I don't think an iphone sucks. They are nice gadgets, not as unstable as you say/experience they are. The only downside is that you need dedicated software to control them.. (itunes, which includes a virus named quicktime) They will get unstable if you use 'odd' software, but so is allmost any other OS based device.

It's obvious you are no apple fan, but an iphone doesn't suck, and a blackberry doesn't rule.

They are great devices. a downer is that the back is relative fragile and will scratch pretty soon. (but so will any other phone)

No actually i love apple just not the iphone. I even like the ipod and what not. i i never said BB rule i just said they are good phones to get. i have used iphone and BB and just like the BB better. I have also used windows phones and i have to say they are worse than all of them. I just think the iphone cost way too much for the funtions it does and your monthly bill is outrageous. Im sure apple will come out with a better one though and i would like to see that one.

Well, I love my iPhone. That's all I have to say.

this is where you are wrong blfuture

my phone bill for verizon is 100 bucks and i get is 450 minutes. unlim internet and free verizon txting.

with at&t i will get 450 min unlimited errone txting and unlimited internet for the same price. but with at&t i can txt anyone... with verizon i have to pay a grand amount.

im guessing youve never really compared plan pricing?

also, you get a ipod and a phone built into one device. i dont know where you get to think that the iphone isnt worth it.

the ipods are not worth it if you ask me. why pay 300 for an ipod when you can pay 100 more for the iphone?

im sorry but i just had to clarify this.

Yeah. I don't see why so many people get iPod Touches and why the iPhone is so unpopular.

Also, I'm having a problem with my mail. Whenever I click on the mail icon on the home screen, the mail starts to load and then disappears, and goes back to the home screen. I had it hacked with installer and all of that but then it had a MAJOR glitch and when I clicked the top button to put it into sleep mode the screen would go about half dark and all my screen that you see when you use the slider to start the phone would appear, about half dark. The icons on my home screen would work, but doing anything on any app did not work at all. So, I restored it on iTunes to take installer off and the rest of the phone works, but my mail does not. BTW, when I hacked it, I was using the 1.1.4 firmware and I used the ZiPhone hacker, (supposed to be the one that works with 1.1.4....) Can anyone help me?

To funny, I had this exact problem when I installed some beta app, really pissed me off

One day I was on the net, and found something cool, so I wanted to email it to me, so I went and said send to bla bla, emailed it to me, and after I did that my mail worked, I guess the mail home buttons folder or something was weird, but it fixed my prob

the ipod touch, to me, makes no sense. it's just eye candy without the mass storage gooey center of the ipod classic.

i have, and love, the 160gb ipod classic. it holds/archives over 7,000 of my songs, over 2,000 of my high res photos (i take a lot of shots with my digital rebel), about 8 full movies, and is still under half the capacity. works great as an external storage device as well, and i have the other 80gb at my disposal.

i lost all my music and pictures when an old hard drive decided to fry out, so being able to archive my full music and photo collection on my ipod is important.

Okay so it isnt that badly priced anymore. It was a while back. But at&t service is not better than verizon IMO. I had mine when it first came out. I got raped with the bill and the phone never worked right. I took it back and got a different one and that one didnt work right either. Maybe they have fixed a lot of issues with new software updates since then. So maybe you can understand where i am coming from here. I just express my experiences which to my demise were not very good. And since i was over the trail (mainly trying to get a phone that actually worked) i had to pay a termination fee and everything. Was not a good experience at all. I hope yours goes much better though.

Yeah im sure the new iphone will fix any flaws the current iphone has and will cost a fortune. And yeah i agree verizon has pretty crappy phones. I am with T-mobile now and for the most part they are decent. But i have yet to find a great cell phone provider. Been with Alltel, At&t(cingular), t-mobile, verizon.
T-mobile and verizon were the best. But like you said no cool phones.
