Hahah thats great...i like how they used the actual screen in the commercials, not a simulated one. It looks like it works really, really smoothly. Very nice.]]>Jun 4th 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/

Also I can type "seafood" way way faster with my i730 and it's real keyboard. This is going to be key, how is it for typing out text messages and emails.

Then again I'm not getting one because no Exchange Wireless ActiveSync / Blackberry Enterprise no care.]]>Jun 3rd 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
Guess what guys, if you hate Apple you're a fanboy too. I buy what I perceive to be the best piece of hardware for the task. That's why I have a Macbook Pro, an Xbox 360, and a Tivo. Not liking a cool gadget because of who makes it is hilarious. If Hitler came out with a good cell phone, I'd buy it.

Oh, and the iPhone ads are perfect. The thing is going to sell like hotcakes. I can't wait for the first pencilneck to exclaim, "my TreoBerry 3500 already does that" when I pull mine out.]]>Jun 3rd 2007 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
What does this device do that others in the price range can't? That contract would have to up the price some more too, no doubt...]]>Jun 3rd 2007 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/The friendly lady on the other line told me that they have been receiving a ton of calls tonight from all over the US. I'm from Toronto so this has gone global. She says only her manager knew in advance and told me to come down if I'm in the area. Not getting creeped out by a Mac nerd?!?! I'M THERE.]]>Jun 3rd 2007 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
Unlike him, I talked to a male host.

"Pacific Catch"

"Hey are you guys busy? With your restaurant being featured on the iPhone commercial and all?"

"Huh? What's that? The restaurants half full. You should come and get some food... it's delicious!"

I responded, in shock that he either didn't understand what I said or actually didn't know what an iPhone was...

"Yeah, well your seafood restaurant is featured in Apple's new iPhone ad. Go check it out online- it's the 'Calamari' one."

"Really? That's weird! I'll check it out. Are you sure you don't want any food? If you're in SF you should stop by! Seriously, the food is delicious!"

"Uh, no, I'm alright. Thanks though. Just thought you should know that your restaurant will start getting pretty busy. Bye"

When I'm a grandpa... I'll have some great stories to go along with my iPhone and iPhone version 78b]]>Jun 3rd 2007 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/

You can store your home address, however i pretty much know most of the restaurants around my home. The good thing about finding a restaurant is when you don't know the area, and in that case, you may not know the zip code or address. I use VZNavigator on my LG vx9800 (The V) and i can pick the type of restaurant i want very quickly.]]>Jun 4th 2007 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/

Hmmm, I didn't want to call that restaurant, but I was going through the iPhone archive on engadget and I saw iTunes screenshot from MacWorld stating Steve's iPhone, Telephone number NUMBERS-NUMBERS-NUMBERS I called it and answering machine actually said you have reached Apple and etc =)))))]]>Jun 3rd 2007 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
If this is the case, and I cannot go in with my 600 bucks and buy what I've been looking forward to all year because I'm allready with cingular/AT&T, I've got this to say

"Screw you. I will never buy Apple again."
oh, and fuck at&t by the way
..man, i hope i'm wrong

Say you are halfway through your two year contract, instead of getting the phone and still only having a year left, you'd have a new phone and a new two year contract.]]>Jun 3rd 2007 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
and if you already have a cingular phone and service but are out of contract, you WILL be able to get an iPhone as well. you just would start a 2-year contract the day you got the phone.

it's not rocket surgery here folks.]]>Jun 4th 2007 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 3rd 2007 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
I'm not sure keying in a zip code qualifies as "laborious" in my book. Which is, of course, all you have to do to find the closest seafood restaurant.]]>Jun 3rd 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
"So have you guys been busy all day with people calling about the iPhone ad?"

"Yeah, it gets a little irritating when 40% of our business is take out and 80% of the calls today had nothing to do with business!"

He ranted, and ranted, and ranted.

I told him I was sorry on the behalf of the Apple fans, and people calling just to annoy them.

Wanna hear my "insider tip" of the hour? According to an Apple employee- they personally recommended to wait 60-90 days before you get an iPhone. The reason? They had to ramp up production for the launch, so there could be glitches, for example, with battery life. My source said if we don't want to wait, we should definitely get the extended warranty.

(Like you, I don't want to wait. But I don't want to pay top $ for the warranty either)

Let's play this by ear! Any campers?]]>Jun 3rd 2007 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/

...and lol at "should definitely get the extended warranty," that really instills confidence in a product, especially a $600 phone. ]]>Jun 4th 2007 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
I.e. if you currently have one year left on your current contract, getting an iPhone would give you 1 (what's left) + 2 years (new contract), so be bound for a total of 3 years.

It would be crazy to do otherwise as most people already have a phone these days, so not allowing it would be shooting in their foot.]]>Jun 6th 2007 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.realfek.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=116960#116960

Please don't harrass them over the phone, but if you're ever in the Marina District of San Francisco I recommend the fish & chips there.]]>Jun 4th 2007 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
Well done, man...well done. THIS is the kind of writing that had me coming to this site daily back in the day. Pure comedy.

She does support the Palestinian cause and is opposed to a Zionist regime. ]]>Jun 4th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
Vanessa Redgrave HAS had the temerity to criticise Israel's policies in the West Bank & Gaza. This is behaviour which begets the soubriquet "anti-semite" from the hard-right Zionists, of whom I can only assume your correspondent is one....]]>Jun 4th 2007 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
Would that be the Vanessa Redgrave who was awarded the Sakharov medal for her efforts to secure freedom for Soviet Jews? Doesn't sound like the actions of an anti-semite to me.

I suggest you get your facts right in future. How would you like to be erroneously labelled as an anti-semite?

Please correct your article.]]>Jun 4th 2007 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
I'd be willing to bet Vanessa Redgrave has done far more than you, and I in fact, to eliminate racism, including anti-semitism.]]>Jun 4th 2007 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 4th 2007 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 4th 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/
There is also a much larger version of the restaurant in Corte Madera with the slightly expanded menu (the SF one is better for take-out becuase the seating is fairly limited). I was just at the Corte Madera location for my sister's graduation dinner - the food rocks.]]>Jun 4th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/03/followup-the-first-real-iphone-ad-lands/Jun 6th 2007 9:20PM
