iPhone?

[Berserk87]

Well, for one thing, I can control my computer with it. From anywhere in the world. Edit documents, view files, do everything remotely. As the poster above said, it's like a mini-computer in your hands.

i can do all of that on my htc p4000 which is more than a year old.:rolleyes:

i would say the only REAL pro of the iphone, the reason everyone buys it, is because it has a nice interface and its ease of use/simplicity. there are many phones that can do the same thing as the iphone and sometimes better, but the apple built the iphone so that it looked nice and anyone could use it, without having to have any previous experience.

Double tap the toolbar at the top of all apps and the iPhone auto scrolls you to the top of the window (where in Safari's case, the browser toolbar is).

its like a mini laptop in your pocket, anything from remote desktop, to playing some really unique games, I find my self using more of the business stuff then playing games on it though. its so many things in one. web browser, and music/video are the best out there for mobiles. call quality is nothing bad or nothing great.

a few cons, no replaceable battery pack, you'll need to send it to apple when the batterys go bad, or attempt to replace them your self which will void the warranty. another thing is the connector, it should have a little flapper thing to protect it, like if its in my pocket lint can get in there and i gotta spend time getting the lint out with a needle while hoping i dont screw up the connector. having the plug exposed like that is just stupid on apple's part. another problem is theres no buttons on the iphone to change the song/play and pause. you can only change the volume.

also, the speed applications open is not like it is in the commercials, everything takes at least 3 seconds to open.

in the end, the UI is the best out there and thats hard for anyone to argue with. and the apps are taking it beyond what anyone expected when it first came out.

2.2 jailbreak for me.

When the phone is locked you can double tap the home button to get music controls with out having to unlock the phone.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the poor camera. Only 2 megapixels, no video recording, not even a silly little light for low-light shooting. It's quite easy to blur photos. This might not be much of an issue for you, but I love casually taking photos and videos when I'm out, so the camera would be an issue for me.

This improves the situation considerably:

Works nicely.

- Mail.app has a tendency to not work at all if you have even one Exchange account (e.g. gmail + work)

Really? On my iPhone, I use Exchange (ActiveSync), MobileMe, and an IMAP account. Nothing ever crashes, refuses to connect, etc.

I hardly use the camera and I only used this app at night a couple of times. But I assume it does.

cycorder to take movies with sound, night camera takes clear pictures because it takes the picture when the phone is not moving

I am about to get it but I have a question, can I use ANY OTHER program to put music on it besides iTunes? I HATE that damn thing...

That's a no no mate ! Iphone's and Touch's databases are encrypted so no external program will work for putting music on the stuff. The program you mentioned works only for Classic, Nano and so on .

Can't say I'm a fan of iTunes. I will admit though the program is great for organising your music.

I just lost my sony W510i phone :( so now im looking for a replacement. Looking thr all ppl's Pros and Cons, iPhone seems good but still not sure about it. I love my w510i and i might get Sony W350 or W580i instead of iPhone.
