Why do ppl hate the iphone?

I don't understand why people hate the iphone. Just because it doesnt have 3g or any other crap doesn't mean it's not a good phone. And a lot people are trying to compare it to a damn pda. WTF is up with that? It's a entertainment phone for god sakes, not a blacberry, HTC, Treo etc. People just hate on it for stupid reasons and i'm tired of hearing it. If you dont like it, FINE!!!! Just don't buy it or dont'even look at it if you think your pda is far superior. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ฟ



Also, the HTC Mongul is the DOWNGRADED verison of the Cingular 8525 and Cingular....Excuse me...the new AT&T is a good company

I'd be willing to bet a good portion of the trolling comes from the competition itself.

Apples 1st gen phone is better than any other phone out there. It will only get better.

I agree. i think people always want to hate on new things, point out all its flaws instead of the good things. I think the iphone looks cool. I don't want one, but that doesn't mean it sucks. It all depends on what your needs are, if you need a pda buy one, don't shoot this phone down cuz it's not a pda.

PS. What's with the shot you took at the Mogul. That was the same kind of unnecessary hate you are talking about.

the bashing comes from those who 1) cant afford it 2) have better ways to spend their money and 3)the ones who realize that other devices do more for less

It's fine if people can't afford it, that's understandable. But how does one person not being able to afford it translate to it being a bad phone? I think for what it was made for and actually intended to do, it is pretty successful and will only continue to improve with the software updates coming in a couple months. Oh, and I don't get it when people dislike Apple and feel the need to bash every product that comes from them. Everyone likes different things and has different wants/needs, to each their own I guess.

I will have to agree with all your post, but one issue. The HTC Mongul is not the downgraded version of our 8525, check the stats. As much as I would love to say our 8525 is sitting on top, it is not anymore.

Why do I hate the iPhone? Because it is an Apple product. Because it is over-hyped. Because it is over-priced. Because it IS NOT revolutionary in any way.

I'm sure it'll be a good phone, an ok internet device, and an good mp3 player.. But it isn't going to replace anybody's 30gb iPod or anyone's laptop.

people are just pointing out all the facts of the iphone..the commercial misleads the general masses...the keynote mislead the public...this phone was not presented as a phone...but as a device more revolutionary than the current pda's on the market. Now if people want to call the BS on that..provide proof of it..then its not hating...its educating the public.

So let me get this straight. You hate the iPhone because its an Apple product. Do you own any Apple products? Sure its over hyped. But even the critics so far think it lives up to it. "Because its over-priced" ahhh the real reason. Daddy wont buy you one.

Not revolutionary? Give me another phone that has a motion tilt sensor, or a sensor that turns the screen off when you put it to your ear. How about another phone that has a full fledged internet browser? How about another phone that has rich text email with in-line photos? How about another phone that is completely glass touch screen that takes input from more than one source (finger/stylus)? How about another phone with 8G internal storage? How about another phone with integrated googl...

how 'bout you just deal with the fact that not everyone is going to be fawning over the iphone the way you are?

yes, being overhyped is a big deal. i myself feel like the phone has been shoved down my throat and no i can't wait for it to flop as a
kind of f-you for all the damn hype. no i don't think it will live up to the hype.

you're such a child. most of the people this phone is marketed towards work their asses off for peanuts, and asking them to hand over most of their paycheques for the "latest and greatest" in new gadgets is just too much to ask for. yes, apple has come a long way with the ipod. BUT thi...

Lets not forget that you'll be sharing that 8gb of memory with all the other stuff you will be putting on that phone, pda, whatever it is! ๐Ÿคฃ

People hate the IPHONE for a variety of reasons, one is, the phone portion doesn't have the same and normal features that all of us have gotten used to that are features in even the lowest priced phones, so for $600 bucks you get less as far as the phone features go, I'm not talking about the IPOD part of the phone, but if you compare the other IPODS to the IPOD portion of the phone you are getting less there also. For $600 bucks, plus tax and maybe having to pay off your old provider, this phone should have been a killer done deal phone, compared to nothing else in the world, well it isnt. Oh well maybe the next version will be.

I believe that some people actually DON'T like the phone....but there are far too many fanboys on here from other carriers who have no clue what it's about. The iphone succeeds big time based on certain factors. I have one and can say that it's not the best phone ever. Will I be returning it? The answer is no. What Apple did was make the phone fun. The interface is by far the easiest and coolest ever seen on a phone. My reception in the Boston area is just fine. It's about the same as my N75. The VZW boys found here are all too quick to throw the Prada out there as a better phone. We all know that by the time VZW gets their dirty little paws on that phone that it will be crippled beyond belief. If people think that most of the issues with th...

The Prada is a hunk o junk that makes the Iphone look like the greatest phone on earth. I believe the Prada will never make it to these shores. It's another over priced toy.
