WTF 2 year contract... Buy it off the apple WEBSITE and there is no contract. Thats what i did. 8gb is bigger than and other phone back in 2007, but not big now
Yep he surely got that right... i mean iphone has been a total fail right? i mean its not like its the most advanced phone in the bisness, the most elegant, the most interactive, artistic, work of art and technology i have ever seen right? Oh wait it is? BURN
The comments on this really old video are really funny... especially the ones hating the video.
The points made in this video are completely true about the original iPhone. Sure, he may be wrong now but this was in 2007. Apple improved the phone based on customer feedback.
That's what sucks about the past... you can't see what's going to change in the future. Although I don't believe most of the commenters understand that :/
Now look at the iPhone bitch. Thinnest smartphone, fast, beautiful, elegant and simple UI, amazing hardware and software, HD recording, phenomenal 5 megapixel camera, front facing camera, and 3G. Oh and $199 just for this asshole. Maybe he is now an android user, i no the date this was posted, but dont forget who started it all. I saw the "best things about the iPhone" but this guy doesnt work for CNET anymore does he? lol
@TheApplefan4life honestly, the worst thing about the iphone isn't actually the iphone itself. Its really just the limitations placed on it by Apple and AT&T/Verison. The iphone can only be used to its full potential after being jailbroken and thats just a pain in the ass. With all those drawbacks the iphone is really only a descent phone.
... btw, beautiful? elegant?... seriously, its a phone. not a super model.
@commetsmasher I understand what your saying, i really do. But when you have the phone, you dont think about those things, and its not a transformer lol, its a phone. And i think its sexy as hell. As u can see by my name, yea lol (:
@TheApplefan4life Sure Apple started it, but the other guys are often doing it so much BETTER now. And like all Apple devices, the iPhone is ridiculously locked down sans-jailbreak. Oh, and it's still ridiculously overpriced.
@AgentTunaghost1 Yes still overpriced. $199. 98% of the Android phones are at least $199 and even more. Its a perfectly priced phone, actually i think its underpriced. For what you get with it. The main thing i dont like about Android is that they have a new phone out every month, and sometimes every 2 weeks one is announced. Thats boring. And they are ALL the same, every single one of them. They all look the same, with a little bit of different touch ups on each one. iPhone: One very year. Easy
@TheApplefan4life Android phones are made by multiple companies, not just Google themselves. It's like the PC to iPhone's Mac, really. They're not designed for you to go and buy a new one every time they come out.
And my Xperia Play costed 99$ with a contract, which is far less than any iPhone I've seen. It was also the most expensive Android phone there.
I can understand why someone would want the iPhone. It's the same as a Mac vs a PC. Easier to use, but it can ultimately do less.
@AgentTunaghost1 Yea they arent designed for you to do that, but there is ALWAYS a better one next week. Its so annoying. And ur very wrong. The Xperia Play is not the most expensive android phone. Thats definitely the most incorrect statement you have said. The samsung infuse 4G is $199. HTC sensation 4G is $199. The mytouch 4G slide is $199. LG revolution is $199. The droid x2 is $199. The droid incredible 2 is $199. Heck the HTC thunderbolt is $250. Hell the droid charge is $299.
@TheApplefan4life What do you mean "remember who started it all"? Nokia came out with the first smartphone in 1996. And the iPhone isn't the thinnest or fastest smartphone on the market. (btw it sounds like you copied all of that from the iPhone ad)
@TheApplefan4life infosyncworld(.)com/news/n/8724.html apple is the 8th thinnest phone as of January. and you said "remember who started it all"... but apple really hasn't started anything...
@wilhamlin Haha thats funny, they didnt start anything? Wow. Without iOS, Android wouldnt have gotten ideas, and changes them in there own way. They changed everything. Every Apple product has changed everything. Oh and why does Steve Jobs now get his own "day" on October 14th. Because he and bill gates have influenced technology 100%. So when Bill Gates dies, he will get his own day. Yea. Apple has changed everything in technology and theres not one point you can argue against that statement.
@TheApplefan4life When you say influenced, do you mean held back? because that's really what he did... with trying his damndest to control the market that he really had no foothole in. Apple really didn't influence Android... the technology was already available, and android would have released the G1 regardless. And about Jobs day, some people fail to realize why he was fired from Apple in the 80's, because he was a dick to work with. but i know you are to young to remember him getting fired.
