these are just rumors but verizon is set to release an iphone killer with out the downsides of the iphone...you know the non removable battery or sd slot or you know the big thing...the no 3g thing...verizon didn't pass on the iphone just to pass on it...i think they've got something great coming.

Platypus i was thinking the same thing you were about switching...but...the lack of 3g is really a deal breaker especially for that price...no batt i can deal with but no...sd slot..thats annoying...cant easy share...cant take pics with digital cam and just place it on your phone directly...to many limitations for that price...i say wait for the iphone 2.0

Your just looking for a reason to bash this phone. Your point is right, but if you are in that big of a hurry to get someone a picture, it's prolly not something thats going to happen everyday. So is it really that big of a deal? And iphone has email capabilities so you could very easily send someone an email with a picture attachment.


There are plenty of drawbacks to treos that I could sit here and nitpick. Stop searching for these ridiculous so called "flaws" and just acknowledge that the phone is pretty amazing. If you want to bash it, atleast wait till it gets released then you can actually see how it performs.

how locked down do you think the iphone will be.plus make certain att works every were you need it to.plus phone will be locked to there service only.plus it looks like they wont be giving out unlock codes on phone since apple is controling that.so how much use will you get out of the 500 to 600.00 dollar ipod. maybe one day when they come out with a 3g version it may be worth it. but using 2g service isnt worth wasting money on. want a real pda/phone. then get a palm or microsoft phone that you can actually get applications on and cheap at that. iphone wont have any,other than what is on phone. also have fun beta testing it for them.

Jun 4, 2007, 4:17 PM
Everyone already knows the iphone will have some locked down features, but I'm used to that im with verizon. im not a business user just a guy who appreciates apple products and wants a really cool iphone. as far as 2g i have used it and it is not that bad at all, and from what i hear 3g still needs a fair amount of work over in AT&T land.

so you see i fit the the targeted market of this phone, and i bet their will be millions more like me.

It's a phone, not a religion. :rolleyes:

I like Apple stuff too, but I'm not going to switch to crappy ol' ATT/Cingular just to surf at near-dialup speeds. When they bring out an iPhone 2.0 with 3G and a better price, I'll think about it... IF ATT's network and customer service have gotten better by then.

'til then, I ain't tempted. Enjoy your iPhone 1.0.

Jun 4, 2007, 4:45 PM
Its not dagger-throwing at the iPhone so much (though the lack of 3G for such an expensive phone is inexcusable), but dagger-throwing at ATT/Cingular's network and customer service. They do kinda suck, compared to Verizon. That's why a lot more people leave ATT/Cing than Verizon... duh.

"It's just the internet"? Bahahaha. You don't know much about this phone, then. A lot of the big deal is that its got a real web-browser, big screen, and will make you WANT to surf the 'net on your phone, so that ATT can sell a lot of data plans. Problem again is, no 3G for iPhone 1.0. 😒

You sound like some kid who just wants an expensive toy to flash at your friends... you don't really seem to know much about it or what Apple's trying to do here....

The iphone is prolly one of the most technologically advanced phones we have seen to date. And the best part about this product is that it has pushed the boundaries in the cell industries. Everyone is being forced to step their game up, and now they have a great benchmark to do so.

I went to the apple website and looked at the iphones features and they are pretty staggering. They managed to get so much in this phone, it really is amazing.

(http://www.apple.com/iphone/)

And yes I know the drawbacks...

1. No 3g--Wouldnt be a deal breaker for me, but I do understand the outrage and the phone should have had 3g capabilities

2. Removable Memory--The damn phone has 4gb/8gb of internal memory...HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU WANT? No SD c...

It is the most feature packed phone ever. I don't see how anyone in their right mind would pay that much money but if you have that much to blow more power to you. It will be a fun toy.

Now be patient with me, I havent done much research on the iPhone (or cared enough about it to), but what is the big hoopla about? Its a PDA with a MP3 player in it for all intensive purposes.

How is the iPhone better then say a Treo with removable memory card for music.

In my mind I would think I would actually prefer a treo, or i730, or even the Q over the much hyped iPhone.
...
cwcanty

Jun 4, 2007, 6:06 PM
Its not about what the iphone does, its how it does it. In typical Mac fashion, they took basic operations and made them easier to use and more intuitive. In some ways yeah, its just a pda with an mp3 player...but in other ways it really is so much more than.

I would personally much rather have the interface and functionality of the iphone vs a treo...but Im a mac user, so im prolly a little bias.

In my opnion, and I have never owned a Apple product, only used them at friends houses, an apple computer/priduct is just a "dumbed down" versioin of a computer/mp3 player, they are great build quality, but they seem to be very limited as to what you can actually do with them, they are kinda like "real world for dummies"

cwcanty

Jun 4, 2007, 8:49 PM
I dont think its dumbed down...its intuitive. It works the way you would think a product should work. Thereby making it easier to use the computer as a whole. I have a thinkpad for work and a mac for personal use and everyday there are so many features I wish windows had that OSX has had for years.

To each his own, but I have yet to meet anyone in the past three years or so who has made the switch to mac and not said that it is a better product for normal, everyday computing.

