QUOTE (Hartmann @ Jul 6 2007, 11:05 AM)  What are you basing your # of crashes research on? My MacBook Pro has crashed one time since I bought it a year ago and I hardly turn it off. And, the reason it crashed was because I installed something that expressly said "don't install on a MBP" but since I am hard headed I did it anyway. i think he meant maybe that it would hardly crash -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

Except how many versions of the RAZR have they made, and it's still a complete piece of shit??
QUOTE (Hartmann @ Jun 27 2007, 12:56 PM) I can say that a lot of people will buy one because it's the "cool" thing to do but I'll let those people be my test guinea pigs, just like the first buyers of the RAZR.

"The iPhone's battery is apparently soldered on inside the device and cannot be swapped out by the owner like most other cell phones.
Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Hakes said Thursday the company posted the battery replacement details on its Web site last Friday after the product went on sale. Users would have to submit their iPhone to Apple for battery service. The service will cost users $79, plus $6.95 for shipping, and will take three business days. The procedure is similar to the one it has for the company's best-selling iPod players, but because some users will not want to live without their cell phones, Apple is also offering a loaner iPhone for $29 while the gadget is under repair." ~ From the above link so about $115 on top of the original price (which is still way too much for a damn phone). your really getting a good value there

I saw a hippie on the elevator with an iPhone this morning... If I have to be associated with that group of people, I won't buy one.

But did he smell like he hadn't showered in weeks? Tricksy people have ways of making looks appear one way while reality is another.

just got mine in and got it working.
activation through itunes was a breeze. i wish all phone activation was as easy. my first impressions are positive. it's the prefect size. any bigger and it would be bulky. any smaller and it would be clumsy. the touch screen works smoothly, with the exception of fingerprints. the texting keyboard is a bit small but easy to use and i've had probably about 90% success rate. i think i type faster on it than i did on my blackberry pearl. i'll get better with practice. i haven't had a chance to put pictures, videos, or music on it yet. but the youtube, weather, stocks, and maps app work flawlessly. the safari internet is nice. the edge network is a bit slow, but withstandable. i don't browse the net much on my phone anyway. one thing is i can't seem to figure out how to turn the phone to all vibrate. i'm sure there's a way, i'm just being retarded. overall...

i have the cingular 8125, the touch screen dirtiness is not really a big deal, i guess maybe if you are particularly greasy . . .
i like it because of the wifi-ness, and it only cost me 75-ish. i mean, maybe my phone is not as cool and it does not have a pretty gui and it can only hold 2gigs but i think it is much better than the iphone. /shrug |