@TheApplefan4life and untill he gets his own federal holiday, i won't recognize this holiday... well because it's not really a holiday. It's just a random day that people will celebrate once, and then forget about next year.
@TheApplefan4life and don't forget that apple got the idea of their OS from Blackberry... (and if EVER Apple product changed everthing, then how do you explain the Newton, the Macintosh portable, and the ROKR phone they tried to release in 2005... but then again i guess you were too young to be around for any of those
@wilhamlin You know what funny? How you have NO idea what your talking about (: Took there idea from blackberry.. really? Were you in the meetings? And also, just to prove my point, Apple patented the iPhone capacitive touchscreen, considering it was the first capacitive touch screen smartphone, causing this to happen: Everytime Android or Blackberry releases a smartphone with a capacitive touch display, they pay Apple for it. And how Apple has won almost 95% of there law suits, proves it. (:
@TheApplefan4life so you're saying that you were in the android meetings when they said they were going to "take the idea from apple". And you may want to re-look up your facts, because, once again, Apple wasn't the first. the first was the LG Prada. And it was incredible that Apple got that patent, but it doesn't matter because Apple hasn't sued anyone for the screen, because they know that as soon as they do, their patent will be revoked and it'd be a waste of time.
@wilhamlin Part1:Im not sure what your reading but ok? Apple was the first to CHANGE EVERYTHING. I think ill say it again, because your not understanding, CHANGE EVERYTHNG. There. Oh and why didn't LG sue then? LG later claimed that Apple stole both the ideas and concept of the Prada phone. <-- which is not true because they had been working on the phone for more than a year, and it was released january 2007, but announced december 2006. Apple announced the first generation iPhone on January 9th
@TheApplefan4life you know why they didn't sue? because it's fucking retarded to sue for a screen. that's like saying "hey that monitor you made is using the same technology mine is, so im going to sue you". and thats the same reason that Apple doesn't sue anybody for using it. Technology doesn't belong to a single person or company, but to anyone who chooses to use it.
@wilhamlin Part 2: So there no possible way they worked on it in about a month. So there goes your point. Oh and because of this statement, LG never sued Apple. Ever for the LG Prada. And the LG prada sucks. Horrible UI, and horrible specs. The reason i love Apple and the iPhone, because they create there own ideas, and make it what it is today. The iPad, successful. The iPod, amazingly successful. The Mac line-up, successful. iPhone, successful. They reinvented technology to what it is today.
@TheApplefan4life And i never said the Prada was good, but it WAS the first. And Apple really hasn't had a good original idea since about 85. The real reason that you love Apple is because you're too young to see true quality. you think, "if it's expensive then it has to be good." which isn't always the case.
@wilhamlin Obviously you dont know what i think about Apple. Its expensive yes, but its expensive for a very good reason. iOS is stable, its elegant, its fast, its simple, and easy. Thats why i love iOS. MacOSX on the other hand, i like as well, but just because i love Apple, doesnt mean i like everything they do. Lion, in my opinion, was to "mobile" for me, it took the feel of iOS and put it into an already amazing software. I also think they are brilliant, in other things they do. Alot though.
@TheApplefan4life and the only hold that Apple has on the market today is the iPod, because nobody else want's to make a new MP3 player when everybody already has one on their phone. they don't have the majority of the tablet market, and they barley hold a bigger portion of the PC market than Linux. (and wanna know something funny? If it wasn't for Microsoft, then Apple wouldn't have made it past 1997. So you ought to be thanking Windows users
@wilhamlin Wow. Wrong again. Are you kidding me? The iPad. The iPad has 93% market share. Do your research. The iPod is the biggest thing Apple has released, and the iPad, iPhone, and Macs are doing amazing in there sales. You must be reading the wrong thing. Yea and im not thanking you for helping us keep Office, and the fact that we agreed if windows gave us that, we'd drop a law suit to windows for copying the "feel" of Mac, which they would've won. And its still a bigger portion. Counts.
