So, have any Foot.iers splashed out on an iPhone today?
(Sorry if theres another thread about it, couldnt see one)
I've no interest in getting one but was surprised to read that
the camera is low enough pixel and you cant forward texts
messages or receive picture messages!
I thought it was supposed to be the best thing since the sliced pan!
Pfft :rolleyes: Sliced pan is overrated. iPhone is way better - it does EVERYTHING! :DQuote:

iPhone only came out today? I'd wait for the 3G version. But it's a great piece of kit from what ive seen of it. But no video function and only a 2 megapixel camera whihch is pretty much standard these days....
no copy and paste functionality either and very little 3rd party app support
lads, this is all done on purpose, otherwise they wouldn;t be able to release a "second" version......things are always held back, so the hype takes over then people go "oh well, i cant do this and i cant do that", then markerting and advertising kicks in showing what can be done with the new release, and people buy it, and the same stuff happens over and over again.....how do you think they are still selling Ipods?!
PAURO: you have a habit of taking things literally :D He means it came out today in Ireland with supported network coverage from 02. OR at least Id say thats what he means....
Ive seen the phone and from a cool, wow aspect, its impressive, but I had a feeling practicallity could be a problem....
This official launch was a bit of a joke, anyone who wanted the phone already has it for months, unlocked it and is using it without any problems.
That's actually what I did mean.Quote:

I saw them in the US for $400 on contract but they 50% more expensive here at E400 with E45 per month contract. Current ones are not 3G enabled so would be best to wait 6 months for that.
I use work mobile so not much chance of upgrade to iPhone.
Someone on Boards worked out that with the vastly overpriced 18 month contract, the actual cost of an iPhone is about €900. Of course that doesn't include overages, which are also vastly overpriced. For a subspec phone with just a couple of innovative features, you'd need to be an impressionable moron to buy one. So that's all the Mac fans anyway. :)

It's very convenient being able to do mail on my mobile though, and being able to sync my contacts and calendar with my PIM. The qwerty keyboard is a boon too, I'll never buy a phone without one again.

Its virtually a mini laptop more than a phone.

The anti-mac stuff is overplayed, especially by nerdlingers.;)
The iphone in many ways is exactly like the rest of their products:
PROS
attractive design
small form factor
good screen
innovative user interface
easy setup
CONS
expensive
technology not as advanced as design
poor third party app development support
not scaleable
I own a Mac and wouldn't use any other OS at home but have stayed away from the Iphone to date. Maybe if the handset and contract prices were at the O2 UK level I may have bitten but I'll probably wait for a 3g release in the US and jailbreak it on my current network.
