Anyone pickup the new 3G iphone yet

[Homeslice]

Just sick & tired of ATT tho, but I may have to suck it up and get one. Looks like it's going to take longer than expected before Verizon is available on it?

[Tmall]

Buying an image, slice?

[Trip]

I'd wait, the S version isnt that big of an upgrade. If you held off this long, I would wait for the 4G stuff to start rolling out.

[Rider]

Not yet but I'm looking at one. The 8G can be had for only $100. The wife wants a blackberry so we might switch from Verizon to AT&T just to get the iPhone. Not sure why a stay at home mom needs a smart phone, but she wants one and I'm a douche for letting her get what she wants.

What's 4G?

[the chi]

I'd hold off if you dont need one right now...my hubby's boss got one, after playing with my hubbys 3g 2nd gen, as I understand it, the only difference is the size of the memory and the fact that its voice activated, you can tell it what to do...unlike older models.

[EpyonXero]

They really upgraded the processor, bus, and cache to make it a lot faster from what I hear. I wish I could get it on Verizon and there are rumors that Verizon will be getting an Apple mobile device (tablet?) at the end of this year or the beginning of next year but nothing concrete.

I have a Touch and with the new 3.0 software Im really looking forward to seeing what kinds of devices well be able to use with the port.

:lol: think she could just use the computer. Nah, it's an image thing for her with her friends. Got to keep a happy wife though.

It's not that much faster, it just has a few tweaks. It's not really worth it yet, maybe another price cut or better deal when you got the old gens for a $100 less. Or if you can get a older gen for cheap with no contract.

[the chi]

Yeah, Im suffering a tab bit of Iphone envy, but I'll hold out for the 4g, most likely a 2nd gen version...

Yeah like she needs another device to fiddle with. She kept fumbling with the GPS all the way down to FL looking for POI's and such. Finally I snapped and said put the god damn thing back on the dash. :lol:

[Homeslice]

Buying an image, slice?

No, buying the phone with the best physical design, a good OS, and the most number of apps. I don't go around showing my phones to other people, so I could care less what they think. Besides, I'm a little unclear how something that can be purchased for only $99-299 could be regarded as an "image" product.

Anyways, how long before Verizon finally gets a GSM network so it can offer the iPhone?

[LeeNetworX]

I'm a little unclear how something that can be purchased for only $99-299 could be regarded as an "image" product.

You've stated in the past how a wristwatch is nothing but "image". Plenty of nice looking watches in that price range.

[shmike]

Two years ago it was an image product.

Now it is a "me too!" product for those that wanted the image but were too stingy two years ago. :lol:

[Homeslice]

You've stated in the past how a wristwatch is nothing but "image". Plenty of nice looking watches in that price range.

Considering that if you have a cellphone you already know what time it is, making a wristwatch redundant......So yes, I'd say a wristwatch is much more about image than a phone is. Especially when the top watches cost $20K or more. How many phones cost that much?

Everyone is going to the same 4G network. However the base CDMA network will never change, it's too costly. They will slowly upgrade it out of existence. It will be years and years before it is all gone. As long as you don't leave a big city, this won't be an issue. However there are different frequencies even associated with GSM. So just because Verizon uses the same 4G as AT&T doesn't mean they will be compatible.

[Bluestreak]

Verizon doesn't have the iPhone yet, but they are getting close to something that could be just as good from samsung.

Because anything that's popular is only popular because of the "me too" factor. I see. :rolleyes:

My hunch is that most Apple criticism comes from people who ought to take a look in the mirror. Why? Because I'm betting the only reason they bash Apple so much is because it's THEY who care about image & attention, and are mad that their Motorola isn't giving them any. So they accuse iPhone owners of having the image problem. Basic reverse psychology.

Awww.... I'm a SAHW and my hubby just upgraded me to a Blackberry. Most of my friends don't live near here so it helps me stay in touch with them without having to park my ass all day on the couch in front of the laptop.
I'm in LOVE with BBMessenger now too!

However, I went from an EnV to the Curve and I HATE the small buttons. Imma have to replace my 'delete' key soon, I hit it so often. Gah!

I'm thinkin' of going over to play with the Storm and see if I like that better, but I like having real keys to push, so I dunno. I'm so confused :(

I can check the time on my expensive luxury watch much more discreetly than you can check the time on your billboard-sized iPhone.

Typical "they're just jealous they don't have one" mentality. You didn't state that, but your comments parallel that thinking.

The iPhone is really great for people who don't know anything about phones. It's easy to use and with all those commercials, I can actually figure it out. :lol:

WHY DIDN"T YOU SAY SOMETHING!!! I would have hooked you up with a cheatsheet a long time ago.

Here is section I.

Step one: Place phone in hand
Step two: dial number
Step three: hit send
Step four: Quickly move hand with phone in it to ear, keypad first.



Next time sweetie...don't sit there in silence.

I guess it goes against the grain, but I know 5 iPhone owners and none of them act this way. :skep: Most of them are jazzed to show me the cute apps they have on the phone and I admit, they're fun to play! I have Verizon so no fun games for me to play. But it's all good.

