I take it you don't like the ipod?


No I love my iPod and I have a cellphone. I really don't feel the need to spend $500 on two devices that I already have.

I've heard my dumb ass friends say that happened, what they really did was format it unknowingly while hooking it up to another person's computer....


Nah dude. I was there in the car with my friend chooey when it did it. We listened to it on our drive to the park. When we came back and turned it back on to listen to some more UMPHREYS!!!, the ipod had reset itself. 10gb of music just GONE. No computer anywhere near.

is that for the 80 gig??


No, the 80 is 350, but I've seen the smaller ones for 200ish. May have been an xmas sale though.

I'd never get an iPhone.... especially for $500.  Thats a decent P Bass or at least a damn good preamp :smile: 

An ipod on the other hand is a completely different story.  I have a 60 gig ipod that runs on random and it is the best jukebox ever... Switching cds every song would SUCK.  Makes the commute that much easier, same with bike rides. 

I wouldn't wear mine everywhere though.  It seems that some people get way too disconnected and just stop interacting with others.  Kinda sad.

when it was first presented and I saw the images and video about it, i first thought wow, i want the phone. but, that was purely due to its aesthetics.

being a mobile phone enthusiast and working in the industry, i'd have to say that although there are some perks about the iphone, there are a few important cons.

firstly, it's not a 3g phone. that's my main reason.

secondly, apple is bringing out yet another os for handheld devices. they had announced that only first party applications can be installed..which essentially means updates and also any other applications can only be made by them. with other phone os, i.e. symbian, developers can program 3rd party applications to work with the phone and it supports all different types of programming languages from c++, python, java, flash etc. thus, the iphone isn't a true smartphone.

thirdly, it has a weak 2 megapixel camera. considering that 3-5 megapixels are standard in phones such as nokia, sony ericsson and samsung (who actually have a 10mp camera phone). Nokia has a contract to use the carl-zeiss lens, sony ericsson uses their cybershot technology...so much better than apple's.

fourthly, no expandable memory. you're stuck with 4-6 gigs.

fifth, it doesn't have a removable battery...that's great, if that fucks up you have to get a whole new phone...

sixth...slower processor than the newer smartphones coming out on the market.

seventh, no wmv divx codec support...only (you guessed it) quicktime.

that's all i can think of right now...plus, i suppose for the americans who are used to getting cheap bundled phones with their provider, 499-600 USD for the phone + service is pretty expensive. i wonder how much it will be unlocked...

there's really nothing new that this phone can offer, nokia rnd for example have already researched into full touch screen phones (check out the aeon concept) since that's mainly the thing that people are so hyped about. otherwise, the only reason why i'd think this phone would sell is partly cause of the fact that it's an apple product which is a brand people are familiar with, they try to hype its design and (lack of) functionality.

yeah i can imagine, i dont think this phone will be a big seller in eu either. Its probably just coined for the american marked.

Re: Who wants an iPhone? [Re: elsig]
    #6472451 -

you're right, it's only really based for the american market.

european and asian providers already have a good relationship with phone companies such as nokia and samsung. This has been going on for years..the only way the iphone can make a dent in the asian and european mobile market is if they come up with a better package than they've already announced...which I don't see will be the case. Iphone's target seems to only be the top 1% of the global mobile phone market.

one other difference between european/asian vs american consumers, the network coverage for GSM phones is superb...so if a consumer were to not get any phone signal or problems with using their phone, they will automatically blame the phone nad not the network provider unlike in the US where the coverage is shite and GSM is just technically being introduced more.

It's really quite simple. When the battery dies, you have to replace your device. New device=more money spent=apple owns your asssss

I admit I saw the video of the iPhone and was impressed. However I don't have the technology savvy as apparently Boo has. I dug the idea of having a phone that would play mp3's and also I could hit the internet wherever I am. I understand the camera on the iPhone is lame but that is a non-issue for me really.

So, I don't have a good iPod and I need a new phone when my contract expires with Verizon in May. I like having a 'real' browser on a phone and the music. I currently have a Mac desktop so I am familiar with Mac use.

What is a more cost effective alternative that provides these in good form??

Boo?

What did people do 3+ years ago when all of this technology didn't exist? You didn't NEED it then, you don't NEED it now. Save your money for something that you won't need to replace in a year or two.

actually i had this technology 3 years ago heh. i like to be able to stream live tv on my cellphone, of course there was a time this was not possible , my first phone was a alcatel in the early 90s that weighted a ton and could only send text messages and only showed up to 9 numbers or letters on the diplay and it was great back then. but i like to think that new technolgy is to be used :smile:

I'm not going to deny that I own a cell phone. It's hard not to with a kid. But I hate it. I just don't like being roped into a system that forces one into buying a new device every one to two years. Sure, you don't HAVE to, but generally the phone is so beat up and half dead from being a flimsy piece of shit, that you have to get a new one. It's just like the people who buy a $200 tv every 2-3 years from walmart. If you just spent $400 in the first place, you would have had a decent tv, now you're going to spend 8x more. I look at it this way, spend the extra bit of money now for the better equipment in life, and you spend less later on. You can't do that with a cell phone.

I wish I could "downgrade"!  I only want a phone, but I am forced to buy all this extra shit I don't use!

My only text messages are with my pot dealer every 2 weeks.

HIM : Yo, you stopping by? I got some real nice stuff.
ME: On my way.

And that is the extent of my text messages. :smile:

well I'm a consumer lol no i understand what your saying and respect it, i don't worry myself with the same things , i can afford changing new phone whenever i want and I'm a sucker for technology. in Norway kids in kindergarden has cellphones and its very rare to find someone that doesn't have a cellphone actually , this of course creates a pressure on most people to buy this kind of stuff. people in general doesn't like to stick out of the crowd. and i see how this is a negative pattern, parents feels pressured to buy their kids new phones because all the other kids in school has the newest nokia or whatever and this is bad for people who maybe really cant afford it. so there is a downside to all this. Also the fact that new technology makes our kids lazy, I'm a father myself, and i remember when i was young we went outside and met other kids and played, today kids sends text messages more than they actually meet and this is one of the things that concerns me most. however there is nothing i can do about that so i cant do anything else than try to get my kids to not become lazy and get them out to do stuff. I do think however you can buy one phone that will suit you fine for at least 3 years today. *stops rambling*
