Blimey whatever next :']
Stupid. They arent a phone company. Although it is a good marketing idea, because now they relized they could stick an 'i' infrong of a dog turd, and everyone would want it.
it's really ugly.
LOL... nor was apple a music distributor but it turned out successful - now number one...Quote:

I think it will be succesful. That phone will probally be the first of many.
Quite like the idea myself. All these phones out now that offer ''the best MP3 features etc'' they can't offer that when the number one mp3 providers, are offering that service in a phone.
Technically, they shouldnt be a music distributer, they broke their deal with The Beatles. They promised never to associate the apple with music (because of their famous record-center picture), and they didQuote:

They are not a phone company but they partnered up with cingular wireless which gives out the service. Most phones are made by different companies like samsong or nokea or motorola and the service is from a different provider. The phone is really cool with the interface and the things it can do.Quote:

I think its too expensive. I don't really like apple products either, especially the ipod, seems tacky and scratches quite easily (just by looking at my friends ipods).
Very true, I had my Apple Ipod Video around 1 year ago and Ive got a full Case of it a proper hard steel kinda thingQuote:

But still having that on it gets scratchs its full of the blimin things!
Personally, I think only a minor part of the iPhone is an actual phone... More of a multimedia centre or handheld computer with a phone attached. I am sure phones normally come with a few buttons?
Indeed. Thats why they are saying its the first of its kind :p.Quote:

Steve Jobs knows the mobile phone industry is extremely competitive, and has already said that Apple is only aiming for 1% market share of the smartphone industry with this first product.
People seem to be forgetting this is a SMARTPHONE. It's not anything like a D900 or a W850i, it's competitors are the Blarkberry Pearl and Treo mobiles. This is primarily a business phone to be honest, but I'm banking on getting one just for the built-in widescreen iPod. Hell yes I want to watch Zoolander on my phone when I've got a free lesson at school... Who wouldn't?
Roll on Q4 2007... I'll have an upgrade due then too :)
Psht I'm tired of hearing about people moan about broken iPods. I have an iPod nano, the original ones, the ones that 'break in your pocket', it has been run over by my computer chair multiple times, run over by my bike, been through a wash cycle, thrown at a wall and dropped to many times to count, and it's fine. I never even used a case.Quote:

It is "just another MP3 player." Hyped up by a big company that advertise it anywhere and everywhere. When you go shopping, it sits next to a good load of real MP3 Players. Some better than it.Quote:

I think what you said about it being a business phone is spot on. You can't take that to school, it will snap, like the first iPod Nano.Quote:

Yeah, and I've noticed most people haven't even seen the things the phone can do. ;/Quote:

- Price (not a biggie, would've been nicer if it was cheaper though)
But then there are things that I find very exciting;
- Visual voicemail (= viewing voice messages and choosing the one you want to hear. Very handy.)
- Full browser (although it looked a bit sluggish, its still really nice to view a full web page while on the go)
- Widescreen iPod (pretty awesome in the demonstration and there was virtually no lag time when accessing the menus or music.)
- Stainless steel back (no smudges, woo!)
Anyway, I'll be buying one when they come out. Heres to hoping other phone makers implement these ideas into their own phones in the near future.
I find the resistance of any brand products pretty funny. I mean, how easy is it to just not buy their products and end your turmoil? Granted, it's only your opinion that you're expressing, but when your argument is so old it doesn't even matter anymore, it's time to look for other nonsensical excuses to fuel your mediocre rant.
It isnt over priced.
Buy an ipod and a phone - it will cost more.
i think they should stick to the stuff there good at
EG, Ipods, computerstuff
Its overpriced and they are getting sued as the name belongs to another company. I am suprised they didnt check if its copyrighted or not. Dumb people.
I agree with your name your avatar and your masterpeice of writing..Quote:

Well, it is a bit different, but I think they should price it at around £180 - £200Quote:

They called Cisco "silly" for sueing them rofl. Apple are the silly ones.
This phone has WiFi, 3G, is an iPod itself, has a touchscreen which doesn't require a stylus and syncs perfectly with a mac/pc and has OS X running on it.
You'll get it free, lower on contract here, I believe.
Well why do people continue to buy things from apple? Its obvious they make the best user friendly technology around and for a cheap price tag too.Quote:
