Err no, I did not buy the iPhone to show off. In fact, why would anyone buy something for the main purpose of showing off? What is in iPhone that is not in other gadget? Hmm, the coolest thing about the iPhone is its very very intuitive user interface, something that you can't really feel when you're looking at pictures/reading reviews until you've actually tried using it.


Other key features: the best web browser around (WM Internet Explorer doesn't even come close), multitouch, lots of cool 3rd party apps that works great with multitouch (Tap Tap Revolution, NES emulator etc), the iPod interface, plus, coming in June, the App Store!! I can go on but I think it's enough haha..


As for the "curse", haha, I actually tend to not use it in front of my friends for fear of being branded a "show-off". All that attention is really unnecessary..

Hahahaha ... thats why i use capsule black color so people would think its another PDA phone. Don't like to show off or anything. Later if got the attention from 'inappropriate' people lagi susah. But my office mate like to play games on it especially the weSpot and pool. They play until the battery gone half.

haha. i am using the capsule black too and previously i am using Atom so look almost the same at a glance. i had no problem in handling the pressure.

Anyone that got the phone just to "show off" is definitely an attention seeker. I fell in love with the phone coz I feel no other phone capable of doing what iPhone can do. The technology, the design and the functionality is more appealing as a fresh invention rather that a show off gadget.

True totally agree

iPod is also normal nowadays..Nothing to show off also..haha

Sumtimes in malls u can see those teenagers showing off their latest phones by listening to mp3 songs with loud volume...Maybe u can 'show off' ur iPhone in those places..haha..

Yeah, i feel the prssure too, when i USE my normal candybar phone the iphone style aka 1 hand 1 finger. People see see is not an iphone.

maybe u need to stop reading bout that, and start playing one by yourself. not forcing though, but once u use it u'll love it (ermmm...depends la...). no need other people to justify any product, experience one by yourself and then u have your very right to say whether it's a great phone or it's just a wow phone for show off.

iPhone is not only about the specs on the paper. before this most of people compare the specs based on the feature list, like when u r purchasing a computer. but for iPhone, it's a different world apart! the OS itself is very different from other phones in market.

oww...if u still wanna look it from the side of it's technical spec, iPhone is driven by a powerful Samsung ARM11 processor 620MHz or 667 MHz (i dunno which one), which is one of the most powerful ARM processor available.

mmm, the "show off" part is another bonus of possessing an iPhone, but that doesn't really matters now coz it's not that exclusive as before.

btw, depends on how u r using the phone in our daily life la. different people, different opinion rite? as for me, iPhone fits my usage pattern and yeah it works for me.

Oh no that's one of the things I fear about getting something new.. Later lend here lend there until lost ._.

there are so many touching it, my 2weeks screen protector didn't last. i think i will get iShield and vibe duo so my iphone safely in my pocket.

@Vor,
You don't have to be so nice and allow them to carress ur baby

lol...i tot what's this thread all about..for me,it's just normal thing la,if u're using rare species of phone...nothing to fear laa...just give them to try.no problem.usually my phone batt only tahan less than a day..many hands touching2 the phone..usually ppl excited of killing ants inside the phone.hahaa...btw,i think right now,ok edi..not like last few months back.

i temporarily quit WoW to play,learn,update,learn commands etcs on my iPhone..and loving every minute of it..no epic also ok..

attention well yes but dont get the "wrong" attention..ppl tend to assume u hv lots of money if u hv iPhone.. we dont want this wrong attention turning into bad situation aka rob, kill, kidnap then ask ransom from your parents..

do give loves to your gf as well..coz she's been there before u hv your iPhone..if u dont want your gf install drop & copy so u can share with others joking ah bro..jgn marah nanti kena jual

anyway WHERE IS THE PICTURE OF YOUR iSTYLES SKIN? u promise bro!

Wait 6 months, then it's not so special anymore, just another iPhone among so many.

well is true iPhones does attract some ppl...but it also attracts dangerous ppl..~ get what i mean...

where i kepy my iPhone safely in my pocket all the time not showing out most of the time if im not picking up a call....

i hope incomming calls do ring when pretty chick around me kaka

iPhone has the coolest gui interface ever! & it's fool-proof as well.

Back then when I had SE P990, my friends played around with it until the phone settings got scrambled real bad.

Unlike the iPhone which doesn't have much settings to mess with....

fool proof? you sure? i doubt that ..

@Choongster,
I think he meant that the iPhone's very user friendly Probably even your grandmother can use it

yeah i think so. but more accurately that should be dubbed as "idiot-proof".

Exactly. That's why it didn't come with a manual, which you don't really need.
