Who cares if it's "native"?
My iPhone's a computer. If I want, I can install a voicedialing application that works well on that computer. What does "native" have to do with it?]]>Nov 10th 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/
I own one that I used to use and, let me tell you, that stupid phone kept having voice quality problems. What good is a phone if you can barely hear the person you're speaking to because you also hear a lot of cellular interference as well?

On top of that, the problem occurred after the warranty expired, so I was stuck with that until I was given an iPhone as a gift.

I preferred a Blackberry but, in this case, the iPhone is a nice phone, not to mention a very nice gift. A nice phone is a nice phone, so I wasn't about to look the gift horse in the mouth and, finally, I have a phone where I could hear the person I'm talking to with clarity.

And, I'll admit, I have gotten to like my iPhone as it has been very handy and pretty cool. It would've been nice if it was more obscure because that would enhance the cool factor instead of it being cool AND commonplace.

Now, I did have difficulties with the phone dropping calls and crap, but since I upgraded the firmware to version 2.1, the problems were the things of the past, unlike the buzzing RAZR.

But, ultimately, I have a phone that works as a phone. I can hear people clearly and they can hear me. The rest of the phone is icing, except for the fact that you can't replace the battery yourself very easily.]]>Nov 10th 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/Nov 10th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/
It's good to see your sense of proportion remains spot on.

Or maybe we should just come back next quarter when RIM is holding down the iPhone wang slapping it in the face shouting "Who's your Daddy now, bitch?".]]>Nov 10th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/

That means to be the most popular handset you only have to sell less than 2 million, and we know the iPhone sold the majority of its 6.9 million in US.

/sarcasm.


Seriously, I think many other commentators right here at engadget had seen this one coming when they predicted that the iphone will be the new RAZR.


I wonder if Apple will go the Moto way....

That's funny, while the iPhone is more full-featured I actually found the RAZR more complex to use for it's time being.

Still, it should cost even less to be affordable to even more people.

It's true the iPhone has all of that but you are assuming that everyone who bought the iPhone uses all those functions. I can just easily say that people who bought the iPhone don't even know of half the features of the iPhone. I can even go on further saying most who bought the iPhone are in their teens who could give a rat's ass about Exchange integration and e-mail. All those teens care about is if they could get on Facebook and go on YouTube (heck they probably don't even know that it's 3G capable just as long as they have access to the web, they wouldn't know the difference between EDGE and 3G!)

I know there are some buyers out there who actually bought the iPhone for e-mail and for all the other features the iPhone provides, but I guarantee you if you go ask an iPhone user off the street, 8/10 or even 9/10, first thing they will comment on is how it looks and the touchscreen...and oh yeah, I can check my Facebook and go on YouTube; they won't even talk about the aGPS capabilities or how they can setup their e-mail.

This is not a hate post towards the iPhone, it's great they outsold RIM in Q3, congratulations to Apple, but just like the iPod, consumers are willing to buy it simply because of the glamour and it definitely doesn't hurt that it also makes phone calls too. ]]>Nov 10th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/Nov 10th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/
Who is assuming here? Take one look at the comments in the App store and you'll see exactly what teens are doing...much, much more than using Facebook (which has more adults than myspace but I guess you're not aware of that).

Also, what makes you think that teens are the larger market for the iPhone? In fact, I've never seen a teen in line at an Apple store for the phone, and I didn't see them there on the morning of launch...the only thing I can say for certain is that you assume far more than I. It doesn't matter if every user uses every function, what matters is that the user has the functions he needs...and the iPhone seems to provide a lot to a lot of different types of user.]]>Nov 10th 2008 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/iphone-3g-overtakes-the-razr-as-best-selling-domestic-handset/
