Also, I was really hoping for a better camera. Nokia has been using 5mp cameras in their phones for about two years now...]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/2 years without MMS, 2 years without cut and paste, 2 years not transferring anything via bluetooth, 2 years with limited application availability, 2 years without Java, 2 years with a crippled handset lacking so many things the rest of us take for granted. And you reckon that battery's gonna last 2 years? Reckon you'll be hammered into the same coffin as the iPhone 1.0 this time next year?

Apple phone whatever, I'd rather have a banana phone.]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
I don't understand why "No-I don't want to switch carriers" wasn't a choice. I don't care how good the new iPhone is, AT&T's network is just inferior to Verizon's, at least where I live. ]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
AT&T doesn't have service in Vermont. SUre you can roam here but that's not the same.]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
I don't want to sound so negative, but I really feel that the iPhone at this stage is -again, using Apple's marketing techniques instead of really upgrading the iPhone; Same camera, same typing methods with no copy or paste, no MMS, no front camera, no Video, No flash support inside Safari, no my own ring tunes, and the whole same negatives, with the same value which they hid nicely (this time) inside telecom contracts, apps store, and music purchases.

I said it before, I will chose between the iPhone, Diamond and X1; other than the high price tags of the last two, I can not see any killing feature the iPhone has over them. I also might consider the Samsung Omnia, it is even much more promising than any of the three mobiles I talked about.

You know what? it is all a matter of taste and opinion, iPhone is great, Diamond is also great and Samsung's Omina seems to be great along with X1.

I will wait for another 2 weeks, or until iPhone 3G is out to see what it really can do better than the other mobiles, I want, especially that the Omnia has 3.5 G which is available at my country and from my operator.

So for me, it is a: No for iPhone 3G.]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
you do realize that most carriers out there do have this neat thing called an upgrade policy, right? (eligibility typically starts @ about 1 year of service)]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
If one were to READ this exchange program, one would see that for AT&T, the iPhone doesn't apply for an exchange. Caveat emptor.

Wrong, Saad.

Anyways, I'd get the white one, if they had gone with a white bezel. Oh, how sweet that could've been! Why must we all get a black front, Mr. Ive? Why? Why? Why?

i guess thats not really true anymore because the att people have to activate it for you.... you cant just buy as a "gift" and then unlock with ziphone. your locked into that $60/month. still, im kinda pissed that there wasnt a price drop or at least a newer version for the touch....]]>Jun 10th 2008 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/

As usual, you are a tool of everything Apple. Whether it be good, bad, or 3rd party accessory, your lips will stay permanently attached to the ass of Steve Jobs, even while he is continuously shitting in your face. Nice life. Enjoy your 2MP camera and no MMS capability in 2010 (since you will still be on contract then).

Sincerely,

Everyone getting an X1, HTC Dream, Touch Pro, Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Thunder, the list goes on...]]>Jun 11th 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 11th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jul 13th 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/
But, I'm going to stick with my old iPhone. The 3G data costs $10/mo more and I don't see the need for myself. In my experience with my 3G USB modem, 3G is often not that much faster than EDGE. By the time they come out with the third gen iPhone, I will probably be ready to upgrade. Or perhaps sooner, but not today.

Nice new iPhone but no thanks... for today. I already have one and it's working just fine.]]>Jun 9th 2008 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/so-are-you-gonna-get-an-iphone-3g/Jun 9th 2008 8:15PM
