woah..what a record...one thing to say,'STOP CHEATING THE CONSUMER'S MONEY STEVE JOBS!!" Once the true nature of the iphone is revealed, you are going down the drain.. and other mobile phones manufacturing company would easily claim your spot of the so-called "Revolutionary device".
Apple's marketing techniques usually charm those consumers who are not technologically-inclined... just a minor 'swish here and there' in the UI..and those consumers would immediately go 'So COOL!!' and buys it without actually going through conscious process... not forgetting celebrity endorsements and peer pressure to conform with social groups..apple is smart and sneaky at capturing consumers through their emotional and reference group marketing appeals..easy money earned!
but not for me though, as an avid learner in continuously updating myself with the current technology, a good phone is based on its overall performance, functionality and physical characteristics which is compatible in the current period, not those outdated tech and claim it as a new technology.
so, consumers out there, a rational purchasing decision can save up lots of your resources and psychological crisis (such as disappointment). And to apple, please do something really revolutionary (like creating a phone with 5X optical zoom) instead of just holding on to the title of 'the first phone that comes in touch-screen' which is already obsolete..
yes, i am a marketing student and current user of the iphone 3GS and i know this very well (i.e. lacks many great functions such as bluetooth file tranfer). The upgraded iphone 4 doesn't seem to impress me in anyway (and still does not solve that problem yet). If apple were to start a school of marketing..sign me up..XD

Heartbreak Kid, 29 Jun 2010LOL Ha Ha Oh I wouldnt be ashamed of having an iPhone 4. Wh... moreWell don't be ashamed, I'm sure only hald the planet knows by now how iPhone easily makes the worst phone in the world:
-worse signal than 3GS that cuts up
-(VERY)cheap glass that scratches – miserable lies in advertising
-cheap screen with light leakage and dead pixels – more lies
-inverted buttons – no quality control
-sim slot defects – bad soldering of components
-faulty cameras, microphones, proximity sensors – cheap parts
Head and shoulders above everyone I say!
Just don't touch the right shoulder =)))))
Because than it's just an "i" without a "Phone", you know... a gameboy :))))))))))))))))

He will start telling you how poor you are and probably use DLNA because you are poor, while he flies first class where they serve cheetos with 7up and they let you play pong on an iPad with the stewardess.
You have no idea to whom you talk to do you??
He's one of the guys who said:
"Apple is doing a great thing in showing their customers how to hold their iPhones. Other manufacturers should follow their example"

Well it was either him or FJTe

Despite the problems listed, the phone is still head and shoulders above any Nokia and Sony Ericsson :) I have a 3GS but if I didnt I wouldnt think twice about getting an iPhone 4! :)
Id be more ashamed having a boring HTC, a bug ridden Nokia or a rubbish Sony Ericsson, and then troll around Apple forums to bash the iPhone!!!

Fred, 29 Jun 2010Ok so.... Nokia make hundreds of phones.... Does that mean ... moreYes, iOS is easy to use and we all admit it. However, it still ain't targeting everyone. Why? Because iPhone is expensive and doesn't target those who are less well-off. iOS also is not very useful for big business guys due to the lack/flaws of various functions.

samkol, 29 Jun 2010You seem to be super smitten by the IPhone. Its amazing tha... moreLOL dont make me laugh! Not one Sony Ericsson can compare its UI to even the original iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since when has it always been about high specs. iPhone users miss a lot of the features you have mentioned like a hole in a head! I have smartphones with flash support for the browser, DiVx, bluetooth for file transfer.....I have the iPhone without these feature and I couldnt care less! Like most iPhones users! Flash is dodgy in most phones (id like to see how the Froyo 2.2 fares), bluetooth file transfer is not a regular occurance (id much rather use the bluetooth for headset support). And iTunes works a treat for me! I have all my music albums copied on it, transfers it to my iPhone by a simple sync, whats so difficult about that? iTunes is so easy to use, I have my own ringtones and movies on my iPhone, which AINT jailbroken!
iPhone haters do like to think off daft excuses to hate the iPhone ha ha

Why do people give a f*** for what profits companies make? It's not their company, for crissakes. If a company that I bought a product from made such abnoxious profits, I'd know that I was overcharged. And this applies to Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and all companies whose profits are higher than the GNP of certain countries. Stop getting so happy for being ripped off by big companies and get a brain.

Heartbreak Kid, 29 Jun 2010Ha ha ha ha ha Why are Nokia and Sony Ericsson lovers tryin... more"the N8 will no doubt be a bug ridden disaster."
Amazing how ignorant you are =)))
Nokia uses symbian which is the first smartphone OS ever made that has been improved every year for almost 15 years. There are no bugs in symbian and there never were as it was conceived bug-free in a time when phones couldn't just plug in and update - back then a released Symbian OS was the image of perfection.
On the other hand there's mac OS X, which was newly made in 2004 because Apple was going down big time because of using cheap Chinese cpus. They had to move to intel and rewrite the whole platform.
Mac OS X and everything based on it is a bug ridden disaster.

But I love Apple as a brand and know the iPhone 4 may have its problems but overall is still a brilliant phone! Yeah its got a few problems which have affected a few people, Apple will resolve these and there will be many happy iPhone 4 customers.
When have Nokia owners been able to say that about? Dreadfull smartphones that frustrate many users on many different issues, yet Nokia carry on selling phones with a backdated bug ridden OS!!!! :)

The UI experience is fantastic, agreed. Whats annoying is the apple wants users to use the phone. Even in this age you cannot use the phone as a flash drive to transfer data.For anything and everything we have to use the itunes(rubbish). Even if you want to pee on the phone you might have to pee on the itunes which will convert it to ipee lolz. Bluetooth cannot be used with other phones.(How boring would it be if there was just one fruit ipple). Camera is just about OK. Obviously not comparable to any SE phone.

An ancient people had a great prophet who was very close with their God. One day he climbed a mountain so that he could be closer to the deity. Once he reached the top, he found a strange device lying on a rock. He picked it up and quickly learned to use it, and it became his peoples most sacred object. They called it 'iphone'. The prophet was able to converse with angels through it. Then one day disaster struck. The iphone fell from his hand and the glass screen cracked. The prophet felt he committed grave sins and this was his punishment. He could still talk to the angels though. The next day the iphone lost connection to the angels.. The prophet became desperate but no amount of rubbing on the metal band helped. This wasn't Aladdin's magic lamp after all. Tired after his exertions, he fell asleep leaving the holy iphone lying in the sun. When he woke up, he was horrified to see it burn to ashes from the sun's unforgiving rays. Mortified, he prayed fervently, asking his God for answers. Out of the heavens came a booming voice: My son, you were holding it wrong!