@TheApplefan4life you really can't see past the fact that Microsoft is the only reason that Apple is still in business. There was no lawsuit. Gates knew that they needed to help each other out, so Microsoft bought 150 million dollars worth of Apple shares just so that they could stay in business. if there was going to be a lawsuit, then Mac wouldn't have let them buy the stock. listen i know you were probably born around that time, but don't speculate reasons for events, just look them up
@wilhamlin I actaully did. How bout u look them up. They made a deal, make sure you know what your saying before you say it. As long as Apple would drop the law suit, Microsoft would give them the money. And yes, they did help them out, and they are the only reason Apple is still around, im not denying that, but that wasnt my point from the beginning. Apple, now, and for a very long time, is going to be the best, and is the best, technology company there is.
@TheApplefan4life Wait, you're talking about the case from '88? the one where Apple just straight up lost because you can't copyright an idea? and in the end, the only money that was transferred from Microsoft to Apple was in exchange for a shitload of Apple stock. And you're trying to say that Apple is better than all of the companies that make up thier products like intell an nVidia (you know, the ones making the real progress in technology)?
@TheApplefan4life No you're not talking about the only lawsuit from around that time period that Apple had against Microsoft, or no you're not saying that Apple is a better company than the companies that make up their products?
@wilhamlin Lets just say this: Apple is the number technology company in sales, in ideas, and in basically everything that has to do with technology. Can we all agree on that? Yes. Ok good, now get off ur dumbass windows computer, and get a mac.
@TheApplefan4life i still don't agree but i see that you don't really have anything to support your... "idea". And i'll get a Mac when they're actually worth the money i'm putting into it, because as of now, they really aren't
@wilhamlin Oh and also, i didnt say thinnest phone, i said thinnest smartphone, read correctly. The iPhone 4 is the thinnest smartphone on the planet.
So funny how all the things he listed are things that Apple has really improved. Except for the removable battery. Which isn't a big deal. I've had my iPhone for 2 years and never have I once wished I could remove the battery,
I wonder how many people noticed the dating of this video before they started to post crap on here??? does anyone remember when the iphone came out? when the itunes market was crap? when the iphone didnt even offer 3g? well i do and all this things were true about the iphone until a year after.
lol the iphone has fixed all these problems now haha 5. no 3g ? my iphone has got 3g! 4. small capacity ? mine is a 16gb and now u can get 32 gb! 3. 2 year contract with no discount ? my iphone is a 1 year contract and i dont think u get many discounts on most phones! 2. battery issues ? i have a battery pack that goes on the back of my iphone! like a cover! even tho u cant take the battery out u can get wee battery pack that plug into ur iphone and charges it! 1. its cheaper& worth
@lintex I'll name 2. No 3G, and No video recording, features standard on virtually every phone now. Not to mention, it can't keep up with any current-gen Android OR iPhone, for that matter. It still might work well for you, but in today's terms, it can't keep up. :)
@ben100014 it's so easy to enable video recording on an iphone 2g.. mine does since i bought it but i'll give you some points on the 3g feature edge is practically useless on todays apps i dont even have a data plan on mine.. instead, but in other terms is even better than lots of androids "Of course newer iphone are better"
@lintex Yes, but video recording does not come standard on the iphone. It, as you said, has to be ENABLED by a third party application, and even that gives it crappy quality video. 3g is USELESS on today's apps? IS that why 4g is being rolled out across the US-because EDGE can handle the bandwidth requirements of many applications? No, newer apps need faster speed because they are preforming more and more bandwidth-laden tasks. Virtually all Android phones use a lot of internet resources.
My iPhone 4 has 3G and 16 GB of storage space which is 4 of these 4 GB iPhones and 2 of the 8 GBs, I was gonna get a 32 GB but I decided to go with the 16 GB for 3 reasons 1. The 32GBs weren't available 2. I don't use so much storage space, alot but not too much, and 3. Saved alot of money :)
iPhones back then are different then the ones that are made today. but still the iPod touch is HUNDREDS of dollars cheaper, and are essentially the same thing, minus the phone which capabilities of such can be achieved if you know what you are doing. As Chinese guy said, fuck the iPhone.
wow this is cool, this was uploaded on my birthday from like 3 years ago, and i didnt know apple iphones back then was only 4 GB and 8GB wow that sucks now they have 32 GB for the iphone 4 and for the ipod touch 4G they have 8GB,32GB and,and 64GB
Its funny how they are so against what turned out to be the beginning of a huge revolution. The iphone is still the number 1 smartphone according to all the main tech review companies.
