SuS One, 28 Aug 2008Wait im not done please someone add some feedback about how amazing there reception is come on... moreThe iphone has very good reception, but of course that will also depend on who your carrier is. As for me, I have not experience any reception problems. As for 3g coverage, just like all 3g phones and carriers, there will be some areas that does not get covered. So far, with my iphone, it's been consistently getting 3g coverage. I can tell that you are really perverted.

Does your carrier use 3g technology? You do not have to be taught how to use 3g my friend. You just need to activate it in an area w/ 3g coverage.

              SIN - you just lost your bet. I bought my iPhone for cash.
              It makes me laugh how many people post their opinions about iPhone when its clear they never even try this phone, how it works, how sleek interface is, how easy to use it is.
              You can buy Nokia N96, and use 10% of its functions, I prefer iPhone with pleasure to acomodate 90% if not 100% of those.
              And the quality of build. I will not go back to squeaky Nokias.
              And the price - £160 for 16GB version, a lot of people can offord that. No more like year ago N95 was for £200 with much worse contract price plans.
              There is a flock of people slagging iPhone just for a sake of doing it. Good luck.

Most phones out there have qvga screens, so why are you complaining with half vga? Iphone's 3.5 half vga still looks much better than the Diamond's tiny 2.8 vga. As for the Xperia, that phone is not even out yet. Just proves that you are just rambling nonsense. How desperate of you.

                    SIN, 27 Aug 2008 oh man .. u are really stu_pid... bluetooth transfer is essential !! imagine that u... moreIf bt transfer is essential, all those millions of people who bought the iphone would've gotten rid of their iphones by now, so obviously, it's not essential.

                    If a friend wants a photo or logo from my iphone, I can email it them. As for the songs, they need to learn to download songs themselves. I didn't buy those songs just so my freeloader friends can get it for free. All my friends have email, so I do not have to worry about those people who doesn't. Seriously, who does not have email in the US? Email is part of your internet plan. You will not be charged extra for using email. Why not use it?

                    Video calls have been an available feature to some phones for a while now, buy I do never saw anyone using it. Why would I cry over that?

                    Ummm, why do I have to show my friends where I am? I've been to concerts, and I never really saw anyone making video calls. Also, your phone might get confiscated where video taking is not allowed in some concerts. Why would I stress over that? You obviously have not used the camera of the iphone. It takes good pictures. You do not need 8mp on a phone, unless your phone has a display size of 47 inches. You can transfer photos to your iphone. I do that all the time. You obviously don't have an iphone. As for the 16gb memory, that is more than enough for a phone. Get an external hard drive if you need file storage. I had many problems web browsing when I had my N95 and HTC Diamond, so the iphone is still better even without java.

                    Ummmm, why would I even keep the list of my last calls? I already knew they called.

                    Ummm, why would I change the battery? I just bought it. Do you change the battery of your phone every day? lol.

                    What? Iphone is slower than how it is in commercials? Well guess what? Other phones are even much slower in person than in their commercials =)

                    Feel free to continue mr iphone hater =)

                          Anonymous, 27 Aug 2008Well in the case of the missing Bluetooth File Transfer Protocol, u keep telling that better s... moreAs to wanting a picture taken from a phone that only has BT transfer capabilities with no internet, well that is just too bad for the iphone user, but if you think that because of that situation we would give up our iphone, you are wrong. The iphone offers other more important features that we could care less if you cannot send your picture to us, lol.

                          BT is only one option. File sharing does not end if you do not have BT. Email is still the main media for sending files. Sending files via BT is not a daily chore for the majority of phone owners. The iphone also has many qualities & features that are not found on a lot of other modern phones. It's a matter of which feature or qualities are more useful and important to the majority of users.

                                Anonymous, 27 Aug 2008Here are my iPhone 3g pictures that I promised that I would put up on my blog a few days ago. ... moreYou are lying. The iphone may only have a 2mp camera, but it does take decent pictures comparable to 5mp ones.

                                Here's my take on the 5 things that disturbs you the most with iphone.

                                "Cannot send or receive MMS" - I think the iphone can recieve mms files but not send. I really don't know why people complain about this with the iphone when they also limit sending mms because of the extra charges and end up emailing photos anyway.

                                "You can not forward SMS" - Now this would be nice if the iphone has this feature, but really, how often do you need to forward a text message?

                                "Cannot copy and past texts" - Same thing, this would be nice to have but you don't really copy and paste texts every day.

                                "Very poor 3G coverage" - But it does work, and it does have faster internet compared to any phones out there. I used to have the N95, and it's not even close to the iphone's great internet browser. And you are wrong, I have the 3G iphone and you can be on a call and on the web at the same time.

                                Look, the iphone may have not inlcuded some helpful features like sms forwarding and copy and pasting, but it does offer a lot more of other great features that makes it worth it. So, if you cannot live without sms forwarding and copy and pasting, then I guess the iphone is not for you, but it does not mean it's a bad phone.

                                  the screen size is 3.5 inches and it manages half VGA!!

                                  look at the HTC diamond, 640x480 pixels, 2.8inch screen

                                  take a look at the Xperia, 800x400 pixels, 3.0 inch screen.

                                  the iphone, 480x320...3.5 inch screen

                                  stop falling for, as steve jobs puts it 'that gorgeous 3.5 inch screen'.

                                      ok I been reading the previous posts and omg its so boring everyone that wants an iphone is winning for sympathy from the other like deep down they know its just a phone nothing else
                                      some one said if you want something else go buy sony or nokia, but everyone its like nooo iphone its the best ok ok but everyone knows its fauls too so if you like ok buy it its your money, belive me Im going to sleep tonight just as fine if you do, we all want to have the best but we cant all have the same point of view, anyway there are people that think of mobile phones as unnecesary as for them they only want to recieve calls,

                                      so quit complaining ok, if you want more jus t look for it, there will be the one

                                        Feature set and design don't compensate for crashing SW. Thanks!
