I'm leaving on vacation for 2 weeks. I hope this shit isn't on engadget any more when I get back.
i hope your not on engadget anymore when i come back...
it's the Paris Hilton of electronic news, I don't expect it to go away for another month...
Great! Want a cookie?
jesusphone crashes so easily?! wah?
Lol wow you could not of said it better, the jesus phone! Thanks for the good laugh!
i just want to be iCool, meh
psst... you can see dante's phone number in the video...
Dante Alighieri?
Except for the caps I totally agree with this. It's still just a phone. And it crashes too. Also the keyboard is horrible, not just horrible. It's in fact the worst keyboard i've ever used. EVER. And i've used a twiddler.
Just curious, would you say overall if its worth the money, because I was also looking at the Nokia N73 which is unlocked for less and I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on this.
I tried it out and thought it was pretty cool.
You may want to just wait if you don't absolutely need a new phone right now. The iPhone is going to drive up competition, and drive down the prices of other phones that do a lot more.
If you are okay with basic phone tools and iPod tools, then it's perfect. If you need more (e.g. document editing tools, email management, customizeability), then just wait.
I wouldn't spend 350-400 on an n73. That phone is excellent, but it came out last April and will soon be far surpassed by phones coming out in the next few months. The n95 is more worth its money, and while it's running 650, it still a very powerful phone with decent longevity.
Hang in there and do your research.
I wouldn't bother with any Nokia phone. I've always bought Nokia and am currently using an N93. I've had it changed 3 times because the firmware is total crap. I've had the same problem with the last 2 Nokia models (Communicators) that I've had.
Now the iPhone is here I can finally dump Nokia. The S60 OS is very underpowered for what the phone is supposed to be capable of and I don't expect the N95 is any different.
Sure on paper it does more than the iPhone but the user experience is just horrible.
Its funny how everyone who doesnt have one hates on it. Its a first gen phone just like the first gen iPod. But this time it has competition whereas the iPod did not. So everyone has something to compare the iPhone to. Apple isnt marketing this as the phone of the future. They are marketing the simplicity of the way phones should be. From its fluid interface to its simple menus and options, cell phone manufacturers have something to look at when designing their next phone.
The only problem I am seeing with the iPhone is that Apple spent so much on advertising by flooding the media with commercials every other break and their videos online. But after seeing every video and every commercial about 20 times each (literally), it kind of makes me wonder what I would have to look forward to if I were to get one. I mean, I already know what the phone can do and how to use it. Ive seen every menu and feature, so if I were to get one, nothing would surprise me. ATT sucks in my area which is why I will not be getting on anytime soon.
How come I have seen no comments or videos on finger prints on the screen? Ive seen a couple photos with it covered in fingerprints and no one has said anything.
PS. I didnt know you guys were cool with Rich Brome over at PhoneScoop!
The reason why you don't hear about fingerprints and smudges on the display is that it's a non-issue. When the iPhone is off, you can see all sorts of finger gunk on it, but once you turn the display on, you don't see the gunk anymore because the display is so good.
looks cool
is that mr. littlejeans?
lol! oh man I wana see this video if Mr. Littlejeans features!
@ jillie, nope i meant dante cesa
anyone figured what cpu it uses and how many mhz?
you really are a moron...as with any big launch sites are going to do hands-on reviews, it's what they're here for. and edge doesn't take 2min to load up a page like yahoo, heck it doesn't take near that long to load up a huge page like espn...i would know, i use it every single day. and it's even faster now that the speeds were increased a couple days back
@ WIll
Lol i'm just asking the cpu type and mhz speed of the cpu, i havn't found this relevant data on those rich covering blogs, at least searhing "iphone cpu" on engadget gives no clues
that was for psycho dude...not you, my bad for not making that clear
Are you serious? This is the biggest most hyped consumer electronic release ever. Every website, blog, news cast, podcast, etc is covering this phone. Do you really expect one of the top gadget blogs not to have extensive coverage of it? I dont have an iPhone but I understand why they are covering it so much. Its more talked about than the airport attacks today. And if you dont want to read anything on it, go to another blog. No one told you to come to this site and then click on the story, leave a comment, go to your email and confirm your comment. You probably even watched the video didnt you? I did.