My guess is, you guys look at how the media portrays iPhone owners, as being trendy metrosexuals etc. etc., and you assume that to be reality.

There are a few obnoxious iphone users. I had one dude come by my cube and start bragging about copy/paste with the new OS. I was like dude, the blackberry has been doing that for ages. He was like "iphone does it better." And then he started going on about video and I said the same thing and the same thing happened. It was very annoying.

Given, I like to be an ass right back to them and like to diss the iphone. The commercials are fucking annoying though.

If you want to buy a $100 smart phone, you're a douche!

:lol: This thread makes me laugh. I love my Iphone, but more often than not I have to beat friends away that dont have them because they want to steal mine to play with.

They are cool, nifty little gadgets, and just like you have your Iphone douches, so too you have your BB douches, case in point, our lofty leader, TRIP.

You'd be amazed at the durability...mine has hit the ground umpteen times and I've never even scratched the darn screen(however I cant say the same for the mute button)!! However replacing the screen is almost as costly as a new phone! And when you're a junkie, it doesnt matter how small the screen is, you adjust! Its a 100% cure for the easily bored!

Yeah I am, but I am totally not converted. I really want to play with a Palm Pre. The BB and the iphone both have features I like, but I will not go to AT&T because of reception. That was the biggest factor for me ruling out the iphone. I am not a fan of the storm, every upgrade they have made so far as taken 2 steps back for every step forward. I have played with some other BBs that are awesome. I love the BB core software though. It's very very handy in a business world. I wasn't impressed with the Apple version of it. People had to come up with hacks and tricks to make it work similarly to the BB before the upgrade and it is still not as good after the upgrade.

[Amber Lamps]

Oh.. .see... being new to the BB I haven't ventured into that area yet. I'm still workin' the small keys. Imma have to check this app stuff out!!! :dribble:

Yea I have problems with small keys myself, to be honest that's part of the reason I've jumped off the "who's got the coolest phone" competition merry go round. I've posted this before but both ATT and Verizon both sell inexpensive ($100-300) netbooks that use their networks and WiFi to surf the internet. I'd much rather the larger keys and the 8 or 10 screen.:idk:

Well one thing they do have over the IPhone is insurance/extended warranty! There was no way I was going to buy a phone that costs $500+ to replace without insurance! Oh and :idk: but a guy I worked with literally picked a 3G up and cracked the screen about 3 days later... no bullshit!:lol:

No, I get outside and interract with people...I don't base my opinions on something I see on TV or in movies. My views/opinions of most are based on my direct experiences with them, as I know many iPhone owners. Some of them, sometimes, I wish I didn't know. LOL

However, I do assume you to be a trendy metrosexual. :?:

[pauldun170]

Homeslice is a very trendy metrosexual.

Did you know that MOST people thing that Homeslice is a very trendy metrosexual?

[Homeslice]

Never spent more than $40 for a pair of jeans, and I drive a 15-year old beater that's only worth $1,000, and an 8-year old bike that's only worth $3500-4000. So much for trendy.

To be clear: There are better phones than the iPhone. But they all cost more than the iPhone's contracted price.

The car your referencing is the Probe right? good car, I had one for almost a decade and I miss it. Mine was a great example and a strong runner.
I hope you are using the 3-M stuff for quick cleanups after "encounters" because if you take good care of it, that lil Ford should last at least 250K.

As for school. the music scene was a lot different than it is today so I'm not sure how to respond to your comment. We had a lot more diversity in music growing up and we had a very diverse student body so I'm not sure what to make of you comment. Guess it's an age thing.

You got that right! At least with that phone, you can be a leader instead of a follower, if you can wait until early next year for your phone. :)

Speaking of the Satio, I pushed your idea through the ranks some more today. Mixed bag of reactions so far, but I'll keep you posted!

I like Ericsson, in fact I have an older one now, but the question is, how much will it cost......Also, will it be a slider phone, if so, it's probably a no-deal for me. Can't stand how most slider keyboards feel like they're about to break off.

It's not a slider, it's a touch tablet (like iPhone) with 3 keys at the bottom (Send/Menu/End). It also has a 12.1MP camera and Xenon flash; takes really good photos, especially when you consider it's in a phone.

Just seach for Satio or Idou and you'll see a lot of info on it.

Looks good! It doesn't say or I missed it but does it do HD video like the Samsung? Also, is there any word on what networks or price yet?

[Particle Man]

I have the iPhone 3G (didn't upgrade to the "S" model) and updated to the 3.0 software. The next time I'm eligible for an upgrade, I'll probably go to the 3GS and give my wife the 3G :shrug:

No HD video on that one and no official announcement on what carriers will pick it up (and therefore no price). With any luck there will be a follow-up announcement with those details in a couple months.

Thanks! If I'm not mistaken T-Mobile carries a couple Sony phones so I'll keep my fingers crossed! I'm up for upgrade in about 3 months.:rockwoot: I don't know, I'm still scared of touch screen but at least I'll have the ins/warranty!

Prolly AT&T :rolleyes: since they have always been a Sony offerer

T-Mobile is now, too.
