View profile »Too bad the deal was only half-promised. Now Apple is blaming it's iphone German chipmaker -infenion brand-, while the chipmaker blames at&t, for its network (mis)handling of millions of NEW subscribers... Whatever the reason, 3G network simply DOESN'T WORK, for the amount of cost the iphone members are shelling out each month.

Some are speculating a SOFTWARE UPGRADE to fix the folly, while some are HOPING a iphone RECALL, to replace some faulty parts... should it ACTUALLY be proven faulty. Below are just one of many links regarding the Iphone/3g issues spreading the net. So you bought the new iphone, how's that 3G network goin' for ya?

What do you get for $200?? A touchscreen cell phone with just three extra buttons (home, volume, power [the other one is a silence switch])...
In fact, this phone is easier to use than ANY PDA type phone talking from experience, of course.
A camera, iTunes, hundreds of apps to download (many free)...and a great GPS/Maps system...if you want more, again, download apps.
Of course it has negative things (just like everybody else): there is no zoom on the camera, there is no video camera, there is still a backup problem that takes hours to do (you can cancel it anyways), and the battery life is not that good.
You worry about plan prices? Yes, it is more expensive than your regular average phone, but you get what you pay for. The internet (3G) is fast, and the GPS is reliable enough...
What more do you want? I'm a happy iPhone user even when I've been having problems with apps crashing for the past couple of days...but the ease of use and the easy interface make up for it...really...

View profile »So is every iphone clone! The BEST PDA cellphone out there - The Blackberry. No contest.
Every iphone clone has that too, and NOT CONSTRAINT by APPLE's proprietary stronghold.
Iphone clones DOES HAVE their negatives, as well... BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE IPHONE. I can buy a 3rd party battery on ebay, for as low as $7 & replace my old LG VU battery, while iphone owners have to pay over $85 (including shipping) to have their iphone battery replaced! Yes, your iphone data WILL BE ERASED. As for memory, iphone users ARE STUCK with 8gb, my iphone clone accepts MicroSD cards up to 8gb. FULLY REPLACEABLE.
Apparently you're missing the point of this thread- the advertised 3G for the iphone does not work. At least for the amount subscribers pay. Many are willing to pay the at&t higher cost, PROVIDED THE SERVICE WORK! Correct, iphone losers get what they paid for.

Bingo! Spoken like a TRUE FANBOY. Where practicality is COMPLETELY thrown out the window.
Which is why I'm getting an Ipod Touch. Oh wait, you gotta pay $85 to replace that battery too! Fuhgeddaboudit!!!!
It takes one to know one.

What are you trying to accomplish with this thread? Supposedly make us iPhone users realize that we are overpaying what? Is not like we were held at gunpoint to buy an iPhone??...
Now you should start rambling about Windows Vista...that would interesting...

View profile »I was anti-iPhone, or any clone like iPhone, but when I changed jobs the free company provided Blackberry was no longer an option so I needed osmething with all the perks, and the instinct was a good deal because I receive 20% off because my former job was partnered with Sprint/Nextel, and I bought it 1 day before I left the company. So my phone cost me like $180.00 total, and I would never trade it for anything.

Does the iPhone not feature Vibration? That's actually a bit of a thing for me.
