Which is another reason why I don't have an Iphone. I don't like being told what carrier I have to use.

How about Ford vs. Chevy, just for a change?

I've owned Fords. I've owned Chevys. I buy mostly Dodge.

I'm not an apple guy.

I have a blackberry and love it- I can't imagine a less useful phone than the iphone- you HAVE to sync it with iTunes, no multitasking, no tactile feedback with typing, no user replaceable battery or memory card support.

One of the main reasons I use one is because of iTunes and how easily things transfer. To each his own ...

You don't have to sync it with itunes, and it has multitasking soon (really awesome if you saw the vid)

Tactile feedback is sort of a personal choice so cannot comment on that.

The non-user replaceable battery is a *****, tho.

I can think of something less useful though, its called a WiMo phone! lol. I don't care who you are thats funny right there.

Saw this post on gizmodo and went damn:

Then saw Droid phone for 20 and went double damn!

I might have traded in my first gen iphone for the droid if I didn't have to use verizon.

I too am anti-apple. Over rated. Had an I-touch and it was a PIECE so why would i spend that much on a phone that i CAN'T insure. I went with the new DROID and friggin love it. Has tons of apps and is insurable.

and the flaming continues! This time with not even half truths but complete lies

this just in: apple has even more apps and is also insurable


edit: I'd also like if you could elaborate just slightly on with the iTouch is a "piece"

I'd go back to my old winmo phone *shudder* before giving up Verizon....

Jim,
I would join in and help you out BUT why bother?
Seriously, why bother? We can't change minds and won't.

The other day, while in Ft. Worth, I went to James' house (Croatan).
I could swear there were 8 to 10 of us there, at least.
I think all but one had an iPhone on the the table.

What does that mean?
Heck if I know other than if it sucked that badly, why would 9 out of 10 be so happy with them?

Hmmmm...................

I travel a whole lot.
I swear I am seeing twice as many iPhones now than Crackberries.
There was a time that was the opposite but not anymore.
What does that mean?
Heck if I know other than if it sucked that badly, why would so many more of them be out there now visibly to me than Crackberries or Droids or whatever?

Hmmmm....................

Me? I love mine.
Can't wait for the new one in the summer and the 4.0 system that will allow multitasking (more advanced that leaves files open unlike the one available now), folders for apps, and on and on.

You mean Apple Care? That only works from the original purchase date, so it would have been useless to me. Replacements don't work under Apple Care.

It does not matter how many apps are out there. Apps that I need are the only ones that are relevent. I'd rather have a phone that is durable like Motorola makes than play Pac Man.

Moses,
Luck varies of course but mine, my son's, and everyone else I know that has one has not had any issues with them.
I know that doesn't console you any but other than you, I really don't know anyone that has a negative to say about an iPhone.
They are neat, useful toys.
I would be lost without mine.

It is just the blind apple faithful Carlos that will buy any and every piece of sh*t the company puts out!


Hell Moses, you should see how many Apple products Carlos destroys, and he is still hanging with them! lol.

And you really couldn't buy apple care for your phone even though it was purchased at full price? I would understand if they replaced the phone because you had apple care that the warranty wouldn't start over, but you paid $199 for another phone... it doesn't make sense that if you purchased a new device that you couldn't get apple care for it.

No not apple care. There are third party providers who offer insurance for
the iPhone at reasonable rates, and the policies cover
accidental physical damage as well, eg a shattered screen from dropping it

I've had winmo phones bb's and now the iPhone IMO the
iPhone is better than any of the
other options out there but that's just me. For
those who can't get used to the idea of no having a physical keyboard you'd better get used to it. Today, tomorrow, or 3 years from now they ARE goi g away eventually. Haven you ever seen star trek, LOL

I've gotten to
the
point where I can type far faster on
my
iPhone then I ever could on a blackberry

[King James]

Yes, good point Vic. I figured there was 3rd party, but apple care is usually pretty good (maybe not for the iPhone, I wouldn't know.... don't have one)


and I'm starting to think that it isn't Apple users that blindly follow any products they put out just because its Apple, but Apple haters that blindly hate every product that comes out because its Apple

Interesting Jim.
I have many Apple products now.
I have them because I love their innovation, their look and the ease of use.
I don't buy anything blindly and I am not faithful to any brand.
I follow my desires at that point in time and who offers the best product for MY personal likes.
