Apple is giving free "workshops" for the really dumb to learn everything. It's a device for the masses without needing to think too much (and honestly, I mean that in a sincere sense, not mocking). .

I think people underestimate the general public (especially the ones willing to poay $600 for a phone).
These guys are going to want to MMS, . It will be sad really.
Surur
c'mon, you know what I meant.
but they'll be able to send photo images via email as an attachment. i don't understand the horror of not having MMS.
I mean, all kidding aside, the iPhone will be a sleek device and it'll do a lot of neat things and it'll do them well. As much as a WM device? No, but it'll do what it says it'll do (except for EDGE, god help them).
With no 3rd party apps, you'll have stability. Apple is giving free "workshops" for the really dumb to learn everything. It's a device for the masses without needing to think too much (and honestly, I mean that in a sincere sense, not mocking). It's limited now, but no one can deny that with siginificant upgrades (at least an RSS reader) and 3g it could be the new standard.
How about all those Apple employees who just a free 8gb one? Yikes.
Archie's sidekick nex time tell you iFriend that when he makes sweeping statements about a device of which half are false (First, Largest, Period, bestest etc) and itemises so-called "unique" features then each item is subject to comparison to any other item out there!'
Btw you sure have a way of trying to put words into ppl's mouths! Even I can re-read that post and see he simply pointed out that not having speakers on the back of a hpone isn't unique as archie claimed :crazy:
And resorting to personal insults. How old are you anyway? First the "suicide" post and now implying ppl are on drugs. I wonder if there's any moderation here at all!
The personal insults? Are you just playing devils advocate or are you really that obtuse?
I have seen people make this type of statement many times as to Archie, don't drink the bong water and such, and have yet to see you or anyone else stand up and say stop these personal attacks on Archie.
I really find your additions here far less insightful then most and that is saying a lot.
What I get from your post is you are personally offended by the way the press and Apple have "Hyped" the iPHONE.
We can go back through every board here and find comments from people on Palm and WM devices saying, "They lied to us about this or that."
Call it what you will, pretty, cosmetic, fluff, whatever but it is a HUGE step forward in how people will interact with a phone.
If you have a problem with the way it is marketed who cares. Start a thread about the marketing practices of APPLE and the complicit press.
The iPHONE is not perfect I don't think there is a perfect phone for everyone but it does have several "Revolutionary" interface options that will change the way phones are built in the future.
And to say PALM and WM have been "Heading down that road for a longtime" is a sad and fallacious statement. Apple delivered it first give them credit.

Do you need some sleep? when did I post anything about Palm and WM? I don't even use WM!
And here we go with personal insults when you don't have it your way! Yep some ppl do personally insult archie with comments but none involved derogatory taunts about suicide or drug use..they were more like "can you read" and " get real facts next time"...and I personally wasn't one of them (except a reference to dunning kruger syndrome ). The things I have seen you posted aimed at persons here have been a first for me on THIS forum .
Next this specific thread is about NOT getting the iPhone, so if you want to talk about "getting the iPhone" then it's YOU who need a new thread But of course i wouldn't tell you to do that as forums have free speech to a certain extent. As you may or may not notice when I want to start a thread I just click the "next thread' button.
Finally your "insight" into my posts is irrelevant to me, as you are obviously very insecure (on the web at that). Ppl like you who actually have to resort to making derogatory remarks about others during a discussion amuse me. Why would I care about what you say unless you say it logically? If my comments don't contribute to YOUR experience there is an ignore button if you don't know!
And wash taht potty mouth
The comments you took offense to and a few others did as well were sarcasm.
Maybe in poor taste but did you miss the Whitney Houston reference in the "Crack" comment?
I am sorry if they offended you but please look back at some of your own recent posts and see if the tone in them isn't just a little abrasive to those you are responding to and demeaning.
I will take your comments to heart and refrain from future use of my poor use of sarcasm.

Nope. At least Pogue, if I remember, pointed out that is no RSS capability.I though they had RSS (inside the safari browser)?
Other then Jason Bourne who really swaps SIM chips between devices? Remember the people on this board are in the minority so I was wondering what percentage of people who buy GSM phones really buy them with the selling point that they can just switch chips?
As an aside, since the chip switch is a no go with the iPHONE I was told you will be able to migrate your contacts and such to the iPHONE through a program some how?
Of course it is an extra $15 bucks!!!
Always the dollars!
Sarcasm aside, I know it is tough for you but try big guy, do you really think the majority of people who buy GSM phones buy them not because the phone has great features but because they can always swap out chips?
Just remember that there is a 10% restocking fee if you open the box. Also, the return period is 14 days. No being able to try this out for 30 days like any other ATT phone and return it with no fee if you don't like it.
