Just b/c you put a smiley at the end doesn't negate the fact you're being a jerk.you're wasting your time with him.

Slingplayer? How are you going to do that over 2g unless you are now saying I'll require a wifi connection. Awesome.Oh Gosh,
The phone was just announced . Do you think DOCs to GO will sit and not make a version for this bad boy or other wise apple would not make an app to open word document or excel for that matter? Similarly Outlook syncing ?
Slingbox will come as the phone comes,for sure by the end of the year .
People will find a way to unlock this bad boy and than T mo users will come .
3G is the only issue , however if wifi is that frequently available , i atleast do n't care about 3G .
You may or may not need that much battery life . I bet the charger is going to be small and easy to carry .
In other words give the phone sometime .

Guess you ran out of actual arguments since you can't refute my posts.
hey, why not one more!
hopefully that will make you feel a little better, and perhaps want to treat others with some respect. and while you're trying to find some goodness in your heart, realize that others can have any opinion they want on these devices and that yours is not the only one. we understand that you think it is.
can't wait to see what the iphone can do when released.
It does but only from Yahoo. They seemed to have inked an exclusive deal (though not really exclusive as we can get push Yahoo via Yahoo 2go service already)Will the iPhone support push email? I didn't see tht feature.
The way I see it. The iPhone really isn't intended to compete with or replace the PDA phones (WM5, Palmos, Sybmian.) Rather it's targeted toward 'phone' users like Razrs, flip phones, etc and particylarly those that are ipod users. After all it's the 'iPhone' not the 'iPDA'. So it'll do VERY well in that market. I just think it's way too expensive for what it is.

Lastly, it has no buttons, and I like buttons on my phones.

I agree with this, but what gets under my skin is how Steve presentation purposely compared the iPHone to Smartphones, giviing the illusion that the iPHone is a better smartphone.

The OP asked if it does PUSH email.Where do you get this stuff from? They are offering it with Yahoo, but they have full IMAP and POP. There's nothing that says it does or doesn't do IMAP IDLE which is push. Until more details are available you can't make this assertion.

You forgot streaming radio, GPS, network admin, VOIP, system security, ability to add 3rd party programs.
Once again, this is a fancy multi-media phone not a smartphone as much as you want it to be.
And lack of 3g is huge considering even regular handsets have that.
see my other post on all of this:

The RAZR does more "smartphone" things than the iPhone.
Give it time? So you can proclaim it will do all of the above without giving time but I have to wait to say it does not compete with a Treo? Sounds fair. :shake:
The OP asked if it does PUSH email.
Yes, with Yahoo.
Where do I get this stuff from? I dunno, maybe Steve Jobs during his presentation?
Maybe it does work with IMAP Idle, maybe it doesn't. I'm going by what Steve said and promoted.
Why assert that "maybe it can do others" when there is no evidence? I'm going by what we actually know right now, not speculation. :shake: Last I checked WM5 and POS do IMAP too but no Idle (natively).
Maybe it will allow me to fly, Steve didn't say it couldn't, right? How can I assert otherwise?
I tell you what though: seeing as Yahoo made a special deal with Apple to promote and use their Push email system, I can almost guarantee you are locked into using it.
Lets meet back in 4-5 months.
Most of America? Maybe with poor Cingular. (Sprint rolled out it's first 3g device in Sep 2005...)Most of America can not get 3G anyhow.
From David Pogues FAQ List: "Does it get onto the HSDPA (3G) high-speed Internet network that Cingular has rolled out in a few cities? –No. But Steve Jobs said a later version of the iPhone will — once there’s enough HSDPA coverage in this country to justify it."
Maybe, maybe not. This is speculation. I'm not sure editing on such a device will be a fun adventure (highlighting, selecting, cells, etc.)Documents will come. It reads PDFs right now. The lack of iWork at MWSF has some suggesting tight intergration between the iPhone and iWork.
Within 6 months of release this phone will have documents both viewing and editing. As well as much of the other things people are talking about.
The person asked about PUSH email.Did you watch the keynote. He mentioned multiple email services, said just about any email service is compatible with iPhone. So I dount you would be locked into using Yahoo.
This isnt speculation. This is a fact. Will I be using the Yahoo when I get it? Heck yeah. It is push. I don't want to have to poll it myself.
You wont have to use it though. And this is based on what Jobs said during the keynote.
Will the iPhone support push email? I didn't see tht feature.
All evidence suggests if you want PUSH EMAIL, you will be locked into using Yahoo. Why else would Yahoo ink a deal with them?

Where do I complain of other people's bias? Back it up.You are making stuff up. He said they were doing a deal not locking you to Yahoo. It supports ordinary IMAP and POP3, it's unknown if it support IMAP IDLE outside Yahoo.
You complain about other people's bias then go around spreading FUD. Backup up your claim with facts or stop lying. No where does it say that Yahoo is exclusive. Are they exclusive with Google?
And you're basing this idea of no 3rd party software on what, exactly? I don't recall any official word from Apple on this.
