOW THIS CRAP! SERIOUSLY, the people running these news stations need to pull their head out of their arses!! Sorry marko! Don't apologize to me brother. I don't make the decisions. I just shoot video. :idk: Brutha's gotta get paid. BTW....ladies...I like my Razr. :idk:

I hate phones, I don't use my ipod hardly ever, and I really dont want another organizer because I didnt use the expensive one someone bought me for a graduation. This phone would be a huge waste of money for me.

I hate my Razr too! And I hate texting on it too! :cry: Lately my phone has been "freezing"...it just stops and none of the button works. I need a new one but I am on my sister's plan and would have to pay a lot to get one. :cursin: I am on my thrid one on this contract. All 3 have had this buzzing while I am on the phone. One froze up like you are saying, and the other one would turn it's self off. Problem is phones with the slide out keyboards are $$$.

BTW....ladies...I like my Razr. :idk: Maybe I just have an old cruddy one...who knows. My sister replaced the battery three times before I got it and now I have a battery that does not allow me to put the back face plate on...but at least I can make more than one call before having to charge the battery! :willy: I am on my thrid one on this contract. All 3 have had this buzzing while I am on the phone. One froze up like you are saying, and the other one would turn it's self off. Problem is phones with the slide out keyboards are $$$. I do not need a keyboard...just a text "system" (whatever you want to call it) that is easy to use. I only use my phone to make the occassional call and to text. In fact I pretty much hate cell phones...but like having it in case something happens to may car. I would rather have a home phone and a phone that just calls AAA in my glove box. :lol:

I am on my thrid one on this contract. All 3 have had this buzzing while I am on the phone. One froze up like you are saying, and the other one would turn it's self off. Problem is phones with the slide out keyboards are $$$. Verizon has a great phone that flips up to become a phone or flips sideways to be a keyboard. It's been out there for a while so the price has come down alot. The only thing is i think its' only available through CDMA formats.

This is not a phone. It's media device that happens to make phone calls. Same with my Treo....:dthumb:

gotta love my sidekick :cheers:

I think the first person to get one on here should some how be banned from viewing TWF from their computer and must use their Iphone when browsing the forum and posting :)

I have the LG EnV from Verizon. I love it. Havent had any problems with it and the pictures from the camera are money! battery life is very good as well, I think I get about 48 hours out of it before it actually dies completely, and that is with moderate use.

BTW....ladies...I like my Razr. :idk: :iagree: :withstupi Great phone, no problems. On my second one (dropped one in the toilet... :lol:) over 3 years.

:iagree: :withstupi Great phone, no problems. On my second one (dropped one in the toilet... :lol:) over 3 years. I had a razr as well but spilled some tasty beverage on it and needed to buy a new phone. It was either buy a new Razr or opt for the EnV that had just come out. I went with the new enV.

I got the new Razr Maxx Ve. I like it pretty well, the only complaint I have is the speaker is not loud enough and I am constantly asking people to speak louder on it, I noticed this problem on the regular Razrs as well.

I'm sick of cell phones PERIOD. I'm thinking of going Unabomber and anti-tech all out. Except for the internet, of course. :whistle: Seriously, I'm so sick and tired of receiving calls while I'm on the crapper, eating, mowing, swimming, whatever. My damn phone isn't a phone, but a leash tied directly to my wife and job. I love flying because I have a legitimate excuse to turn the damn thing off. Aaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhh:cursin:

I have nextel! So I can't have one of those cute tiny phones. I have the motorola i870 which looks like this: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x299/wireless_toyz_377/motorola-i870-g.jpg Its a nice phone. I got it off ebay since nextel wanted 499 for it. I payed around 230 shipped.

Sanyo Katana for Sprint..it pwns all those Razors. Same size, with better features and more user friendly.

I have the Shine, (aka 8700) by LG for Verizon. Had a Razr and Krazr, both sucked donkey balls. Love my LG, and the stainless steel look is sweet! http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1104

iphone is way overhyped. thats a ridiculous price to pay I have the Shine, (aka 8700) by LG for Verizon. Had a Razr and Krazr, both sucked donkey balls.

That's one of the reasons I got it. Only part that's bad is the actual screen. :2cents:

I looked at both the 8700 and the new Razr. Went with the new Razr, me likes it better. http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1024

I just don't have good luck with Motorola. It's like the power button on any one I get is wired up to a self destruct sequence. :idk: Nokia was like that for me. I have had 3 motorolas in a row and they all have lasted me my full contract term without trouble.

Will it Blend?? eNzyVIhnnDU

gotta love my sidekick :cheers: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: Love mine too.

Will it Blend?? :baha:

:baha: :iagree: that chit was great. mmmmm iphone milkshake...

Will it Blend?? eNzyVIhnnDU :lol: I am really surprised at how long it stayed on... and you know... Just about EVERYTHING will blend...

Did you get one? I want one but I'm not up to upgrade til Feb.

They deff didnt overhype it all its the next new thing. The REAL webbrowsing sells the thing alone. You really gotta play with one to appreciate it. The webpages load pretty quick too.
