      iPhone - Are you getting one?
      Nov 05, 2007 09:33:00 am




      Well looks like it's out.  iPhone

      Anyone thinking of investing in one?

      TBH they look good, but I think it's a waste of time.  Oh and you remember the 'batteries that would last for ever' on the iPod.  They only seemed to work for a year then completely stop working.

      For tariffs - Tariff

      What next Apple?  An iCar?  :D

      "Idunno"

      Aaaah, but seriously....

      they sold like "Life jackets on the Titanic" over in the States, but am not too sure just what the opinion
      of them is now that the hype has died down...

      Ill wait I think for a few more versions before or If  I get one...

      Heard there was a software upgrade in the US and all those who had unlocked the phone from AT&T or tinkered with the software were left with a "Brick", and the guarantee was null and void as they had broken the contract. I myself am waiting for Sony W960i, 8Gb internal memory 3.2mp camera, touch screen.

      How much are they to purchase Court? Over two hundred quid and then the minimum monthly tariff of thirty five quid? Seems a tad bit steep.
      Watched a review about them on the gadget show (geek alert) and the only thing that didn't get a good say, was the camera on it?

      I haven't looked too much into it but as far as I'm aware it's only on pay monthly! 

      You big geek!  ;)  Someones got to watch those programmes on tele, though!  This device is going to remind me so much of the PS3, high prices, the rave about it will probably last only a week, and you pay a steep price for it.

      I'll just have a normal phone and my regular iPod thankyou very much!   ;D

      I'm not getting one - I've got the iPod Touch which is exactly the same thing but without the telephone calling thing and the 3G.

      It is indeed - fair usage applies.  And I've heard 02 3G isn't the best.

      I think they've dropped the fair usage thing for the iphone and have heard it doesn't use 3g but the slower EDGE internet thingy

      Looks pretty nifty but I'd rather have a free decent phone on a price plan I can afford (which I have now) and an i-pod touch or even a 80Gb Video (which I'm seriously thinking of, now the Touch is out! The prices should drop, hopefully)  8)

      The iPod Touch are great.  If you read the forum you can probably tell I'm a bit of a gadget geek and this is by far my number one at the mo.

      The iPhone, is just a bit to expensive.  If it had 3G I would snap it up.  The fact it doesn't rules it out for me.

      I'm actually starting to tempt myself.  It's hard to resist.

      The only thing about it that puts me off is that it can't record videos.  And why you can't is beyond me!

      I stopped believing Wikipedia when we all started messing about with it.

      Seriously?

      I can't believe you can't send a picture to another phone from the iPhone.  How sh*t would that be!
