Do you really love iPhone?

Aug 30, 2008 Cellphones |

Then head on and read what people are saying about this glamorous phone…

~ As i have said before, soldering the battery to the phone is a stupid idea. Once it’s dead you can’t put in a fully charged battery. A co worker of mine has this phone and he told to me when the phone freezes he can’t even shut it off and he can’t even take out the battery and pop it back in because it’s soldered. He also said if someone calls him he can hear it ringing but can’t answer it and his call display won’t work! ~

~ it’s a great phone if your uses are limited to basic calling and Ipod features.

It’s inadequate if you need repeat itineraries, like inspections, meetings, hearings, etc. that need to be posted on the fly since it doesn’t have copy/paste functions. Nor is it good if you need to forward quick mms pics for site evaluations (emailing attachments is really a suck if you have to do that regularly).

So it is useful depending on your needs. At the moment, it doesn’t meet my needs since IT IS NOT A BUSINESS PHONE. Nokia and Samsung are far better business phones right now. ~

~ Hi in reply to your questions. Iphone 3g can send sms and you can connect to a bluetooth headset. It can’t send mms or take video’s though. It could of done with a better camera(only 2mp) and there is no flash. But i am not atleast bit put off by this, no phone is perfect! This is in my opinion the best phone by far! Nothing evens comes close to be honest. No other touch screen phone works as perfect as the iphone 3g. The internet browser is first class! GPS is also a nice feature. As well as being the best mp3 player with the ipod function another great thing is the App store. This is were you can download thousands and thousands of free applications such as games etc. Don’t listen to all the negative comments coming from people who don’t even have the phone! ~

~ Friends i eagerly want to buy the iphone 3g but i m confused by the following negaive points i’ve heard abt it :

1) It cannot forward SMS’es

2) It cannot connect to a bluetooth headset

3) It cannot send MMS’es

4) No video recording

Can any iphone 3g user please clarify the above points…it’ll help me to decide whether i should buy an iphone or not… ~

~ Hi Guys. I disagree to those who support this crap stuff. I hope you all know that this stuff only supports a Bluetooth headset. Just imagine you have a phone in your hand but not capable of sharing a simple file. Bluetooth is a very basic feature in every phone out there in the market. I had decided to buy this stuff long back but you know it is not worth the money we spend on it. You can’t buy a phone just because it has good looks or the UI is something extraordinary than the others. Finally it is we who loose our money not apple, because it’s all business to them. I am an Indian. This crap is retailing here for $700. I suggest to all my friends out there think twice before you make a wise decision, later you should not suffer for what you have done. If you want a good phone there are many others that are coming in the market soon like Samsung INNOV8 & Samsung Omnia, Nokia N96. Hope all of take my words seriously. Bye !!!! ~

~”Best” is a subjective word. If all you need is an Ipod with phone features, then this is the “best”. If your the kind who uses MMS, takes occasional videos, and has to use the copy-paste function for your itenerary, then this is obviously not the “best” for you. Your best may be Omnia, SE G900 or Touch Pro.

Labeling Iphone as “best”, like it’s a universal constant is just plain asinine. ~

~ iphone is the real deal.
apple shows everyone what a cellphone should be. it doesnt need many fearures, specially features that does not make sense. what it has is what we really need and what will satisfy the user’s needs. instead of putting so many features that you really seldom or never use like other phones do. it focuses on the most usable features and where we always enjoy about in a phone. the multi touchscreen,the screen size, the audio and video player,the phone memory, and the internet device, is were iphone focuses and made that features their best and the best among all cellphones. because apple knows these features will enjoy and satisfy the users needs. and the other features like the camera,the connections like bluetooth and other features are just addtional. you just never use a cellphone as your primary camera! that is why there are real cameras, you just never use a cellphone for your office documents! that is why there is a loptop!
these features just doesnt make sense in a phone, doesnt make your phone a smart phone but a dumb phone! iphone is an example of a real smart phone. ~

As for my own opinion, iphone doesn’t really give justice for the price. It’s obviously overpriced. So if you plan to buy an iPhone 3g, you should think many times first and ask opinions from others who have experience in using this phone. Low battery life? its a no – no to me! If ever I get a chance of having this phone I would definitely buy turbocharger hahaha!
