As many of you OBVIOUSLY know, this "innovative" phone will be available for gouge, i mean sale pretty soon here.

A few questions I have for those 'waiting in line' to buy it:

1. How does donating 300-ish dollars to a multi-billion dollar company feel when you are probably one of the 90% of people in debt?

2. Why are you going to pay three times as much for an Ipod that has a phone in it when, gasp, you wait a fwe more months and you will be able to buy phones that support SD-HC cards that'll far exceed the 4 or 8 GIG cap these phones have.

3. Do you really expect apple isn't going to find some way to nickle and dime you for the music you put on here? Be it 'music essentials pack' or something of the like, or a HUGE increase in ...

Actually, I get laid quite a bit thank you very much, more in a week with my wife than you probably do in a month or two 😁

Psst, but if you are referring to yourself, my apologizes. Just so you know it's not cool to share that kinda info with strangers, be it real life or internet 😎

Someone is getting defensive. That usually means they are embarassed about something. Could it be not getting laid by his wife and instead by his dog?

HAHA, you are funny.

You remind me of the T-Mobile 'Mobile Solution' guys/gals who are so drugged up by their company, they dont think their stuff stinks.

Hey, if it makes you feel better you can go ahead and say i hump my dog all day long.
Truth of the matter is, if i invested money into commitee and ran ads for months and months, i'm sure I can make statements that humping dogs as cool as buying an iPhone.

Enough said.

Im all about what you say about the Iphone, but to say. "You remind me of the T-Mobile 'Mobile Solution' guys/gals who are so drugged up by their company, they dont think their stuff stinks."

Think about it a bit, since you seem like a verizon guy, Your a bit biased to the company which is obvious so you are just a drugged up about verizon and there old network as the t-mobile guys.

There are drugs to be had for every person that sells a particular carrier. I just think there is alittle bit of jelously as well in your case, cause you know damn well if verizon had the iphone we wouldnt be talking right now.

Actually, I do three different carriers.

So really, I am not drugged up on ANY carrier. I actually take time to LISTEn and UNDERSTAND what the customers, now get this... NEEDS are.

Ironically enough, my sales ethics are flawless, If i miss out on a sale I wont try something that will make me feel like a thief.

So I get to sleep at night, AND am an excellent seller at my location/region.

But thanks, that just made me feel a little better about myself.

Hey anytime, because seeing people like you is why i love my job. But i am also not an idiot...every multi carrier dealer has a carrier they push every month...so i dont buy so much what you say. You didnt sell me. Its good you sell the customer what you think they need, depending of course which carrier your boss wants you to push. Im proud of you though, im glad all it took to make you feel better was streching the truth on a message board to feel better about yourself. 🤣

Well, look at you Mr. Tough Guy.

Actually, my bosses DO NOT push any carrier over another.

But if thats what it takes for you to feel like 'a tough man' go ahead.

Oh yeah, from the looks of your picture, you aren't anything but a 'chump' who thinks they can make someone 'feel like them' or 'agree with them' when in reality, your insignificance is marred by what you lack, intelligence.

Keep posting though, you may come to a realization that no one cares what you, or I say. But if its a d!c# fight you want, sadly I won't entertain you, I dont swing your way.

Yea, multi-carriers don't really push any specific carrier unless a sales rep is biased, we've got great deals on all of our phones.

That said, I think both of you are idiots

Good luck mall hustler!!!!

Dude you get worked up like this because something is talking about their feelings on a cellphone. You are psycho dude.

I mean this phone isn't even all that great.

There is no 3G. Why? Becuase AT&T's 3G network is lacking and because Apple will want to release the iPhone2 with 3G so all the people who buy this one will have to buy a new one to keep current.

You can't change the battery. How long does a cellphone battery typically last? About a year. So for the second half of your contract you will be stuck with a pda/phone that you have to charge every couple hours.

Sounds like fun to me.

vzw does suck, I agree.
Their phones could be SOO much more if it wasn't for their 'excellent' means of business and use of crippleware that makes you buy their music/programs/anything else you want to use.

I hear you, but if you are smart, you can get things for free if you know how to talk to the CustServRep. But then again, most people aren't.

Those will be the ones paying 600 for a phone that doesnt even have all of the features a REGULAR Ipod has.

Wonder if this will even have a stop watch, haha.

Good luck on getting that free iPhone. Even if it were free it would be overpriced.

Jun 22, 2007, 6:39 PM
Yeah I know right, I wouldnt want it free either, I have no use for it.

Unless I got it free with no contract, then it would go online for the sheep there that couldn't get one in stores, LMAO.

The reason that is different, is I probably could use the extra cash on something, Apple on the other hand has enough laying around....

Whose service has a bigger E-penis aside, I can't wait for the iphone to get hacked and a Linux OS put on it akin to the Moto EZX or OpenEZX, etc. I have had many of HTC's designed phones, and my last two have been Moto EXX platforms (A1200, and Rokr E6) which are both better than any US released phones. More and more I find myself just using more media options anyway, and I don't plan on buying an Ipod any time soon so....

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something.

People are undoubtedly going to line up for this. So I am going to say this now, before anyone else is.

This phone, is going to be one of THE MOST troublesome and confusing phones, when a problem arrises with software/internal, than the old scare cancer causing startec's of WAY back.

Don't listen to their bullshit IMWI everyone who is competent knows the iPhone sucks and that the few "innovative" things about the damn thing are completely pointless.

1) Multitouch Screen
Am I on drugs? Has no one read that this screen is glass? I had a cingular 8525 and switched to sprint and got the palm 755 they are touch screen and are constantly getting filthy. I cannot imagine how disgusting that glass will get, I cannot imagine holding my ipod to my face as it smudges so freggin easy. Why two fingers? I don't know, but this is not a Apple technology its been around forever and its not that impressive, just complicated.

2) Visual voice mail interface
Why? Again a novelty. I for one don't check my freggin voicemail. Be...

Sprint? well i guess if you dont go anywhere or work in a building your ok. When you need a signal do you hold one hand in the air and stand on one foot? " Oh there it is , hello ? hello ? hello? dammit! " 🤣

You do know that CDMA carries better signal than GSM right? And that AT&T does use 1900Mhz and that the 1900 spectrum is great for voice but is blocked easier than the 850Mhz. Which means that if you are in a building using an AT&T and Sprint phone both on 1900Mhz the sprint will work better than the AT&T.

And yes I do know that AT&T does also use the 850Mhz in a lot of areas too. I am just saying all things being equal.

Pay for stuff?

Unlike Windows computers that come chock full of useless trial program, my mac comes with everything out of the box.

There are SO many free programs for mac it would be impossible to use them all. Now that Jobs has opened up the phone to 3rd party developers, the sky is the limit for this phone

Ok yes we know that Mac is way better than Windows. This has nothing to do with the iPhone.

I want a Mac laptop so bad. But that doesn't mean I want a iPhone.

Please stay on topic.
