Hey guys look at me
i'm so cool i have and i phone i complain about lack of features so i jailbreak and get the stuff i want i updated and have an app store to download useless stuff using itunes all the time

i don't have any friends so i thought if i got an iphone i would make some since i look more in the crowd with my iphone

the only mp3 play that i know of is the ipod since i'm so ignorant and
same with phones with my iphone

i waited 3 years for basic features
my warrenty was up so i have to pay full price for a new iphone
I only have choice white or black 8 or 16gb which sucks cause i don't what that much

when it gets cold it can't write or use my iphone cause i wear glove
it's common sense to do so
i see aplot of people with BBs and how there more oriented to business

i really don't see the 100 features in the iphone
that's cause i got sucked and lied to
XD

    [deleted post]- The N97 is not even out yet still you are in love with it. So who is the brainless sheep?
    - The 5800 was the worst Nokia ever made and officially the worst touch screen phone ever made. Anyway if you like it stick with it, but don’t say that it is anywhere near as the iPhone because it is not.

    Any of these phones are nowhere near to the capabilities of the iPhone. Can you do these with your 5800?:
    - control the iTunes music player on you PC or Mac to play music on your HIFI system (wirelessly of course)
    - Play you music files from your iPhone n your HIFI wirelessly
    - Manage my eBay sellers account form anywhere (not just looking at it, but editing, uploading, selling… )
    - use third party calling software to make free calls to my home country
    - send and receive any kind of files form my PC to my iPhone and back wirelessly (this is cool when I want to take some stuff to my friends), oh and up to many GBytes that is

    These are just my favorites… I could continue.

    There are other good phones out there as well (Omnia), but iPhone is the KING and it will remain the KING for a long-long time. If some other phones will rival them, than it is going to be Samsung or HTC, maybe SE but definitively not Nokia.

                      Nayo, 18 Mar 2009Why are people calling the Iphone a smartphone?? I think,th... moreThere are 800,000 developers who have just been given another 1,000 API's to play with.

                      Hey, those 1,700 workers Nokia just sacked can develop for iPhone.

                      After all just because Nokia can't afford to keep their R&D labs open it doesn't mean the workers talents have to go to waste.

                      I quite like the way GPS works now, street view is really cool I know exactly which place I'm going to.

                      Besides it took Nokia quite a few years to sort out all the licensing issues with their maps.

                            Why are people calling the Iphone a smartphone?? I think,that Iphone is a fun phone, it's not that much smart!

                            Why GPS,when I can't put navi on it..how smart is that??When I give out so much money, I wan't to have an allrounder, and after selling my E90, I had the chance to choose beetwen Iphone,Tytn2,and Omnia...Omnia was my choice,and It was a good one.

                            With the PointUi interface, whic is fully customable...and it's amazingly fast and smooth(better then manilla 3d),it's looks just awsome!

                            About the Iphone updates....great,now it's going to be a good phone,not great...but good.

                            In 10 years...when it will have all the camera features,and all that's needed,it will be a great phone!

                            But I'm happy for all Iphone users:)

                                  For all the iphone haters posting here:
                                  I changed my omnia for an iphone, WinMo devices aren't as good as you try to make them look, iphone can be usefull in corporate, my omnia asked 5 times in a row for my corporate credentials to login to the wireless and after 10 minutes it dropped and had to try 5 times again before it reconnected, the mail app in iphone is great, wi-fi stays connected, remembers settings, if i go outside signal range and then return it will reconnect. Now they're letting turn-by-turn navigation software into the appstore, the only thing that's missing compared to other high-end winmo phones is the good quality camera wich shouldn't be a replacement for a good dedicated digital camera anyway.
                                  Sound is incredible, wi-fi just works, mail is great, entartainment on the go, sure no fm radio, who cares, i don't want it, it's more talk than music on my local stations, screw it.
                                  I've had the iphone for a couple of weeks and it serves me better as a pda/ipod/phone and soon pna than my omnia.
                                  As for nokia and symbian: didn't they break app compatiblity on the new symbian? how manny apps do you have for it now?(i'm not sure about this so don't flame me if i'm wrong)

                                    Hey GSMArena editor, is this a typo error?

                                    "Anti-fishing tool in Mobile Safari"

                                    I guess it really is. It should be "anti-phishing".
