it's just very very pokey, frankly. Way to be frank buddy. I don't think this nonchalant apology is required here.

Damm I knew that the iPhone is not a worthy phone......you cant zoom in on a pic, theres no video, the internet is slow, and can access your text messages.

[surfercouture]

hey does the iphone have AIM or text messaging?

lol instead of payin for an iphone i saved up enuff to get a laptop and a printer/scanner and a webcam...iphone is a waste of money...

First off for apple first coming out with this....I give them credit....All the phones when they first came out people were complaing about them...the razr, the sidekick, and so on....Now in saying that I think the iphone did a pretty good job with this phone and basically people are always looking for something to critize about....Give apple a break.....DAMN!!!

ew! no video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL yes all those directions are SO confusing.

Its worse when they give you accurate directions, how dare they.

And the REASON the iphone is able to last 8 hours is that it sacraficed battery charge time and battery cycles to do so.

It takes me about 2 hours to charge the mogul completely and the iphone all afternoon !

oh and I can swap the battery, have GPS, and a faster network. Battery doesnt seem to be phased that much by it as you claim.

yeah he cant use it...he sucks so much he manages to unsmooth os x.......and plus gps would require a lot of battery and so does 3g, and ppl would be then complaining about the battery...and google maps, with the all the directions and stuff makes gps useless

and plus wifi is found in many places for internet

just look how beautiful and great it is, its far more advanced than any other phone, stop complaining, u want the milk the cow the farmer and the farmer's wife's ass

Look at Sprint's Mogul.

Aside from pinching and itunes... it does everything iphone does and more.

Along with the new navigation service, it also becomes your new GPS turn by turn device. Plus work push email, plus have oodles of addins/apps- flash divx etc..

PS- Apple will also charge you to BUY a ringtone. You cant just use any wavefile. Wait for it ;)

A new one in a few months?

Bad review.

It's titled Devil's advocate, but what ever happened to simple critical thought? People are acting like because it's Apple iSomething, the only way there could be problems is if you're simply trying to bash it, or berate the product. This guy is doing what we should all do, evaluate the product for quality and features. It's not his fault the iPhone lacks.
