Yeah, I caved and bought one :icon_mrgreen:
It is the COOLEST toy ever!!!!!!!!
Oh and it's a phone too :laugh:
Seriously, it's incredible!!
Price has been dropped on both versions:
4 gb is $299 while supplies last
8 gb is $399 and will continue to be manufactured
Now if they would hurry up with the new Leopard OSX 10.5 :icon_confused:
How much is the plan? THAT'S where they getcha'.
The plan costs the same as for my blackberry. I pay about $80 a month for everything including tax :thumb:
heheh you too got suckerd into the charm of an iphone eh?
I got the 4gb, i pay 80/mo. My previous plan was 40/mo for 850 minutes but was not compatible with teh iphone plan. Further more i was getting pissed at the Nokia E61i interface. If i wanted the E61i to surf the web unlimited i was going to pay about 70+tax and for a 'mobile' web interface.. for 10 bucks more i got the iphone.
Now time for more applications and no more BS mr. jobs..
yeah, the 'mobile' web pretty much sucks. Especially once you've experienced it on the iPhone.
I am a mega Mac fan. I've got a MacBook right now but after christmas I'm probably upgrading to a MacBook Pro :thumb:
More Applications: Search iPhone hacks, all sorts of crap. Requires very little experience, most have very detailed instructions.
I LOVE THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon_mrgreen:
waste of money

Excellent investment at the time...
I had some and sold them when they where HOT! :icon_mrgreen:
I didn't keep one for myself because I knew the cost would go way down fast :thumb:
eh...I'm enjoying my hacked razr. :dunno_white:
Yeah peachfuzz, I wasn't willing to shell out 500 for one but when it came to being able to get one for 200 I caved :thumb:
Excellent investment, plain and simple.
I haven't started with the hacks yet, but I will be soon.

i'm on my 3rd one :flipoff: :laugh:, first one was 'manufacture" default, 2nd one got washed for a couple hours - it still worked completely fine after few min with a hair dryer but the camera had water/soap stains and i had insurance so i figured wth and now i'm on my 3rd :laugh:
I had all sorts of problems with RAZR's. Everything from it randomly dialing numbers to waking up to one catching fire on my nightstand. :cookoo:
on fire really? wow how did that happen?

Lets see. I have free mobile internet. I changed my startup and shutdown animations, and front LCD image. I can use my razr as a free, totally wireless modem for my laptop. I can hook up to my pc and use my phone as a usb hard drive. And, of course, I can take pics, video, and use it as a music player, gps, etc. Gee, I wish it had some functionality. :icon_rolleyes: Oh, and I got it free with the 'New every two' promo from Verizon. Hmm...$300 or more for an iphone with a minimum $80.00 plan for full functionality, or two phones for $50.00 (my wife got the new krzr) with a $60.00 plan. That's a grand total of two phones vs. one, and a minimum $250 savings +$20 each month in contract savings. Yeah, no contest.
Now, if I had money to throw away...well, I'd probably get the razr anyway, and spend the rest on my bike. :thumb:

heard of it before, the bat on my 1st,old one, used to get a little hot if i left it on too much. My new one doesn't get hot so i think they fixed the problem.
yeah, they didn't seem surprised :dunno_white:
Anyway, i'm absolutely loving the iPhone, and I've been looking into getting my ACPT and ACDT certifications.
iPhones are nice, but I'll never buy one or any Apple product for that matter.
And Razr's are complete garbage. People always say "yeah, I'm getting a new phone tomorrow - Motorola Razr!" and I'm like "Nnnnnooooo!!!". They always come back the next day and tell me it sucks and I was right.
I just picked up a Sony Ericsson w810i, it's pretty sweet too - but it's no crackberry or iPhone.