But how can we go to another blog if they're all covering it as you say?
What I want to know is why there is so much news on non-events relating to the iPhone. Sure, you can cover actual news but there seems to be a lot of pointless crap floating around. In the absence of decent iPhone news why not just post... y'know... other news.
yep, nobody cares...that's why there were long lines friday and almost completely sold out today
Yeah, I pretty sure Im not the only one who is annoyed at the mass coverage of this phone,and thats exactly what it is....a phone, and I hope that you bought one and signed up for that 2 year service plan, and have fun taking over 2 minutes to load something as simple as a yahoo page.
how does the web site youtube mobile work? Not the app on the iphone.
There is no flash player on the iPhone.... so probably not all that well.
Kyrra: this shows you don't know what your talking about at all...the mobile site of youtube has videos in 3gp for streaming to phones 176x144...but it's a really really tiny fraction of those, mainly the featured ones
OK... we get how it works... NOW.. try ALL of that with ONE FREAKIN' HAND (no holder).. can you do that?
yes I can do all that with one hand you would have to be a retard not to be able to use any feature with one hand. Try using the phone before criticizing.
I am completely honest when I tell you, I literally had an orgasm watching this video. I can not wait to get one of these. C'mon apple store
I really am being honest here, I had the most delicious orgasm watching that video. I can not wait to get this phone. Please hurry apple online store.
Angie -- we should go out sometime. Call me.
Nice comprehensive walkthrough. Really nice UI and animations throughout the device. Makes me want one even more!
No, you don't care. Some people cared enough to camp out at the stores.
This is one of the most anticipated digital communication devices in years and so it is going to get an insane amount of coverage.
I'll agree it is overkill, but how about you just suck it up and just skip over the iPhone stuff for a few more days.
I can't believe the questions people are asking here. What everyone should be asking is "can i have Veronica Belmont's number?".
You know whats amazing about some of the 'WHO CARES ITS JUST A SHITTY PHONE AND IT SUCKS' comments? That these people go through the effort of CLICKING on the iPhone story, going to the comments section, then composing their useless message and sending it through. Pretty damn amazing for someone who doesnt give a shit about the iPhone. I certainly dont see myself going to these lengths for products that I dont care about- simply to post that I dont care about them.
You want to know why I posted my discontent about the iphone?, I like to post on engadget, and when you don't have anything to work with, because apparently you haven't noticed that every single story is about the iphone, and I can say with certainty that I am not the only one that is displeased with the media flood about the Iphone, apparently I stirred up the hive of apple fanboys when I criticized their new baby, and slurpy your hypocrisy is amusing :)
Hey look, some of you mayt not care, but for me, im fucking obsessed with this thing, im going to camp the stores in Australia when it comes out for at least 3 days, i MUST have one. This is one of the most amazing pieces of gadgetry since ......... well the vibrator.
This was a great video, thanks for it guys at engadget, my iPhone cravings are tamed for another hour.
I am looking forward for jesus popping up when I use it and for the internet.
Ironically, you can't watch this video on your iPhone. Not that you would want to as it's for us pathetic people who didn't get one.
Ummm, yes you can watch this video on your iphone....as there are download links for .mp4.....just download the vid, and sync it with itunes 7.3....you can also convert almost any video to an ipod friendly format and sync it to itunes to play on the iphone.
@ baddog70,
I was referring to the web-based version.
well if this video was on a video sharing site you would be able to watch it on your phone. if you check out zannel.com you can watch hundreds of videos on your phone and even send them to friends' phones too. the quality is great and they have some really funny content as well.
Apple has finally come out with a product that is worthy enough for me to buy. Although this iPhone will most likely be my last Apple purchase ever, it was definitely worth the dough, I'm loving it, I can't put it down.
@ Engadget,
Can't you just use Google Video or YouTube for your videos? Your flash player is horrible. Plus, you get to save on bandwidth and server load.
Nice - a 27 minute video of someones hand with the occasional glimpse of a screen.
Now there's a waste of bandwidth.
Is that a thumb or a big toe?
