Bassam, 09 Aug 2008Hahahaha, you are right. I also wounder why iphone is not supported in many operators around ... moreIt is beacuse Apple want to have 1 reseller. it has been like that in every country the iphone i released.. but you can unlock the phone by yourself, relly simple. then you can use the operator you want.

The reason why the iphone is only on a few networks is because as one of the best handsets around to date, it only uses the best networks and is sold from the best stores.
Samsung spend to much time making things look good rather then making things work, why was money on somthing that looks good when u can get a iphone that not only looks good, but works. Any questions?

No real Ap... moreI don't understand why you people talk against devices you've never used and you've probably never even seen for real. Why don't you just go to an apple store, or to a provider store and try it yourself?
The price may be too high, along with the contract for 2 years you must sign. It's true, considering the fact that the production expenses for iPhone 1G were about 200 US$, and for iPhone 3G about 173 US$ (because they removed the metal cover from the back, in order to let the GPS, Wi-Fi and HSDPA antennas work properly). But if Nokia or Samsung or HTC, etc, will announce their own production expenses you'll be amazed to find out that they are even lower then that.
This is how you make big business, folks!

I'm Sorry to all it offends but apple are poo and release nothing but poo products.. i have never been a fan and never will be, the limititations they put on products is unbelievable. You buy and apple product because yes it looks nice and yes it does some cool stuff but it only does a quarter of the cool stuff that it should do.. I wouldnt even have an iphone given, if it was forced on me i would throw it against the wall, i hate apple...

HTC Touch Diamond is cheaper in unlocked mode, unlocked iPhone cost you a bomb. Don'T compare with samsungs... Samsungs are the most expensive, and imho the less designful phones, trying to force all in one phones (they really know simply too much to comply) Me persoally just promised myself not buying a non-unlocked phone again. Simply can'T understand people who wants to buy the samsung dual sim phone non-unlocked. The WNDs are much better and nicer phones, you can't hear a wrong word for them, all who owns loves it, but who belives, if their not making a well-known smartphone? And they should spend more to marketing, coz their phone won't be the part of t-mobile or vodafone advertisements, and normal people search only for unlocked dual sim phones.

I have my iphone 3g since July 11th, I was very pleased to have it on the release date without falling in line, just because lucky enough to visit one big mobile shop in my area here in kawasaki city and having one... i really appreciate this unit very much but one thing I notice the quality of case material is not as good as the previous iphone.. I happen to have it also.. the new iphone 3G case seems very fragile.. the sim card tray has already some chirping on the sides, since I tried to remove my sim card from time to time to test with hypersim card (carefully done).. but in general this iphone 3G is really good for me except the housing, better Apple retained the original housing..

Whats the deal saying iphone 3G is expensive?
Give me a break, is sold out everywhere, people are willing to pay for it despite yes comments about lack of certain features.
When you guys say lack of features, go get the Samsung. Then you guys say that is more expensive.
I mean seriously?
HTC Diamond touch is no less cheaper, it has 4GB no TV-OUT, lousy battery as well
IMO, I love the samsung but it was a bit out of my budeget range.
Iphone 3G costly? No. there is the 8GB version and comparing to HTC Diamond touch I dont think so.
If your network provider is abusing it thats a different story.

im not sure if a lot of people know that this new 3g iphone back cover is made out of cheap material, because there are a lot of complains from many iphone 3g owners (especially the white one) there are many hair-line cracks forming all over the back and many users claim that they have never dropped their phone or put any pressure on it
heres some proof...

its $199 with contract (and you have to get certain add-ons with the contract so in the end you still end up paying $430 for the phone), but if you buy the phone on a normal contract its $399 and if you just want the phone without contract its $599.
the $199 is just to attract people to buy it without knowing that there a catch behind it

This Michael Aleander guy must be one of the Apple's great and clever marketingers. No real Apple fans like the one he played would ever talk over my head like this. "Two long comments, I won't read the one under" - thinks the reader coz nothing shows it's a reply to that. Great job Apple, you could invest more than enough money to keep the good fame of your underquality products.

In a few words, if you already have an iPhone 1G it's difficult to decide whether to buy the new iPhone 3G or not. If you have a lot of money to throw, or you are a mobile internet addicted or you like to travel a lot in foreign places, here we go. But if it's not your case, better keep your first generation iPhone because the free firmware update gives you all the other features of the new iPhone.
If you don't have any iPhone and you are a real fan of mobile devices, this one it's a must-have-stuff. I've had plenty of phones, mostly smartphones, but this is completely different, it's standing alone above all the rest. It's not only about user interface and touchscreen; the best thing about iPhone is the possibility to fix almost all of the so-much-debated missing features by firmware updates. And it's the simple design, the solid sensation that it gives you when you keep it in your hand.
Future firmware updates can solve all the following problems: the Java and Flash support; the copy-paste thing; the MMS thing; the bluetooth file sharing and A2DP thing; the voice command thing; the FM radio support; and more. Only the camera cannot be upgraded that way (and the missing of the memory card slot), but who cares about that? A Nokia Nseries-like camera would make this device look weird, and would increase it's thickness and weight. And what for? Standalone cameras will always be better than phone cameras.
It has A-GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, TV-Out, accelerometer and countless applications that can increase the number of things it can do. For 3 to 5 US dollars you can borrow the latest movies, DvD-like quality or even High Definition, and watch them on your device or connect it to your LCD tv or plasma TV. For 10 US Dollars you can buy a movie.
Conclusion: iPhone 3G is among the best smarty and it can still be easily improved by firmware and software. It may cannot do what most cheap phones can do, but it also can do what no other phone can do. I strongly recommend it for mobile freaks! :)
