and i hear they're thinking of doing a "nano-version" of the iphone

so you can pay 300 bucks to have even less features!

heheh you knew that would come... once the hype wanes down the iphone mini and iphone ultra version 2 in glossy black or somethin would come out.

cmac how's it goin so far with it?

best phone i've ever had. i now type faster texting than i did on my blackberry pearl.
the smart recognition feature of the characters works flawlessly. i could type a word that looks something like this: jkdfabeel;o and the feature will suggest the right word.
i don't like that i can't send texts to multiple people and that there is no MMS.
the internet is a little slow, but being able to view the real internet, and not some scaled down version is great. plus it's the only phone i've been able to access myspace on.
the special attention to details is great. the way it syncs via itunes. the way a call comes in when i'm listening to music. just the little things are awesome.
i'm scared i'm going to drop it, but, so far, so good.

oh and the camera takes better photos than my canon.
although there is no zoom or flash.

will it blend?

anandtech.com on comparing power consumption on 3G vs. EDGE (the reason Jobs gave for not going with 3G).

a guy here in the office got an iphone and i messed around with it. pretty awesome interface. i just don't like that the thing is so locked down. it also doesn't seem to do anything my windows mobile 5 phone cant do. he says he can't get it to work with our exchange server, and i really don't like that fact that you can't just plug it into your comp and see it as a drive and browse the files that way.

i gotta give em credit though, the interface is very nice.

I sat in the Apple store for about an hour with my Treo out and the iPhone on display... I did some different things, trying to see how the interface compared.

I loved the scrolling with my finger but noticed that different screens reacted differently to the scroll. Also, I think anything should be able to go into landscape mode, not just the things that Apple has specified.

The keyboard is usable but again, landscape mode would be nice so that I could use a larger keyboard.

I played around with an iPhone for about an hour a couple days ago. Have to say, I was surpisingly impressed. I didnt think the phone was going to function so well. The touch screen is amazing. As others have said, even though the keyboard is small, it still predicts pretty accurately what you trying to hit. I think its a little complicated for everyday use though.... but perhaps thats because Im not much of a pda person. There were a few little things I did not like, but all in all I had a good first impression of it. Dont think I would ever buy one though. Id be afraid of dropping it. Additionally, Im still skeptical of the long-run performance of the phone. Like how well will the phone hold up after a year or two?

another reason

fuck waiting in line twelve hours.

i took an online typing test.
i type 39 wpm on iPhone.

I have a question about the visual voicemail... Since you can technically fill up your inbox and there is no auto-deletion of messages, is there a way to "archive" old messages through iTunes? Like pull a few of the voicemails off of the phone and put them on your computer to make room?

no

went for $901

the 8125 can take high-capacity SD cards, I think they make 4gb right now. Also, you don't have to type with the screen, so less smudging.




What the fuck is all this "real internet" bullshit I keep hearing about? Every smartphone/WM device has been able to do this for years, and I heard someone saying the other day that the iphone didn't even support fucking JAVA. JAVA!

besides, with EDGE's slow-ass speeds compared to EVDO Rev. A, you might be better off with a condensed/mobile version of certain sites anyways.

it displays a web page just like it would on an actual computer. not a css-less list bullet form of a web page like every other phone. myspace is a good example. much easier to read, especially having such a big screen.
EDGE isn't that big of a deal. it's never slow for me and using the faster connection just uses more battery , which is why Jobs decided not to use it. I use the WiFi a lot anyway.
