[deleted post]The iPhone is so far ahead all the sheep fail to see it's potential, you want a 12 megapixel camera with optical zoom and xenon flash for your iPhone?
Just wait 'til someone makes a module to plug into the dock adaptor.
1000 new API's...
Remember those words!

The only people that would say anything bad about the iphone are the people out there that are to poor to enjoy the only phone in the world that only gets better with time. You show me another phone that is not obsolete 3 months after it comes out, and I will bet you the only phone you will find is the IPHONE! Even the 2g model is still a great phone and still updated with the iphone 3g and is still getting better with time. MOTOROLA, NOKIA, HTC, SAMSUNG, PANTECH, all these companies have to release a new phone every 3 months or less just to keep up with the iphone. $1 dollar extra per day and you have the world at your finger tips. The reason that APPLE customer are the way they are is because we believe in a product and a company that thinks outside the box, and tries to reinvent itself whenever it sees the need to do so.

like the hell i would pay a 600$ for a phone that i can buy for 450$ in ebay or even less.
apple should start selling the phone in a reasonable prices without any third party involved,that way they will have a huge increment in Iphone sales.

Davide, 20 Mar 2009Now i am giving cunstructive serious critique or my persona... more" the issue is the Iphone 3G. Why in the name of bad sound kills good music would u americans recommend the Iphone 3G as a good music device? It's a disaster!! Now i have borrowed my gilrfriends Nokia N79 til i can figure out what phone to buy, but i am actually leaning towards the N79 now that i have used it for a week, and the sound in the music player of tne N79 is actually pretty damn tight and rockin good quality."
Test Frequency response Noise level Dynamic range THD IMD + Noise Stereo crosstalk
Nokia N79 +0.30, -1.57 -91.8 91.8 0.014 0.482 -73.5
Apple iPhone 3G +0.52, -1.05 -89.9 90.1 0.0033 0.016 -93.1
These numbers show that you have no idea what you are talking about compare the distortion 0.014 vs 0.0033 and 0.482 vs 0.482 then the stereo crosstalk -73.5 vs -93.1.
Here is an explanation:-
The total harmonic distortion (THD) and the intermodulation distortion (IMD) might be the next items you will notice on our measurement results. By the name you know they are a measure of the unwanted altering of the original signals. Distortion is the name given to anything that alters a pure input signal in any way other than changing its magnitude. So, as you might have guessed it, the lower the number, the better the sound reproduction.
and:-
"The stereo crosstalk is another thing of importance that we measure in our tests. Crosstalk measurement is made to determine the amount of signal leaking across from one channel to another or in purely non-technical terms it measures how good the stereo is. So, the higher the absolute value, the better the stereo."

I work for O2 (UK) and this news coincides with the fact that we are now offering the iPhone on 24 month contracts at a lower price. The 18 month £35 tariff is £99/£159 for the 8Gb/16Gb respectively, but on 24 month as of yesterday, the 8Gb is free on the £35 tariff and £59 for the 16Gb (and on the £45 tariff over 24 months, the 16Gb is free!) Seems they're wanting to shift stock pretty sharpish for some reason... I wonder what it could be...

Here is a link to the Lab tests done by GSMarena so you can see for yourself:-

Of course I know about the difference between the iPhone and the iPhone 3G obviously you don't as, in case you haven't noticed this thread is in regard to the latter so your comments are made even more irrelevant.
"Bass Boost" is a trademarked name not in use by Apple so how it got on your iPhone (even if you had one) is beyond me, there is also no facility in the equaliser settings to create your own settings, further exposing your story for the rubbish it is.
My advice to you is ditch the Sennheisers and go for Shure, they give you more bang for the buck in the low to mid price range.
Finally go flac yourself.

I am done with this sandbox with peeing 5 year olds. Just let people have their own opinion of something from the their own experience. I know as many people that enjoy their Iphone as well the equal amount of people that wanna flush it down the drain, It's based on personal experience. That i was my story and my encounter with the Iphone. Nobody is lying and nobody is stupid. So what if Samsung makes the chip in the Iphone, it doesnt mean all the Samsung Mp3 players and Mobiles have the same sound quality you uneducated fool. It also depends on the different OS in each device and how they carry the sound fequency and use the output of the processor. I have been working with audio all my life at Denon in Europe, so don't teach me about audio processors. So how come you same guys say that Iphone 3G has alot better sound then Iphone 2G, didn't Samsung make both the audio processors? In your own argument the sound should be the same right? Anyway, i don't need to increase the rate on the Mp3 files, because i only use lossless anyway. I'll be back someday when the total IQ of stubborn Iphone users reach past donkeys ass and they accept that everybody has their own opinion and experience.

You know i am telling the truth, that's why ... moreOh, yeah the reason the Samsung is included with the iPods/iPhone's is that SAMSUNG MAKES THE AUDIO chip...
...do you understand the implications of that, when you said the sound of Samsungs are better, the most they can be is the same.
That proves your lie.

You know i am telling the truth, that's why ... moreThe sound quality is excellent as it is and is backed up by lab tests performed by GSM Arena which shows iPhone's, iPods and some Samsung phones have the highest quality audio output due to the hardware used.
Thousands of reviewers and millions of users will also verify this.
Maybe you need to get your hearing checked as there is obviously something wrong.
P.S. There is no need to mess with the equalizer presets at all, try ripping your MP3's at a higher bitrate, I use 320.
