I have said this before, but I will say it again.

If VZW thought the iPhone was going to be this groundbreaking, earth-shattering, panty dropper,of a phone all you fan boys seem to think it is; then Verizon would have signed the contract when Apple approached them.

VZW is not worried about the iPhone and in six months none of us are going to care about it either.

Nice analogy! I seriously LOL'ed.

I am not drinking iPhone haterade, I truly do like the phone itself (with a few reservations), Apple makes great products. It might take a couple of trys but they know their stuff.

What drives me nuts are the blind faith, Apple Zealots. I feel like they are going to show up on my doorstep one Sunday morning trying to give me pamphlets.

As far as the network, AT&T. They might say more bars in more areas, but out here (I live in...

I love Apple, but in this case can't defend them. The only innovative part of the iphone is the dual touch LCD. The internet browser is sub-par because of At&t's internet service. Even thier highspeed is 5 times slower than Sprints or Verizons. The talk quality is rated poor in every review and the keyboard is horrible. You have to change keyboards just to put in a period. There is no end or talk button which will get annoying. All in all its not a great phone. Its not even a great video player. So for the price I'd buy a great phone and a seperate, but great video player, and at least I could get insurance and a decent warrenty on both of those products. Sorry Apple and Apple lovers, but I'll have to pass on this one. Make it third party ca...

Do you realize how far behind you guys are in terms of customers and overall customer satisfaction ๐Ÿคจ ? Do you realize why at&t doesn't respond to your cheesy adds trying to diss our network and data speeds ๐Ÿคจ ? The reason why is that at&t doesn't notice when piss ant companies throw rocks at the throne ๐Ÿ˜Ž . When you're #1 keep an eye over your shoulder for #2 โ˜น๏ธ but definitely not for #3 ๐Ÿ˜ข . And be clear, although at&t 3G isn't quite as wide spread as EVDO, EDGE which destroys your 1xRTT is available everywhere ๐Ÿ˜ฒ . And as far as the iPhone is concerned (it doesn't have dual touch LCD's), it has already begun to shape the mobile landscape for years to come with other manufactures playing catch up (See LG Prada & HTC Touch).

Actually, the iPhone didn't shape anything for the Prada. You might want to get your facts straight, as the LG Prada was before the iPhone. Apple made the announcement of the iPhone sooner than they were supposed to in order to make people believe they were first.

If you go back a few months, you will find the real information on this, including where they were not supposed to make an announcement due to Cisco having the iPhone name Copyrighted already.


Some how Apple has managed to brainwash everybody, when in fact all they did was copy other devices and put a sub-par device on the market that got to much hype.

True that on the PRADA. In fact, it won design awards before the iPhone was announced. I will say that the multimedia capabilities of the iPhone are top notch, but when it comes to actual phone quality, i have been very disappointed. I can't judge on the PRADA though since I haven't personally played used one, and I'm willing to bet not too many people on these forums have either.

go to just about any verizon store any night of the week. It might not be wrapped around the building, but everyone knows there are lines of people waiting to sign up or upgrade. I know cause they all complain about the wait.

1. For every Verizon store, there are 5 at&t/cingular stores (agents included)
2. At a Verizon store you can talks to a sales person, a tech, or a cust care rep in the same location.
3. Verizon is sloooowwww.

But good luck w/ the chocolate 2. It looks really nice and the whole gimmick with the name is brilliant (seriously). Best nickname since the Razr. And I actually like how Verizon stores are set up. It must be nice to have a greeter direct sales your way (as a salesperson) before having to navigate through people who just want to bi**h. Must be nice...

AT&T confirmed that it spent $50 million to improve its EDGE data network just before the iPhone goes on sale later today. Before the improvements, AT&T reported that its EDGE network delivered speeds between 75-135 kbps. After the improvements, users can expect up to 200 kbps. Phone Scoop achieved EDGE network speeds of 149, 176 and 250 kbps in tests conducted through DSL Reports. The operation was cal...

And you GSM fanboys. GSM is old outdated technology compared to "newer" CDMA and way better than GSM. Europe is only all GSM cause they decided years ago that all of Europe would be one type of technology, GSM. CDMA wasnt even prominent at that time. CDMA also has much more call capacity, which is why GSM users have alot of Fast busy signals when calling anyone, from your friend or either 911. Many more advantages of CDMA vs GSM, but I will spare you. All this GSM is the best chatter is utter nonsense. Know your facts.
