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)

I liked my iphone a lot until I washed it. It was stable, got great reception, and was a good phone. My complaints were that it was very slippery to hold with dry hands, and it wasn't as loud as my old LG. Also couldn't use it as an external HD.

You are bonkers though the 3G i.e. MMM to sidewinder version will be out within a month - I recall the appleshow is just around the corner!

But if you have money to burn for old tech... pop to the shops now PS I also get 6% off at apple

The shelves are getting emtpy. That is a sure sign the new one is just around the corner. I hate my phone... and now it broke. I am using a old phone with my sim card right now. Debating if I should get a Iphone or not.

FWIW I had a HTC 8525. Was flucky from day one.

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.