Once again Keovani, you never look at the big picture, and your view of the market is extrememly narrow minded. It's not WHAT the iphone does, its HOW the iphone does them. Apple makes things easier, more intuitive and also more fun! And do you think some 20 year old kids who loves apple products gives a crap about a removable SD card when his iphone has 8gb gb internal memory? Trust me, they wont. Hell, most people dont even remove their sd cards once they put them in their phones.

All of these things people keep picking on the iphone for are issues that the people that are most likely to buy this phone dont really care about.

Wait till it comes out, then you can bash it.

Chris,

Seeing the commercials over the last few days, the iPhone does seem damn innovative and it may be a game changer. If it were priced lower and on Verizon network i'd definately want to check it out. I also agree with you that most of the perceived negatives people keep mentioning are no big deal. However, can't agree about battery issue. Apple may have the non-replaceable battery figured out with great success for the iPod, but anyone who travels with a phone needs a replaceable battery.

According to MW director β€œthere are many reason why Verizon pass on the iPhone and why the iPhone came to Verizon first. The iPhone company wanted there service provider to be the best in the industries. The main reason behind the Verizon push from Apple was that since AT&T network isn’t at par with Verizon they where afraid that the drop calls and patchy service will reflect back to Apples iPhone. Also Apple wanted to uses its i-Tunes while Verizon wanted to use it VCast music features and both couldn’t come to an accord”. There where more reason also Circuit City dealers of Verizon wouldn’t be able to sell the iPhone nor would indirect agents.

The iPhone is going to do very well, at least initially. People will be camped out for the thing like it was a new game console or something, and the media hype will be H-U-G-E. 😳

But... so what? I'm not a trend whore, and while I like Apple, I'm not a fanatic about it.

If the thing was 3G and on Verizon's network, I'd camp out for it too. But it ain't and it ain't, so I won't. 😁

I continued to deal with it for years do to their superior network, but at-last the tides have finally turned, and now AT&T has a worthwhile network in my area. I can't dog on verizon they have a network and CS that fits the needs of many, but AT&T offers allot of benefits that I have wanted for many years.

I agree with Chocolate like mention before on my previous post the Apple is crossing its fingers lets not forget who it came to first. The iPhone is like a hot chick she wanted Verizon Man hood and Verizon said no we want to keep our MP3 selling tools and Apple was push to the side force to go to the limp smaller man hood At&t

What do you expect? You didn't start this thread saying, "I think the iPhone looks cool, and I'm going to give it a try when it comes out." You started this thread saying, "I've leaving because Verizon sucks! Their phones suck! Their UI sucks! Neener neener!" Seriously, think before you post.

I don't care. I need my phone to make phone calls. I don't need a toy. I don't need a PDA right now. I need something that will work wherever I go. I get that with Verizon. The only other option I have is Alltel, and Verizon is better than Alltel for me. That's all I need.

Dropping over $1500 on a cell phone is crazy. In my eyes, it's really stupid. I'd rather buy a laptop. Or an LCD TV. Or a retirement fund. There are dozens of better ways to spend that money.

Regardless, the point is that if you didn't want backlash, you shouldn't have started this thread the way you did. It has nothing to do with you leaving Verizon for the iPhone and everything to do with the language you used in your original post. I don't care if yo...

I stated it that way cuz A- i knew it would get you koolaid drinkers all a flutter 🀣 and B- it's the straight up truth.

i already have a laptop and a fifty inch Sony HDTV, and it is my flow so I will do as i want.

and who said i was upset about the outcome 🀣

i already wish I had a laptop and a fifty inch Sony HDTV, but my flow from my paper route is squat so I can't do as i want. I am saving up for a daewoo however.

and who said i was upset about the outcome, since I am immature and lack social skills, I can't differentiate between good and bad attention.

Fixed your post for you. No need to thank me. 😎

The truth is that the iPhone is a $600 paperweight because it doesn't work here.

See how that works? Your opinion isn't truth. Good try though.

And I still think you're an idiot.

Cingular doesn't work where I live. The iPhone is useless to me. Of course if I were using your logic...

Huh? I thought we established that you were 16, run a paper route, and get beat up a lot at school. I mean, that's what your attitude says, anyway.

So don't lie about your life, Platty... its unbecoming. πŸ˜‰

true...but wait til wimax comes out...the new phone selection will be through the roof..and everything will be exclusive because no other carrier will be able to support it.

yeah but all thats sscheduled for nationwild roll out for q2 2008..or if verizon comes out with this LG KS20 which is technically superior to the iphone..since it has everything the iphone has plus exp memory & removable batt..

Jun 7, 2007, 3:46 PM
the data will still be capped tho with no streaming permitted, so really what's the point if you want data sprint or cingular is the only way to go.

It is very easy to use and makes the phone cool! I think the verizon UI is way cooler than any motorola or lg UI!

I actually agree...the new flash UI's on the lg's are pretty cool and easy to use. Verizon has stepped up to the plate and made some key adjustments to UI to suit the needs of the consumers.
