That is going to be the hardest message for Apple to convey to consumers.
If one is shopping for a 'phone', this isn't it.

So why did I just buy an ipod?


Also is this only to be through AT@T or will VERIZON get it as well?

BDx13 - 6-4-2007 at 04:44 PM

which ipod did you get? the iPone has the same amount of memory as the nanos (4gb, 8gb), but a price higher than their most expensive ipod.

it's exclusive to at&t for five years.

AT&T has an exclusive on it for 5 years. Stick with your iPod anyway. This iPhone costs $599 with a required 2 year contract for an 8gb model ($499 for 4gb)...for the price it doesn't have a lot of storage space.

Fuck this hipster phone

BDx13 - 6-4-2007 at 06:38 PM

Really? Huh, would've never thought so. But yeah this phone is a waste of $ and only hipsters would buy it. And I'm sorry to hear you wear Mandals BD.

^^^^^^^ I got the 30GB black. Its pissing me off becaue of the car issues. Terrible interference, bulky holder and charger. Cigarette lighter plugin sucks.

All I wanted was a plug into directly with the stereo. No jack in my car stereo. And aparently the dealership can't get one. The can however install something that will fix the reception but the ipod wil be stored int he glove box and you use the car stereo as a controller. Sucks because you get no album cover, no song titles, and no record info. So its a crapshoot to find what it is you will want to listen to. Defeats the purpose of having a freaking ipod.

I had a thread of this a 2 weeks ago but if anyone has any other ideas pass them on. I think I have exusted every option I have right now though.

haha, ok, you caught me.
i work in technology, so i follow this stuff.
as dope as i think the iphone is and as many people as i know who will buy one, i will not.
am i pretty a frugal person. not to say i won't spend, but the deal's gotta be right. and with the first iteration of any apple product, the deal is never right. in a few years, the price will be down, features up, and my sprint contract expired...then i'll consider it.

as for the footwear, no mandles. strictly flipflops and strictly around the house. as i mentioned in the other thread, i gotta show off my beautifully tattooed feet!

I'd buy it but I don't want to go with Atnt. It's better than a blackberry and costs about the same. with a blackberry you pay for use by bandwidth through the phonelines, this uses wifi which means it's a net surfing laptop you can use wherever a signal is available.

Im always behind the times so maybe I'll finally have one in 10 years.

in America all BlackBerry data plans are unlimited. T-Mobile's is only $19.99 for unlimited. You guys in Canada get ripped off on that capped 20mb a month shit.

Anyway, I'd like to play around with the iPhone but I don't think I'd buy one. I prefer BlackBerry, I buy every new one that comes out.

mother fucker.

Cell phones suck.
