Southside:

Until you get one . . .

Used one. Again, its nice, but the price tag does not justify it.

Please.... Have you actually used a lot of mobile phone cameras, as they are really rubbish bar the autofocus cameras in the high end nokias and sony ericssons, you are just bashing it because its apple.

No. I "bash" :rolleyes: it because it is a hyped up product when there are lesser hyped or no hype at all around other products which have better feature/price ratio.

The iPhone took those car photos? They're so huge and crisp. Wow. It's as good as a digital camera.

It should have great quality photos considering it is almost as big as a camera! I knew this phone was dimensionally huge, but it dwarfs the iPod and that's bigger than most cell phones these days! Ridiculously huge...I just can't get over it.

Nice Review but

How is Iphone revolutionary? It doesnt improve on any technical features that are being offered by PDAs today. Infact iphone is a step back. It doesnt have gps,3g,mms,active sync,remote terminal and not to mention it still has a 2MP camera and only 8gb space? For 600$ locked device, i would have excepted apple to include either more features or more space. No customization at all. No 3rd party support. People need to get thier head out of sand and stop calling this phone "revolutionary". Please, its anything BUT revolutionary.

My friend that lives in the States bought an iPhone and what he told me is not very promising.

Cons

1. First off, the non-replaceable battery is a very ****ty factor as the replacement program is expensive.

2. You cannot send SMS's to more than one person at a time, an inconvenience when trying to mass-message people

3. You cannot use headphones of your own without buying a $25 adaptor that kills the phone's esthetics.

4. Bluetooth only works for phone conversations but not for listening to music or Sync-ing to your computer, verry ****ty!

5. You cannot select MP3's as ringtones WTF??? It's a goddamn phone!!!

6. Limited applications for it and not many planned for the future because of Apple's desire to control what happens to the phone.....

7. Call quality is pretty bad, definitely should not be the case for a $600 phone.

8. Too damn expensive for what it is!

9. EDGE network that AT&T has is VERY slow! One of the worst in the world! I think Apple is actually asking themselves why they made a deal with these idiots anyway.

10. No flash / java support for the browser as of now.

11. No ability to record videos using the camera.....very un-impressing for a miltimedia phone.

12. No GPS built-in.....again, for the price this should have been a no-brainer.

Pros

1. It looks very good.

2. Interface is innovative and easy / fun to use.

3. Camera quality is very good.

4. Screen is very nice-looking and great for watching movies / pictures.

Bottom line, the iPhone is a device for people that don't really expect their phone to do that much and I think that for the price, Apple could have made a much better product. Remember, it only costs Apple $250 to make the 8GB version and $200 for the 4GB version.

I would buy one if it wasn't for the price. I always thought the point of the 2 year contract is to get a really nice phone for alot cheaper or free (thats the way it works for every other phone) but with the iPhone its more like you have to do a 2 year agreement to have the "privilege" of paying over full price for a phone. Its a ****ing joke. I could see if Apple was selling it unlocked to people for that price but they aren't. These should be selling for well under $300. Its almost rape.

Uh just to point out that is not AT&Ts fault. They have 3g which is much faster than edge but Apple were the retards that decided to go with edge instead.

The reason for that is R&D. That's why this one is fail, that's why the next one won't be, because they spent a boatload on R&D for that multi-touch screen and other stuff.

Once they make up the costs, the iPhone will be worth the money.
