Thread: Apple's new iPhone Release Date

  1. #1

    Apple's new iPhone Release Date

    Hey, did any of you guys see the iPhone commercials that aired on saturday? They say that the release date is on June 29th. According to Apple's website (which has the commercials if you want to see them) it's a possibility.

    Who's going to get one?? I know I will!!

    For a 4GB ($499) or a 8GB ($599) it better be good!

    I am not getting one.

    It does look damn cool though. I am waiting for the Xbox phone from Microsoft

    I don't see what's so special about it because it's another Ipod to me, who doesn't have one yet? It's not worth the price IMO.

    Re: Apple's new iPhone Release Date

    The iPhone is awfull. 1) Consider what it lacks: expansion slot, removable battery, tactile buttons, no third-party applications, 3G radio, premium camera, carrier variety, A2DP.

    While battery may not seem like a big deal, something that is so consuming as an iPhone will use up huge amounts of battery life. You have to support 3 radios, huge color screen, digitizer, and also the large flash memory. Avid handheld users will be fine with this, but for the average phone user, which uses a phone for probably a week to 3 days before they charge and don't carry a charger around, that is horrible. Not everyone is a road warrior. Add to this that once you have sucked the life out of the $600 device, you'll end up sending the phone back to Apple or AT&T for $100 to change the battery.

    One of the killers for the younger crowd is the lack of tactile buttons. For texters that rely heavily on knowing the combinations with one or two hands and need to text without having to look at the screen (in class, in the car, etc), they will be at a lost as to how to accomplish this. Another aspect of this is that the screen is relatively small for typing anyways and without a stylus to do something like Grafiti or transcriber, you will need a rather large space to type, which is like using virtual grafiti on a Sony TG50.

    No third-party? What does this mean? It means you get to use the phone as a phone and as a music player. Oh, and a web browser. . . (no buttons though). This means you can't use this for a smartphone, something that prosumers need. That means editting documents, corporate softwares, presenter software, GPS solutions, etc etc. This also means paying shitloads for games, no independent incentive to make apps to improve the iPhone, and very limited ability to expand outside of what Apple and the carriers want.

    wow haha i thought everyone would be excited. but everyone is different!

    I was really close to buying a new ipod because the 80GB one looked really appealing so I can put most of my videos on there when i'm on the road. After seeing some of you guy's feedbacks it doesn't seem that all cracked up to be. But I thought I'd wait for the iphone because it has the wider screen and everything. The 8GB max is kinda bugging me though.

    I'm using a cingular 8125 pda phone and I really like the keyboard for texting and stuff. I also like using the exel and other office apps on my phone to keep track of my finances. A phone without buttons might be hard with the iphone.

    same reason when i received my 8525 phone.
    had the 8125, but the 8525 is faster at browsing on line, and a better camera.. a better phone all around.. received the phone when cingular had some specials... so a bunch was saved!
    pocket pc are some what similar to the iphone if all you care is about touch screen features that the apple phone provides.
    2g of mini SD space is more than enough IMO...Â*
