iphone - 05.19.2008, 04:00 PM

hey guys i have a real quick question!!

currently i have the xv6800 pcket pc and i have to say that the phone sucks... it LAGSSSSSSSSSSS SO BAD and you cant even watch videos on the phone.....

verizon is an ok provider i cant complain but the phones are quite lame IMO.

im lookin to get the iphone today and need some QUICK responses!!

i know the iphone 2 may be coming out this year but ill deal with that when it comes. i just want a phone that is worth its money (my phone is worth about 400 and it blows.)

let me know what you guys think about the iphone!! (i will be getting it with unlimited internet use also)

thanks!

DO NOT GET THE IPHONE it lags even worse with random lock ups. Waste of money. Get he BB pearl or Curve it is very fast and can do everything

you asked for our opinion ad we gave it to you. If you had already planned on getting the iphone why ask us if you should or not. If you want the iphone get it. Just think you will regret it. iphone is only cingular too and they suck.

I don't think an iphone sucks. They are nice gadgets, not as unstable as you say/experience they are. The only downside is that you need dedicated software to control them.. (itunes, which includes a virus named quicktime) They will get unstable if you use 'odd' software, but so is allmost any other OS based device.

It's obvious you are no apple fan, but an iphone doesn't suck, and a blackberry doesn't rule.

They are great devices. a downer is that the back is relative fragile and will scratch pretty soon. (but so will any other phone)

No actually i love apple just not the iphone. I even like the ipod and what not. i i never said BB rule i just said they are good phones to get. i have used iphone and BB and just like the BB better. I have also used windows phones and i have to say they are worse than all of them. I just think the iphone cost way too much for the funtions it does and your monthly bill is outrageous. Im sure apple will come out with a better one though and i would like to see that one.

this is where you are wrong blfuture

my phone bill for verizon is 100 bucks and i get is 450 minutes. unlim internet and free verizon txting.

with at&t i will get 450 min unlimited errone txting and unlimited internet for the same price. but with at&t i can txt anyone... with verizon i have to pay a grand amount.

im guessing youve never really compared plan pricing?

also, you get a ipod and a phone built into one device. i dont know where you get to think that the iphone isnt worth it.

the ipods are not worth it if you ask me. why pay 300 for an ipod when you can pay 100 more for the iphone?

im sorry but i just had to clarify this.

Yeah. I don't see why so many people get iPod Touches and why the iPhone is so unpopular.

Also, I'm having a problem with my mail. Whenever I click on the mail icon on the home screen, the mail starts to load and then disappears, and goes back to the home screen. I had it hacked with installer and all of that but then it had a MAJOR glitch and when I clicked the top button to put it into sleep mode the screen would go about half dark and all my screen that you see when you use the slider to start the phone would appear, about half dark. The icons on my home screen would work, but doing anything on any app did not work at all. So, I restored it on iTunes to take installer off and the rest of the phone works, but my mail does not. BTW, when I hacked it, I was using the 1.1.4 firmware and I used the ZiPhone hacker, (supposed to be the one that works with 1.1.4....) Can anyone help me?

the ipod touch, to me, makes no sense. it's just eye candy without the mass storage gooey center of the ipod classic.

i have, and love, the 160gb ipod classic. it holds/archives over 7,000 of my songs, over 2,000 of my high res photos (i take a lot of shots with my digital rebel), about 8 full movies, and is still under half the capacity. works great as an external storage device as well, and i have the other 80gb at my disposal.

i lost all my music and pictures when an old hard drive decided to fry out, so being able to archive my full music and photo collection on my ipod is important.
