So, Who's Getting the New iPhone When it Debuts on the 29th?

Recommended Posts

So, I'm sure some folks have their calendars marked, maps listing the fastest way to their closest AT&T Wireless store or agent location...you know...

I have an iPod, and have no interest in leaving Verizon to get the phone. Besides, I think people will be disappointed in the lack of tactile feedback -- having no keys to push, etc.

So, who's ready? :P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I bet Peter is all over this... :D



I just got the "NV" from LG - It will be a while before I switch to another phone.

I just don't need all the bells and whistles... I don't need a camera, an MP3 player or internet access... just a good loud ringer, quad band and voice command dialing. Small enough to comfortably carry in a pants pocket is a plus.

I'm well-satisfied with my Moto PEBL for now...

Well the NV has GPS and out in the country when you have truckers trying to find your job site you can find where they are and guide them in.

Okay, how about now?? The hat is the seller for me...:D

In all seriousness, apparently they upped the specs regarding battery life. Up to 8 hours of talk time...pretty impressive by any standard.

Garmin - bigger screen and not draining the phone battery.

Of course, if the restraining order says you HAVE to let the cops know where you are at all times.... :D;):P

Seriously, though... before too long the damn things are going to pick up the local TV channels, too...if they don't already!

No 3g? No real keyboard? No real software development? No swappable battery?

No way.

Maybe down the road, but not as it stands now. Also, as an Apple authorized service technician, and a Mac user for over two decades: There is no fucking way I will ever buy a Generation I Apple product. You'd be a fool to.

The camera is shit on the N95. High res, sure, but not particularly impressive. Furthermore, it's not all about the touch screen or the features. It's the UI, the usability, and the design that matter for a lot of people.

Apple is upping the stakes, looks like!!

From the AP:

Quote

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) -- The eagerly awaited iPhone will be able to play Youtube videos when it ships next week, Apple Inc. announced Wednesday.

About 10,000 Youtube videos will be available for the iPhone's launch, according to Apple's release. YouTube, a subsidiary of Google Inc., will be recoding the rest of its videos into the H.264 format used by the iPhone by fall.

What's going to suck most about that, is users are going to be going nuts handling video like that with a crap-EDGE-connection...:P

I predict we may see photos of damaged wall from people throwing their phones...:D

Is there any word on when the iPhone will be usable with another carrier? I think it looks intriguing, but I will absolutely not give AT&T any of my business...I'd rather pay more elsewhere.
