This is a repetitive waste of a thread. I doubt anyone here will feel the need to try and talk you into buying an iPhone or anything else for that matter. If it doesn't appeal to you, don't buy it. Who cares if you want it or not? 🙄

You can easily Google a number of iPhone forums to read about the pro's and cons of the device, not to mention the one you are already on. Why people post this kind of thread is beyond me.

Please, it would be nice if you would represent the company you work for in a more professional manner.

Check your spelling in your posts, first of all.

Second, just because you don't sell it at your agent location doesn't mean it's a dumb phone.

Before you make a post, make sure you forward it to someone who can make a better attempt at a sentence that includes a solid grammar base and has words that are spelt correctly. After that, maybe we can take you seriously.

3/4s of an inch: that's the distance to your comma button which you should press in order to not sound like an idiot.

Hmm. ".....spelt....." I looked and looked, and there is no such word. I probably would have used the following word...spelled...to make the point.

i am a COR employee and i own an iPhone and love it! And I'll tel you why. I love the fact that I have th "real" Internet on my phone, i love that whenever i want to watch one of my fav episodes of Family Guy i can just by going to my ipod on the phone. I love the fact that i can watch You Tube anytime i want, and lets face it, you tube is awesome! =0) I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy the iphone, i mean if you have the money to buy one and want it go for it! The phone is not for everyone, just like some people may not like the Blackberry curve, i for one love it i just think its something new thats out there and its a trend setter.

Well i do agree with you on that its an awesome device for things like that. But at the same time i can put half the programs that are on the iphone onto my tilt like the scoll feature for your internet and the tap to zoom in and out i have it all. I really do value your opinion though and i appreciate you being civil about it. you answered the question that i asked without trying to be smart about spelling and grammar and what not were not all perfect we make mistakes and if you have the time to tell how far your comma is away from where you need to move your finger to touch it you have to much time on your hands.


i do like the iphone though for the features i just feel, of course this is my opinion, that for the price you pay and as ...

Wholly crap.

Learn to use commas and periods. I couldn't even read your whole post because it started to give me a headache.

The phone has a lot of good and bad things going for it. I don't feel a need to go over them again. Take a look through various forums for answers to your questions.

It seems like you just want to bash the phone because you don't sell it...

Did you mommy let you back on the computer today? Read your posts before posting them. Your post makes no sense. (Maybe it does to a 12 year old like yourself) If you want to try and insult me, shoot for something half way intelligent. You should be able to muster that with the half of a brain that you have. 🙄

Wow, first of all, the phone costs $399, not $500. You really don't look at this from the right perspective. One of the main reasons why people like the iphone is that it is intuitive! Apple did something that no other phone manufacturer did in bringing a multitouch device and letting it roll all over the crappy "single touch with stylus" devices.

What you don't understand is the simplicity of the iPhone. All someone has to do to load music to their device is to connect it to their computer. Apple makes things so much easier for their users. Few other phone companies do. Sure the N95 and other phones have more features, but they are cluttered and clunky devices. Besides, the N95 looks like crap, and is too thick. Also, it doesnt have a QW...

🤣 wow, this thread sounds more like an English class than a forum. it's a net forum y'all, surely u don't correct peoples text messages too lol. Anyway the iPhone is attractive, but without 3G its kinda "eh". I don't own one but I played with one at the store. Too much money for such basic features, I mean most cell phones now days play video and has GPS etc.

You're kidding right? Yeah Apple appeals to those who don't want to read a book now and then and keep it "simple" for the simple. However, touch screens are the latest gimmick. You cannot even send a simple text message with one hand on the iPhone.

Did it ever occur to you that no one really gives a crap about your N-95? God every frickin' post is about that thing. I had one for about a week before it hit ebay.

N-95 may have some nice features but here are some things you don't mention in your post.

Cheap build: For a $600 device, it's has a very cheap feel to the build. If that slider is hasn't worn out in a year or less I'll be very surprised.

Weak GPS signal: I had problems with both acquiring and holding a GPS signal with the device.

No QWERTY keyboard: This is a biggie for today's smartphone and texting/emailing addicted society. The N-95 is useless for anyone who needs to answer mail and text's on the go. I don't even consider a device a smartphone unless it has a ...

In all fairness, people who know they need a keyboard would not really buy a phone knowing it did not have one. The N95 was geared to mix buisness with pleasure but a little more towards pleasure. Also, I don't know about your N95 but gps connection was almost instant on mine every time. I was disapointed with the build quality of that phone for the price though but thats why I returned it and am waiting for the n78. As far as interface goes, s60 is very is a lot more complex than apples, no question about. Now that doesn't mean that average intellgent person can't figure it out, it just means that is not for your every border line retarded consumer. Thats why the iphone is so great, it is basic and easy to use so the idiots can feel l...

Well, in all fairness then, people who needed features that the iPhone does not currently possess would not buy it knowing they weren't there either. However, it doesn't keep the haters from ragging on the people who use it at every mention.

People aren't stupid for buying a phone with no MMS or corporate email support if they don't need or want it. Once the update comes out in June, most of those points will be moot anyway and everyone will have to go back to hating on some other device they are envious of that their wireless provider does not carry.

I don't think iPhone users are idiots who feel smart or important for selecting to use the iPhone. There is nothing stupid about choosing an easy use and STABLE device. Nor is Apple st...

BS...People who buy N95s actually were fully aware of every feature of the phone and did some research. Many who bought the iphad bought it "just because" They did not even know it's failings. They stood inline plunked down $600 only to find it worth $400 a few weeks later.