Awwwww, how cute!! Someone that's afraid of reliable and functional technology :laugh:
Just remember, there are no BSOD's on Macs :flipoff:
get your macs while you still can,
Quote2008 will be a critical year for Apple, Microsoft, and the Linux contingent. If Apple can't significantly expand its presence by then in the PC market it is likely going to be finished with this segment. Its likely path in that case will be to focus more aggressively on the consumer electronics market it currently dominates.
Yeah, the same thing has been said every few years for the last decade and a half. Then 2007 hit. Mac stock more than doubled and they released products heralded as revolutionary. Mac isn't going anywhere for a very long time. :thumb:

I'm referring more to the iPod's and iPhone's. Definitely not the computers :laugh:
Hell, most people in my town don't know what a iPhone is. God bless the uneducated south :icon_rolleyes:
The computers are incredible. I've never had a problem out of my MacBook and don't expect to when I upgrade to a MacBook Pro. What's funny is I'm going to get my ACPT and ACDT certifications primarily just to justify buying that nice of a computer :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Well, the money on service calls for Apple systems is pretty nice too :thumb:
I have a sony vaio , and ,. not a single problem in 6 months ., not one crash , not one blue screen on Windows Media , Id Vote for sony ,
The Iphone Is Almost Released Over Here! , comes on a 12 month contract for 35 a month , i pay that now on my Nokia
I haven't had problems in a long time with win xp, not counting the mess i got in with a Linux dual boot- man that shaZam! is confusing :laugh: . if win xp gives me trouble i jsut pop in a 2nd hard drive install xp on that and transfer files over- repeat when needed :laugh:
Soooo we have a phone you have to hack to do anything with :icon_rolleyes:
It does not offer an expandable memory card storage option like my phone does :icon_rolleyes:
If you have to have the battery replaced you have to send it in to have it done :icon_rolleyes:
The only thing the iPhone is good for in my opinion is blending.

The touch interface, especially when using a wifi connection and the browser, is truly amazing. If that's important to you (and it is to me), then the iPhone is pretty sweet. I have a treo 650 right now and can't wait to get rid of it. If they sold the iPhone it in Canada I'd buy one in a second. I guess I'll need to make the trip over the border soon and pick it up. $399 is not that unreasonable.
On a somewhat related note, I finally took the plunge this year and bought a macbook. I run linux/debian on my desktop and really didn't need a windows machine at home, so I figured it would be cool to try out mac osx. Unfortunately I've had way too many problems with it. The battery died, so I needed to get that replaced. It now sounds like the drive is going.. it refused to boot for a couple of days. Took it into the mac geeks and (surprise surprise) it did boot up. They ran a diagnostic and couldn't find anything wrong. I love the display, the touch pad controls, the OS in general, yada yada, but the hardware is not as reliable as I was hoping. I've even had it crash a few times!? It just hangs! I'm really hoping the iPhone will be more reliable. As far as I've heard (and read), it is.
If they made a solid movie editing package, offered iTunes for linux and a few other misc codecs currently missing, I would never consider running another OS.
Hmmmmm, I've never had any of those problems with my macbook. The only problem I've ever had is Safari Beta freezing up, but that was back when it was initially released.
As far as the phone, haven't had a problem out of it. The interface is incredible intuitive and overall a lot of fun when you have a wi-fi connection or if you're in a major area where coverage is good.
HT 8525 touchscreen, wifi yadda yadda yadda and I am not at apples propietary bullshit mercy for applications for my phone.
The HTC 8525 is a great phone. But I don't think you can compare its traditional touch screen to the interactivity provided by the iPhone's touchscreen screen -- they're designed completely differently and it will come down to personal preference I guess.
Quoteand I am not at apples propietary bullshit mercy for applications for my phone.
So you'd rather be at the bullshit mercy of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 supported applications on the HTc 8525? I can't see how that is any better or worse than Apple. If that's a problem for a customer, they'll need to go buy a java OS based phone (Sony Ericsson), or one that a linux kernel has been ported to (not fun).
Hundreds of applications available for the windows mobile OS. It has been rock solid stable on 5.0 not a single issue with its integration between my office pc on XP pro and my home pc on Vista ultimate. And as I pointed out one of the major issues is I can just change my battery if the cell develops a memory level which degrades performance. If I want everything off of my phone to put into a new phone it's all on a 2gig micro SD card all of my contacts are on my PC I could recover from a phone failure in a matter of minutes if it went Kaput. No backroom voodo to get my stored items off of the iPhone and installed on another one.
I went and looked at the I phone. It's pretty :icon_rolleyes:
I'm not at apple's mercy either regarding programs, Google and minimal programming skills can work wonders.
Whoopie for you, BP, I can recover from a complete phone failure also.
I've used an 8525, and while it is a very capable device the interface is very dated in comparison to the iPhone.
sounds like what we have here is a "my dad can beat up your dad" argument. :laugh: :laugh:
