Title: iPhone
Post by: Jeff on June 29, 2007, 11:26:12 AM
So let's hear it, whose getting one?

Me, no.  I have a PDA phone and an iPod, plus I want/need/like 3G capabilities.

People are in line right now, many of them simply offering up their spot for sale for $300-$500.

2 reasons I wont get one...


1. If I get another cell phone its just gonna be that a phone. No internet, camera, gps nav, tv, radio, coffee maker. Just want a GODDAMN CELL PHONE THATS A PHONE FIRST! And lasts longer than 20 min on a battery charge.

2. Its made by Apple.:biggrin:

1.  Such a thing doesn't exist...  You might get that in a bag-phone in ebay-antiques, but otherwise forget it.

You could do that by kicking him the nuts, you know.  :kicknuts: :biggrin:

Why I won't buy an iPhone: Never buy the first gen of ANYTHING high tech. It's kind of like letting others clean the track for you. ;)

Hell I usually wont buy anything "first generation" of anything electronic or the first year for a new model of car or bike. Look at the XBox360 (or regular Xbox) and all teh problems the first ones had. A bunch of guys on anothe rweb site who bought the first Razr phones had nothing but problems. Same with Ipods. All you heard was "My (insert item) broke again".

I hate my phone. my ringer is shut off at home and i turn my ringer off one hour after leaving work. not having to deal with my phone all the time used to be one of the only good thing about being considered legally deaf.

I have a Kyocrea Slider and I love it. I thought I was going to hate that it's a bit thinker than a clamshell, but actually, all of the features make up for that. I rarely have slide it open and it works amazingly well with my bluetooth.

I've been looking into a new cell phone, and I hate all the gadgets that come with the newer phones.  If I want to take a picture, I will use my camera, and I certainly don't want internet access, that's why I have a laptop.  I want a simple phone to make and receive simple calls.  I like modern technology, don't get me wrong, but I also like the simpler things in life.  I love pina coladas, getting caught in the rain...and the smell of the ocean...

Yeah, and AT& bleeping T did not "anticipate" the rush, and some people were left with a shiny new toy and no service.
