after seeing the new TV ads, my poison for iphone has come back...

yea... compared to other phones at the same price, i lost interest in the iphone.. but after watching the new ads, i want one...

steve jobs really knows how to sell his products.. haha

i think he's trying to say that it doesn't come with a HARDCOPY manual.
they are all online..
and to go online, u need a PC... which is also needed to do anything and everything that is related to your iphone.

i dun see the iphone as a phone at all..
seriously, its just a glorified ipod..
and knowing that, I STILL WANT ONE !!!!
damn.. steve jobs knows how to sell his products....

yea.. its a glorified ipod more than a phone..
it has the most basic phone features...
quad-gsm, edge... thats it
no removable battery.. no expandable memory slot...

to me, and i'm sorry iphone fans, its a ipod to rival that creative zen media player or whatever they call it except that its also a phone.

i can't believe i'm saying this eventhough i'm one of those crazy ones that want one iphone....

i mean u said it yourself,
1. they dun use a crappy player like nokia and SE
2. cover flow feature
3. bigger screen for videos
4. touch screen to touch music

i'm sorry if i'm turning your words but i'm not.. you did type it yourself... and these features, do not make it a phone... its an ipod, with phone features...

and i still want one......

lol.. i know what u mean...
but seriously, when u do look at it from a consumer standpoint for it to be a mobile phone, it really isn't much of a mobile phone compared to what nokia or SE has accomplished...

but if u look at it as a media player, ITS GREAT !!!!

but when u weight the features of the iphone, between multimedia and being a mobile phone, the weightage goes more to it being a multimedia device... more to it being a glorified ipod..

and not to say it can do stuff a windows mobile PDA phone can do. Those are basically a mobile desktop. the Iphone, really doesn't have much going for it other than its enchanced ipod experience and doubling as a phone, plus the damn coool design and interface. Which is enough to drag buyers in.... including me...

and since its US, the most exposed phone to them is motorola... that is their benchmark of phones which explains the iphone... in US, it makes perfect sense.. but elsewhere, it really doesn't because we have such a huge market with phone capable of doing much more PHONE related stuff.

u guys can flame me but this is seriously my two cents on the iphone...
given that i have the money, i would buy it. i really would.. but if i had the money to choose only an iphone or a pda phone, i think i would be better off with a pda phone

lol....
and once again, u said it, they design the iphone based on the knowledge they have on the ipod.. sleek edges, compact design...

people say its either love or hate..
i love and hate the iphone at the same time...

goooood one..
lol...
quite speechless already...
phone related stuff, removable battery, expandable memory.. all these are very much liked... freedom to use the expandable memory not only in your phone but other devices..

also, like the iphone, everything has to be done through your computer... which if u are on holiday, and wiht no laptop, can be quite a pain..

but u see, it goes back to my main point... its just a glorified ipod.. the multimedia features, are ipod features...

its the same like a pda phone.. its basically a normal pda, an organizer, but with added phone features...

basically, yea its an ipod with phone functionality in the same way a PDA phone is a PDA wiht phone functionality...

the thing that annoys me is that the features are lagging behind phones produced outside of US like 3g and a front camera.

problem is, does Jobs realise that his product will be sold at places that aren't America ? where we have 3G and they don't ? where we have much more phones that can do much more ?

if he does, then there is hope for the 2nd Gen iphone...
pray he does make it happen....
still, they didn't mention when in 2008

damn
USD399..
now its a must have...

damn i'm jealous..
someone here in the forum doing a bulk..
RM2.5 for one...
crazy...
i also heard some handphone shop in Subang parade carrying it for 2.3k...

yeap...
but think about it, this update, only itunes wifi store..
i don't know about u guys, but i don't need it... haha
