The only real advantage there was VGA screen, Magnesium casing, and dual memory (SD & Compact Flash). The iphone is far better even despite the lack of memory expansion. Worth it from that comparative perspective. Add to it that it can effective replace my 4gb Samsung K5 and my Samsung Sync phone then I still see a winner. Especially since it will be slightly under the cost of my Ipaq HX4700 from 2004.

1. price, price, price. (most people that will buy and iphone are apple fans, and already have a ipod, so paying for another ipod is silly. i dont even use the 3 i all ready have.

2. no 3g. this is a shock to me and i still cannot figure out why this was the way apple went?

3. 5 hour battery. my razr can go 3 days without recarging, am i expected to charge this thing every night? what about if im going to a business meeting several hours away? is the phone going to die before i can charge it?

4. no 3rd party support. like most people i get my email from an exchange server, so no support for this is definate no purchase!

5. 2 year contract and again the price is still 499/599. if your signing a 2 year, the price should drop dramatically.

granted, i still want one but unless i get one through work, which wont happened b/c of the email/change server think, i wont be getting one.]]>Jun 4th 2007 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/ 1. price, price, price.

Apple could do a cheaper phone but it wouldn't be as nifty. Sell your iPod on ebay :)

The reason you can't figure it out, of course, is because you're not a manufacturing engineer working on the design team. I'm also unhappy about the lack of 3G, but I'm certain that there is a reason for it. Too many people want it for them to drop it just to save a few pennies. 3g generally uses more power; it's possible that the EDGE chipset Apple used was exceptionally good, and they couldn't find a 3G one that matched.

5 hours of _talk_ time, not 5 hours of standby.

Interesting comment on an article that says there will be third party support.

Can't you set up your exchange server to support POP or IMAP? I'm pretty certain the iPhone can do standards-based email.

"is still"? You need to read more carefully. Those are the 2 year contract prices; we have no idea how much it will be _without_ contract.]]>Jun 4th 2007 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/ What about no being able to access the SIM card?
Do you know gor a fact that the SIM card cannot be accessed?]]>Jun 4th 2007 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/Jun 4th 2007 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/Jun 4th 2007 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/
If it were open, an AIM client would soon follow.

So, it's either this, or the Nokia E90, which is a couple hundred dollars more expensive, but has:

- A completely open system, S60 UI, plethora of apps
- 800x352 screen
- Camera on inside for videochat
- physical keyboard
- 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, everything else
- Expandable memory

Wouldn't integrate with my Mac as well though. Hmmm... tough call.]]>Jun 6th 2007 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/Jun 6th 2007 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/04/iphone-to-get-software-development-kit-at-wwdc/
1. Yes, the iPhone is expensive for a phone on a 2-year contract, however you have to take into consideration that you're probably paying for the 4-8GB hard drive, as well as the Apple software and branding. And besides, since when has Apple ever made something priced really low? Heck, their computers still cost more than the majority of PCs out there . . . And why would anyone have 3 iPods anyway? I'm not trying to be rude here, I'm just curious . . .

2. 3G DOES use up a lot of power. I've had 2 3G phones already and the battery life seems to go down faster when I'm using 3G than 2.5G. I've just recently noticed that a lot of the more "cooler" phones lately have left this out. There was probably a good reason for this. Either live with it or find another phone to worship.

3. Having a phone with great battery life is definitely a plus, however, how hard can it be to just recharge your phone every night before you go to bed, or to just carry your charger with you? How about a car charger? The battery life on my phone sucks if I constantly use the multimedia features, however my charger is really small and my phone is also rechargable through the USB on my computer at work, which is more than convenient for me. Plus it recharges super-fast (maybe that's why the batter doesn't last more than a day and a half or so? LOL).

3. People complaining about 3rd party support is understandable. It's as simple as waiting for 2nd gen, or just find another phone to your liking = )

In short, I guess there's just no pleasing anyone when it comes to technology . . .

Just my two pennies.]]>Jun 6th 2007 7:24PM
