My only reason to get the new iPhone is that I have a 1st gen model.

"All these smartphones are much more powerful than the iphone, but some how apple got the huge market. "
Yeah....because the iPhone is a pleasure to use, out of the box, for 99% of the people out there. Useability counts for a *lot*, and say what you want about Apple, but that's one area in which they excel.

People like to hate on what's popular. The iPhone is an awesome device that has made my life a lot easier with all its apps and perfect syncing capability. The only problem with the iphone is that it sucks as a phone, but that's ATT's fault. Anyone know if/when apple will ever get its nuts out of ATT's vice?

Its the other way around, AT&T has its nuts in Apples vice. You should see the terms Apple demanded when they let AT&T have the iPhone (AT&T makes almost nothing from it). This is also why no other carrier would touch it (Apple offered it to AT&T after all the other carrier laughed at their terms).

And can you say that Android isn't? Didn't think so. And with Android you don't have all of the restrictions that Apple places on apps, which also makes you have to worry about if that app you bought will get deleted from the app store and vanish from your phone in the future. And Android has flash support.

"And can you say that Android isn't? Didn't think so."
Compared to the iPhone? Lawl, sure I can. Your attempt to defend the Android platform falls on deaf ears. I know the advantages of Android...you're preaching to the choir. Point is...Apple excells at Useability. It is unmatched by any other company in that singular aspect. That's why the iPhone is so damn popular. Nothing you've said challenges this. Come on, Jday. I expect better from you.

And then they charge us $$$ to use the iPhone. so I'm fairly certain they are not losing money on this deal.

I'll wait 3 months then hop on the iPhone 4 when more accessories are available. Sure the iPhone isn't a powerhouse compared to some other smartphones but it offers the best balance of usability and features. For the phones on the Att network I think the iPhone is the best fit for me but I wouldn't be opposed to trying out a droid or palm

I've had my iPhone 4 for 3 days now and couldn't be happier. No it doesn't drop signal if I hold it upside down by the headphones on the third tuesday of the month. No it doesn't play flash so I don't get to see all the advertisements that constitute 90% of the flash media. Yes it is wicked fast. And no, I am not an apple fan boy. I hate Mac's.
I don't understand this constant need to bash the iPhone because you choose not to own one. |

"Wrong. Apple does not have the huge market."
Wrong. 21%, as of Feb, is a pretty huge chunk of the market. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/and...ata-2010-05-10

This is my first iPhone and I <3 it. If the Evo hadn't been perpetually sold out when it launched I would have had one, but I'm glad the chips fell as they did.

According to this article, the iPhone aquired more first-time buyers than the Evo/droid sold in total. 1.5 million units in 3 days to Sprint's ~150k. No huge market there now

let the fanboys drool over the new next best thing
http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/06/24...issues-so-far/ those of us with more sensible money can wait for apple to figure out their hardware issues by letting their most loyal customers field test the damn things and purchase one IF they get it right. until then the iPhone will remain a hugely overpriced sometimes effective toy/status symbol

About the same, since most folks buying the iPhone 4 are simply upgrading devices, not buying their first iPhone, or changing service.

2. I don't need it. 3. I don't need it. 4. I don't need it. 5. Ammo costs money too.

It's okay if you don't like Apple products, I didn't have an opinion either way until I switched to a Macbook Pro at work a few months ago, now I'd fight tooth and nail before going back to a Lenovo/Windows laptop. I also buy Cisco network hardware exclusively for business use. Yes it's expensive and yes it's rock solid. In Many ways Cisco and Apple are similar. Of course, I haven't paid out of my own pocket for a single Apple product outside of the 3rd gen iPod I bought in 2003.
