Anonymous, 22 Nov 2010I find http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/ to be very PROFE... moreN8 is not even a phone anymore.

It beats professional cameras.
It can send and receive files at blazing speeds with Bluteooth 3.0
And it can connect real USB drives and flash memory!
This is really more of a computer than a phone!

WTF can iPhone do? Ancient bt connection that doesn't even support file sending.
A joke-port invented by apple 10 years ago and no USB port at all... what connectivity is that for 2010???

Is there an app somewhere for lame hardware?

Everything can be backtracked all over the net.

    What's your beef with N8? Jealous that it has GSM signal and doesn't need a condom? O the high end camera and the optical zoom?

    Or on the quality materials used compared to the cheap plastic sandwich that is the iPhone 4?

    So far:

    Nokia: aluminium
    Samsung: gorilla glass

    Apple: two sheets of cheap plastic and the antenna left on the outside 'cause there was no more room left =))))))

    http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/2010/06/iphone4-cheap-materials-confirmed.html

    Anyway iPhone don't need to last more than a few months. You can then get the white one and then iPhone 5 that is rumored to have no wifi signal at all :)))

        What are you people whinning about? Apple this, apple that.. If you like the iphone, get it. If you dont, f off, im particularlly sure that you are the least of apple's concern. It's not like a handful of a-holes can overthrow their shares. Stupid kids. I just hope one day you bashing morons realize that its a market, with competitors. They dont offer services because they LOVE you, you're just putting food on the table for some and affording private jets for others.

A corporation could only fool this many with an inferior product like the first iPhones because no one knew any better.

                  As for reasons why not to get one, besides the hardware design defects, there's plenty of reasons:http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/p/idont-list.html

                  As for everything in china being junk, not everywhere in Chine is there an insane steve jobs that pushes workers off buildings with ultra tight manufacturing schedules now is it?
                  http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/2010/05/apple-vs-human-rights.html

                  Did you know that an entire wing of foxconn is dedicated do Apple? No other company relies entirely on them or for making their entire product. They mainly build chargers for other companies.

                  Wit those working conditions iDon't need a device filled wit sweat drops and spit.

                    I'm also certain that China is also manufacturing half of the stuff you own/wear. So perhaps think about what you actually have before saying things about whole countries. I certainly wouldn't categorise ALL Americans as brainwashed.

                      20 REASONS WHY NOT TO BUY IPHONE

                      1. The first iPhone was not a 3G phone: What do you need 3G for? You can easily use the iPhone without using a 3G network and anyway, 3G is not particularly widespread, so this is not a problem.
                      2. The phone cannot send MMS: There is no need to send MMSs, hardly anybody sends MMSs.
                      3. You cannot forward a SMS: This is a function that hardly anybody uses and was therefore not included in the first iPhones.
                      4. The phone has a poor camera: The built-in camera is perfectly adequate and the iPhone takes fantastic photos with its camera.
                      5. It is not a real Smartphone, it cannot multitask: The phone has all the necessary functions and the OS is technically superior compared to other Smartphone OSs currently on the mobile market.
                      6. The iPhone cannot multitask, resulting in a great number of applications being unusable: The absence of multitasking is a deliberate design decision resulting in a faster UI.
                      7. You can not change battery on the iPhone: How many customers run around with spare batteries? None or very few.
                      8. Apple decides which applications you can install on the phone: This is good, because Apple thereby ensures that you do not get inferior programs on your phone.
                      9. The app store is a closed universe: Apple knows what is best for end users, which is good for the many iPhone users.
                      10. The phone does not support Flash: Flash is slow and not properly integrated with mobile phones, there are hardly any web pages that still use flash today.
                      11. The app store contains numerous small trivial commercial programs: The app store’s large selection gives users the freedom of choice and the many small programs help make the end users daily lives more fun.
                      12. It is difficult to use the touchscreen for fast SMS messaging: The touchscreen makes the phone easier to use and you quickly get used to it.
                      13. The iPhone is a low technology phone packaged in a sleek design: Apple has taken the combination of the design and UI to the next level, therefore the technological specifications don't really matter.
                      14. The quality of the phone is poor, calls are often interrupted and network coverage is poor: It is a good phone, these problems are due to the operators’ networks and not the phone.
                      15. You can only purchase the iPhone from operators chosen by Apple: Apple has spent a great deal of time and energy selecting the best operators for customers.
                      16. The iPhone is targeted at a niche segment and will not be able to develop further: Apple has succeeded in designing a phone for people that appreciate design and user friendliness.
                      17. The iPhone does not support memory cards: iPhones already offer the necessary memory people require and end users can choose between two models, one with a little memory and one with a great deal of memory.
                      18. You can not install your own browser: The browser Apple has designed is so superior that you do not need any other browser on your phone.
                      19. You cannot use the iPhone as a modem for your portable PC: People that have an iPhone do not need their portable when on the move.
                      20. There is no radio in the phone: You do not need a radio in your iPhone because the iPhone supports iTunes that offers almost unlimited music

                                    Have you considered the haters might only be upstairs in your tiny little brain?
