What's with the iPhone bashers.
    #8090437 -

So I got an iPhone as a gift.  I already had an iPod so I was like "heh whatever" but holy mother of god this phone is so fucking sweet.  I'm posting this message from my iPhone btw.

So to all you nay-sayers,  let's see what a shroomery post looks like from your fucking phone! :wink:

The thing I hate the most about the iPhone is that everyone who uses one has to say "hey, I'm posting this from my iPhone!".

I got an email from one of my clients the other day, and underneath their signature at the bottom, it said "Message sent from iPhone".

Who really gives a fuck?

well in an email it may serve to let people know that the email was sent from a phone.  So if it was abrupt, or to the point its easier to understand why.

I'M POSTING THIS FROM MY IPHONE! :tongue:

LOL I can even use the gremlins!

iPhones come with that signature at the bottom of emails from the factory.  You have to change the sig, or disable it manually.  So if the person that sent you the email didn't know there phone very well than they may have not noticed the phone was doing that to their emails

Just saying.  Its not like they went to the trouble to type that into the email themselves.

*posted from an iPhone.  :kingcrankey:

someone showed me their iPhone the other day

i like how when you turn the angle of the phone the whole webpage arranges to be seen from that angle. no idea how they did that.

i also heard that there is a specific virus coming out that is going to zap all those 500 dollar iPhones to shreds.

People bash iphones and Apple because although the technology is usually quite innovative, its usually way over-prived, and over-hyped.

For instance, the iphone isn't even 3G. This means that without wi-fi, it's internet speeds/connection are essentiallly non-existent. Call clarity is also diminshed by lack of 3G. In sum, the ability of the iphone to act as:

A. a phone
B. an internet connectivity device

are inferior to existing products on the market. But wait! "OMFG I can rotate the phone and use my fingers!!!!!".

Then theres the entire reason a person needs to carry a "smartphone". People normally carry "smartphones" because they have to. Usually these people have busy schedules and need to be in contact with others due to responsibilities and their professional lives. Most people with iphones carry them because they need to "rock out to itunes" and check their myspace, facebook, and friendster accounts (as well as post on internet forums).

Business people carry smartphones. Prepubescent, spoiled, annoying teenagers who need to look cool carry iphones.

Thats why people bash iphone users; it's about the image and the user, and only partly due to the phone.

Maybe Apple has realized that 3G is overrated.

A) Almost everyone in cities across the United States has a wifi connection all the time. and its usually free to them.

B) How high does the fidelity need to be when it’s nothing more than a voice over a phone?

The entire city that I live in is plumbed for wifi. There are wifi antennas on every other street light blanketing the entire city. There is vary rarely a moment when I don’t have internets access via wifi. In fact, I would much prefer wifi over any cellular internet service that I have to pay extra for.

Now, im sure for people like you, who obviously live out in the sticks, probably don’t have wifi every where. But then again, Apple isn’t marketing the iPhone to the redneck crowd anyway....

Apple realizes this about (Most) of America. And made them a product to take advantage of this.

And to say your “smartphones” even have internet access is a joke. I’ve tried accessing the internet on a black berry. Fucking forget it. The iPhone has a real internet browser. Not a fake toy browser.

Eh, to each there own but so far the only people I see bashing iPhones are the people that cant afford to buy one for themselves. But that is common for most possessions. As far as the iPhone, we will see where this goes throughout the year, and how many companies scramble to make copies. I gotta get back to my, iAno lessons.

I live in one of the top 15-20 most populated cities in the U.S. Wi-fi certainly isn't "everywhere on every pole in the city". Wi-fi certainly isn't on any major highway. In most major airports you have to pay for wi-fi. If you stay in a nice hotel, you have to pay for wi-fi. The bottom line is that wi-fi certainly isn't as prevalent and accessible as people think. If you're in an oasis of wi-fi connections then you should be able to find a laptop. The time you truly need internet is when you are out of range of wi-fi on the go, and on the road. Many smartphones can also get around this by *gasp* having BOTH wi-fi AND EVDO.

With an iphone you go out of range of wi-fi you lose internet connectivity. Period.

As for browsers, they are being developed quickly. There are now browsers with embedded flash that provide the same "full" internet that safari has. There will be more as well, thanks to the lovely "third party applications". Competition spurs innovation. Check out skyfire for the latest.

Apple has brilliant marketing. What they realized was that there was an entire horde of sheep who never needed a mobile internet device, but could be talked into thinking they did. Then they skimped on real fucntionality (e.g. a keyboard and 3g), packaged it with flashy features, and sold it. They realized that if you were a rich college kid, you would buy it just to be cool. Then they forced users to pay EVEN MORE by bundling it with an excessive rate plan.

With all that endlessly free wi-fi, how come you have to pay for an unlimited data plan with an iphone??...hmmmm. Consider that the "unlimited data" is the EDGE network (read: non-functional). If you pay for a useless data plan, then you fit apples mold: DUMB.

There will be clones because apple managed to create a new demographic for mobile internet phones: people who don't need them. Apple proved retards will pay for hyped, substandard technology. Who wouldn't clone that and get in on the aciton?

iphone is badass. i agree with anon above, those who bitch and complain, are just jealous, because honestly why else would they care so much to go out of their way and bash it? probably cause they don't want to spend the money on one. or they don't want to switch to at&t.

i wish i had one, but i can't justify spending the money on one, if i was rich, hell yeah i'd buy one. i'd have several phones and just switch the sim card out whenver i please. i'm still thinking about buying one, but i'm waiting until they come out with a newer model.

all in all, it's not the best phone. it has some really cool features, it's got the best browser i've ever seen on a phone. (still lacks a lot imo, such as can't watch embedded videos on websites BIG CON for me).

granted i'm not a big fan of the blackberry and smartphones. I fucking love PPCs though. I wouldn't trade my ppc 6700 for an iphone and it's kinda outdated. even though I think the iphone sucks a fat one. I really enjoy there being more competition that will stimulate the ppc development.

you don't have to be rich to buy an iphone, but you'd have to be crazy rich to be able to switch out the simcard whenever you want since you'd have to have a custom built iphone because you can't put a simcard into an iphone and have to set it up on your att account through itunes on your computer.
