Please give credit where it is due, and applaud Apple for a job well done for the past few months, even outselling RIM (BlackBerry).

But saying that they're the third phone manufacturer in the world right now? That's a fanboy talking and trying to get away with it.

The iPhone is great. I always recommend it to anyone. It is THE phone at the moment. But when you know that it doesn't do half of the things you expected it to, you inform other people, like what I'm doing here.

As a business user, a SmartPhone (you know, one that multi-tasks) is essential. This is NOT a smartphone. Not even the WORLD BANK CHIEF can change facts.

    Well, like I said, immature bankers brand this as a smartphone, whilst those experienced teenagers will go for the Nokia N97.

    Acceptance is part of the solution. If you guys accept that this is a smartphone, then it will stick to the same formula, instead of upgrading to its full potential.

    I gotta hand it to you though, that parallels reference was a good one! LoL

        The device is a glorified ipod. completely overated. it does not support the following: video calling; voice activated dailing; forwarding sms; sending & recieving mms; copy/paste; switching off predictive text; bluetooth file transfer; video recording; fm radio; A cheap phone does more than this overpriced one does

          Intel Pulls Back Execs' Comments on iPhone

          10.24.08

          by PC Magazine Staff
          A statement by Intel, released Thursday, appears to slap down executives who reportedly made disparaging comments about the iPhone.

          Intel executives Shane Wall and Pankaj Kedia criticized the iPhone in a session at the Intel Developer Forum Taiwan, as reported by ZDNet Australia. The comments dealt with the iPhone and its ARM microprocessor, which Intel competes against with its own line of embedded microprocessors, including the Atom microprocessor.

          But Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel Corporation's Ultra Mobility Group, repudiated the comments in a blog post on Thursday. (Intel does not link individual posts.)

          "As general manager of the Group responsible for Intel's ultra-mobility products, he acknowledged that Intel's low-power Atom processor does not yet match the battery life characteristics of the ARM processor in a phone form factor; and, that while Intel does have plans on the books to get us to be competitive in the ultra low power domain - we are not there as yet," the post stated. "Secondly, Apple's iPhone offering is an extremely innovative product that enables new and exciting market opportunities. The statements made in Taiwan were inappropriate, and Intel representatives should not have been commenting on specific customer designs."

              I tell you y you do not understand, because with bluetooth you would send ILLEGALLY the files to other devices, APPLE legalized the music download market with Itunes music store which is today the number one LEGAL multimedia retailer, stick to Nokia and the other 1000 times better devices if you like to live in the gray shade illegal area.
              Apple is a company that makes billion of dollars of legal profits and makes millions of consumers happy like the 12,6 million people that bought the Iphone in the past 15 months.

                Using this App my iPhone paid for itself over 100 times, although I have lost a few in the last couple of weeks.

                Bloomberg is pretty good as well full of info although you can't actually trade.

                    "smartphones "
                    They are market leaders and do not want to benefit from the other phone brands users ?
                    Or is it because the Iphone provides unparallel performance as a smarphone compared to the others ?

                      I like iPhone's design, from the UI to the physical features because it appears to be so classy.
                      But there were things that I don't like, the lack of most basic features for a phone.
                      But still I like this one along with my N95 8GB.
                      How was the phone when your listening music using phone's speaker?
                      How was also the phone when used as loudspeaker during a call?
                      I want some feedbacks from the user.
                      I don't like the one from the review.

                        Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I may not be over the moon with the iPhone, but hands down, IT HAS THE BEST UI (User Interface) out there.

                        Even an unborn baby can use it.

                        But if we are talking about things like, say, if it's worth it? That's debatable, and I think it's too expensive.

                        It's more of a status symbol. "Hey look, I have an iPhone, I have a big doink!" Hehe.

                        A smartphone it is not. It obviously tries to be one, and thanks to this, you can automatically see those big name reviewers where they're coming from, and if they're full of stinky poo.

                        Anyone who brands the iPhone a SmartPhone has not used a smartphone PROPERLY. ;)

                        BUT, this is still the BEST media phone at the moment. I just wish it could play WMA and AVI like a BlackBerry does.

                          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Yeah I agree, the iPhone is sick, it's the sickest phone out.

                          I'm glad you want to applaud it, I think it's worth clapping too.

                          Now do your 1,1,1 votes and run along no-one cares about your asterisk laden opinion.

                                    The phone promised to be the "bahemoth of all phones" (the way it was advertised) but in the end, it was more or less a much ado for nothing type of episode. Unlike UK / US, there is no 3G in South Asia :( Second, in UK / US, you don't have to fully front the bill, you can lock on w/a mobile operator and pay maybe 200 bucks or something....here, you have the operator lock, but you have to pay the FULL price for the iphone. That amounts to about 40k bucks, and for that price, I can get a decent AMD powered phenom PC or even a midrange laptop. And after paying full price for the phone, the operator lock still remains....the camera promises 2 megapixel, but it's only a VGA camera. I'd give this product maybe 4/10 in terms of value for money...

                                        And because once you get used to the Iphone it is impossible to go back to a stone age phone like Nokia, Motorola,Samsung etc.