I was pretty mad when they lowered the price 2 months after the original iPhone was out, and I had got one day of release, but even after they gave me the credit, I was still mad since they only gave me credit at the Apple Store. It sucked but the phone was still awesome.

Yea and im not thanking you for helping us keep Office, and the fact that we agreed if windows gave us that, we'd drop a law suit to windows for copying the "feel" of Mac, which they would've won. And its still a bigger portion. Counts.

@TheApplefan4life you really can't see past the fact that Microsoft is the only reason that Apple is still in business. There was no lawsuit. Gates knew that they needed to help each other out, so Microsoft bought 150 million dollars worth of Apple shares just so that they could stay in business. if there was going to be a lawsuit, then Mac wouldn't have let them buy the stock. listen i know you were probably born around that time, but don't speculate reasons for events, just look them up
wilhamlin 4 months ago
@wilhamlin I actaully did. How bout u look them up. They made a deal, make sure you know what your saying before you say it. As long as Apple would drop the law suit, Microsoft would give them the money. And yes, they did help them out, and they are the only reason Apple is still around, im not denying that, but that wasnt my point from the beginning. Apple, now, and for a very long time, is going to be the best, and is the best, technology company there is.
TheApplefan4life 4 months ago
@TheApplefan4life Wait, you're talking about the case from '88? the one where Apple just straight up lost because you can't copyright an idea? and in the end, the only money that was transferred from Microsoft to Apple was in exchange for a shitload of Apple stock. And you're trying to say that Apple is better than all of the companies that make up thier products like intell an nVidia (you know, the ones making the real progress in technology)?

@wilhamlin No...Im not. Actually.
TheApplefan4life 4 months ago
@TheApplefan4life No you're not talking about the only lawsuit from around that time period that Apple had against Microsoft, or no you're not saying that Apple is a better company than the companies that make up their products?
wilhamlin 4 months ago
@wilhamlin Lets just say this: Apple is the number technology company in sales, in ideas, and in basically everything that has to do with technology. Can we all agree on that? Yes. Ok good, now get off ur dumbass windows computer, and get a mac.
TheApplefan4life 4 months ago
@TheApplefan4life i still don't agree but i see that you don't really have anything to support your... "idea". And i'll get a Mac when they're actually worth the money i'm putting into it, because as of now, they really aren't

lintex 9 months ago
@lintex I'll name 2. No 3G, and No video recording, features standard on virtually every phone now. Not to mention, it can't keep up with any current-gen Android OR iPhone, for that matter. It still might work well for you, but in today's terms, it can't keep up. :)
ben100014 9 months ago
@ben100014 it's so easy to enable video recording on an iphone 2g.. mine does since i bought it but i'll give you some points on the 3g feature edge is practically useless on todays apps i dont even have a data plan on mine.. instead, but in other terms is even better than lots of androids "Of course newer iphone are better"
lintex 9 months ago
@lintex Yes, but video recording does not come standard on the iphone. It, as you said, has to be ENABLED by a third party application, and even that gives it crappy quality video. 3g is USELESS on today's apps? IS that why 4g is being rolled out across the US-because EDGE can handle the bandwidth requirements of many applications? No, newer apps need faster speed because they are preforming more and more bandwidth-laden tasks. Virtually all Android phones use a lot of internet resources.
ben100014 9 months ago
My iPhone 4 has 3G and 16 GB of storage space which is 4 of these 4 GB iPhones and 2 of the 8 GBs, I was gonna get a 32 GB but I decided to go with the 16 GB for 3 reasons 1. The 32GBs weren't available 2. I don't use so much storage space, alot but not too much, and 3. Saved alot of money :)

iPhones back then are different then the ones that are made today. but still the iPod touch is HUNDREDS of dollars cheaper, and are essentially the same thing, minus the phone which capabilities of such can be achieved if you know what you are doing. As Chinese guy said, fuck the iPhone.
