[deleted post]Dude, I get what you are saying... Maybe your iphone can record video, send mms, multi-task, etc... but you had to jailbrake it to do it! The point is that there are tons of devices out there (both mid and high-end) that can do that plus, a 1,000 things more, right out of the box... get my point? You had to go an extra mile (or 10) to get the iphone to do basic stuff other devices even take for granted...

          People, come on...Iphone is not the uber phone, everything is just in the marketing, because outthere are phones, much,much better then the Iphone!!

          All WM and Symbian powered devices are better, 2MP camera is out of date,no video, and no autofocus,or flash...that's stone aged!!

          I have never seen a bussines man,with an Iphone, but I've seen a lot with E-series...mostly E51,and E90(I had one by myself,a great phone).

          Also, you can see those people with HTC Tytn2 and other WM devices. Iphone is for a well done marketing move by apple, and millions are following them, but the product it's self is not so good!

          I would never change my Omnia for an Iphone!!

          And now something to the LG, the S-clas UI is great, usefull and good looking, and It will be a bestseller.

              joe, 16 Mar 2009Who cares about old iphone. It only has a 3mp camera with ... moreLG is getting better and better... Very nice indeed...

              For Joe:
              Try 2 (instead of 3) MP with terrible quality... ;-D

              For others:
              I don't get those people who keep defending iPhone like it's a religion or something.
              Other than its web browser, the iPhone lacks the rest of capabilities that other (even lower) phone has...
              And the worst thing:
              Considering iPhone as a "MUSIC" phone, it doesn't even have A2DP (Steroe Bluetooth)...
              How retarded is that...?

                DPrince, 16 Mar 2009I like what your saying It can resemble that of a 4 year ol... more"none have come close to beating it"
                ur right they hvnt come close to beating it, they hv beaten it (a few years ago as well).
                iphone uses 2mpx cam with no video, no auto focus, no settings. while there r phones with 8mpx and a phone with 12mpx has been announced.
                iphone lacks several feature in msging that other phones hv had for over a decade
                iphone cant multitask
                statistic prove it takes longer to type in a number to call on the iphone compared to almost every other phone
                iphone has even made user-replaceable batteries a feature on other phones (something that came standard)

                "one thing and any phone that is touch screen now in days just wants to be the iphone and any phone that wants to be good is just a copy of the original"
                ur probably thinking of the capacitive touchscreen iphone uses which is on other phones as well. eg: htc g1, palm pre... apple/iphone did not come up with multitouch. multitouch was used in the 20th century but not really available to the public. anyway, there r other phones which now support multitouch. as for responsiveness, other phones with capacitive touch screen should be about as responsive. neonode was the only company that used optical touchscreen which is more responsive that capacitive and works with anything, wen u hv ur gloves on, with a stylus... in fact neonode were the first to use sweeping gestures on a touchscreen to navigate. eg: slide ur finger down and the menus scrolls up or down. also neonode were the first to use slide to unlock. so if the technology iphone uses was used before iphone how can others be copying iphone? they are NOT. there were phones that looked like iphone before iphone and there probably always will be. (btw neonode is now bankrupt)

                "it does not matter what you say the only phone that companies want to beat is iphone jail break it and you will realize why i say what i say"
                so basically ur saying void ur warranty so u can get the features that should hv come with the phone in the first place like video recording. which still sucks bcos the features r simply not gud enuf. software can only get u so far, it cannot replace the hardware that something lacks.

                "i been in the same phase as you and now i see the real truth nothing is as responsive as fast as simple as an iphone"
                neonode is more responsive
                iphone is slow, (takes more time to call a number on iphone than most other phones, and its slower than ipod touch, eventhough u pay more for iphone considering ur 2yr plan) and it cant multitask which is probably why it might seem faster than some other phones.
                ur right nothing is as simple as an iphone but how hard cud it be to use phones? also why wud i want a phone thats so easy to use a baby can do it? check youtube.

                "and if you listen to music it just makes it better for people with small pockets that don't want to carry a ipod and a phone and seriously you know that you yourself have a ipod"
                most phones can play music, its not like the iphone is the only one. but why listen to music on ur phone, the sound quality is not as good. also iphone is not a small phone.

                most of the features u get on iphone u can also get on ipod touch. just buy urself another phone and ipod touch. this is in fact almost always cheaper than hving an iphone with the 2yr plan. (depends on the other phone). so this way u get a better phone and probably all the stuff u like of the iphone with the ipod touch.

                    but it's cause everyone wants to be notice to a certain degree with there
