Anonymous, 13 Nov 2008My iPHONE 3G purchase was an attempt to combine the functionality of the Palm TX with a Nokia ... moreI'll admit, the iPhone speaker volume has much to be desired, but Apple gave us those fantastic earphones/handsfree to compensate for it. I don't know about anyone else, but someone on the bus with their phone pumping out music at whatever decibels is just a pain.

And if you want to show a friend a song, just let them use the earphones. Its what people with iPods do already.

    Anonymous, 13 Nov 2008But for these 3 limited options(ipod,phone,internet) spending a mamoth amount is worth ?Limited? 16GB iPod touch, AU$419, there's half the price of the iphone already accounted for. And with the app store, it just expands its horizons.
    Now put a price on internet browsing and email, both of which, while I'll admit, aren't perfect copies of their desktop counterparts, still push the boundaries of phone browsing.
    And to top it off, a 3G phone.

    Hardly a rediculous amount any more.
    In Australia, a 16GB iPhone is cheaper than an *GB N95 by about $300. To me the 'limited' iPhone still seems like better value for money.

            Hi, i'm from Indonesia and i have played around with my friend's iPhone 2G.
            So i want to give some comments about iPhone :

            1.It's an iPod with a built-in phone (Not a Phone with a MP3 Player capability).
            2.An old 2MP Camera?? Without Flash and AF?? Well, the camera is not the main function on iPhone. The camera is just a bonus from Steve Jobs. But the camera is good enough i think.
            3.No FM radio??? Who need FM radio?? I use Nokia 6233 but i never use the radio. So who cares....
            4.No Forward SMS / Copy & Paste Function??? That's true, BUT there's 3rd party aplications which can do that. ex.iSMS
            5.It's very easy to use, i love it very much.
            6.It has a GPS receiver, but there's not a Turn by Turn Navigation software. Yet...
            But there's a software which reveal the iPhone GPS function, it's iPhone GPS kit.
            7.The Software's Free. (u should jailbreak 1st)
            8. And much more...
            9. And much more...

            My friend who has an iPhone also has a Nokia E90. He said that iPhone is more amazing than E90 beside the E90's Turn by Turn Navigation (Nokia Maps). The E90 is quite boring than iPhone.

            Summary :
            -iPhone is a very simple Device. Any1 can use it. Unlike Windows Mobile. (No offense here. But i was a Winmob Fanatic since 2002, but the iPhone has change my opinion)
            -iPhone has Limited Features like lack of Flash/AF, Radio, etc. But who cares... It's still gorgeous.
            -The system is very fast and responsive. (u can browse 3000 picts less than 1 minute)
            -It doesnt hav DELIVERY REPORT. That's annoying, but i think i can live with that.
            -iPhone produces CLEAR Sound via headphones, it wins over my Walkman NW-S200 for The Sound Quality. BUT iPhone lacks on BASS, iPhone produces more natural sound than Walkman. But still the walkman's sound quality is very good and Walkman produces MORE DEEP BASS.
            For Sound Quality :
            Walkman : 8 iPhone : 9
            For Bass Quality :
            Walkman : 9 iPhone : 6.5

            BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES....
            I STILL PREFER IPHONE over NOKIA E90.
            I Dont have an iPhone yet. But i've ordered one, it will comes on January2009. When my friend go back to Indonesia from USA.

            IPHONE ROCKS.......

            ps. i dont work 4 Steve Job. I just a college student, this's just my opinions. That's all. Thank you.

            REMEMBER : IPHONE IS AN IPOD WITH A PHONE FUNCTION, THE CAMERA IS A BONUS.

                i use iPhone and 6500c right now
                but i used to use P1 i, n95, n73. sometimes i borrow my friend's HTC pro, diamond, also E71..
                none of them give me pleasure like the iPhone gives me

                  love the design and true the volume is better then the iphone
                  but the bat life...
                  such an annoying phone since i have to charge it every day..

                  i can't store my music and video there...

                  for me it is just "another phone" while i phone is one great phone..

                  use vibrate and you won't really care even if the sound of your iPhone is not heard since you can feel the vibrate...

                    !, 13 Nov 2008"Look if ou want a fantastic multimedia device get an iPhone 3g. $300 gets you a phone, pda, i... moreread my post
                    i've tried and experience how sux it is
                    really trust me if u use an iPhone and try using the pro iu'll hate it.

                    first the screen is freakinly small
                    too small for a touch screen phone

                    the accelerometer is not as responsive as the iphone

                    if u say it is a multimedia phone it means u never use it..

                    it is a winmo phone made for work,, none of the aspects is making it a good multimedia phone..

                    mediocre performance video and music player, how can it become a good multimedia phone..

                    the camera works average not impressive, besides im not using my phone to take pics since i use my compact Olympus..

                    biggest flaws..
                    it lags crash and freeze a lot,, read me A LOT

                          I, 13 Nov 2008I have to say that your photographic standards must be pretty low to assume that your n95 is g... morelow standards for pics you say...don't assume things. you are degrading high end camera phones, as if they are similar to low end camera phones. you are so wrong.
                          you heard bout or have seen the n93 or n93i, right? both phones designs are camcorder like. optical zoom with, ofcourse, carl zeiss optics are included in the camera along with other camera functions. awesome devices for taking pics. how do i know this? i also own an n93i.

                          i prefer an all-around cell phone that has the functionality of an internet, great camera, and a phone for the convenience of carrying one device.

                          that's cool if your co workers chose free iphones. again, it is a matter of preference.

                          Windows mobile and symbian phones are also fast. I own the iphone, moto q9h, n95, and n93i.

                            there are two more phones with optical zoom : the n93 and n93i. Both cell phones are built like a little cam-corder.

                            yeah, optical zoom is better than digital zoom. however, with digital zoom you can always edit the photos.

                            that's cool that you prefer the iphone. i prefer both my n95 and n93i over my iphone. as i had stated, it is matter of preference.
