      One word.. Pathetic.."

      I'm a fan of iPhone, and I agree with you on this.
      Before I became iPhone fan, I was a fan of SE, and before that I was fan of Nokia and few other makes before that.
      What I hated most is reading comment(s) that's baseless regardless who it is from.
      Being a fan of iphone for just 1.5 years I do amit that Apple screwed up on the "copy/cut & paste" & MMS functions. As for the 2mp camera, it's a bad choice too but everybody have to start from somewhere.
      Physical keyboard or not, that's personal preference and I personally prefer the numeric keypad & jog-dail of SE P-900.
      cheers.

        Anonymous, 20 Jun 2009 No DUAL SIM - How many people needs Dual Sim?- People w... moreI travel all the time during on duty. No point need the standard USB, it still a cable and you need to bring alone and I will charge it using my laptop, if no laptop is needed during job or vacation, then I just bring over the same cable with head to plug-in to power cored.

        Asking you how many phone using standard USB port, only announcing few recently, if you not bring alone the cable, are you guarantee you capable of borrowing from someone else?

        QWERTY keyboard is useless for me as I can type as fast or even more using touch.

        Designers and architects need stylus for drawings??!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! you the most nonsense people in this world, continue your dream of dual SIM, stylus and QWERTY. (No phone is meet your requirement, maybe china phone will do the job as even N97 also no dual SIM, 3 units Samsung dual SIM which is low end phone without QWERTY keyboard as well.

        So go made a specific one for your own! Your request not much company will bother about it, dual SIM just made the phone more bulky and not much people ready need it. How about request a Quad SIM even better.

            No DUAL SIM - How many people needs Dual Sim?- People who trave abroad

            No Slide out Qwerty keyboard - What the point having it if the touch is so great.- Not great enough for long and lots of email

            No Stylus - Who needs stylus? Capacitive no need and stylus just troublesome.- Designers and architects for drawings

            No Removable battery - Ya, is better having it for easy replacement.- fnally some sence

            Radation ????? Too high - What phone low radiation?E90 has low radation ... apple has no idea abt this and is not focussing on this at all

            No standard mini usb charger - What the point must be? charge anywgere with any charger... when you travel you will know

            No standard headphone jack - Please check carefully, since iPhone 3G have standard headphone jack.- Good


            All these prevent making this phone the greatest - Another nonsense post.U seem like a person who dose not travel.... which makes you err a little @~#$R~#@

                    Andrew Tan, 20 Jun 2009It is just a minor updates for me also. If you own iphone 3... moreIt has some meaningful upgrades such as more powerful processor, more ram (no more crashes in apps)an autofocusing camera (which is a big deal for me as it has autofocus)and some novelties like a compass. Unless I sell my iPhone 3G, I don't think I will be upgrading as they look the same. I am waiting on the next one though.

                        If you don't have any iPhone before, iPhone 3Gs is still one of the great selection for it, if you already own any iPhone 3G before, then is questionable why you still one to get a so similarity product.

It renders YouTube videos 3 times clearer and better audio as well compared to the native YouTube app that comes with the iphone.

If there is anyone here who is losing their mind, that would be you sir =)

I've used it several times and it looks good. It would even be better with the 3gs with a 3mp camera w/ better photo processor, w/ 30fps video capture. I don't think low end camera phones offer that combo, much more real flash. The iphone's camera specs is practical for its purpose. It's only been a day, and you already call it a flop? LOL. That wouldn't be a smart thing to say. You said you compared the 3gs today with your iphone 3g? Wow, you have both iphone's? LOL. You are not making any sense. You've been saying that other low end phones are better than the iphone, yet you have 2 iphones? Hmmmm, something really wrong with that picture, lol.

Try getting emails on them and you will start crying. I have used it with Exchange server and it really sucks. On the other hand, iphone is 90% as close to a Blackberry in terms of email receiving and handling. But if you are interested in photo taking, etc then of course N97 is better since it is more equipped. On Games, iphone is again better since there are many more games. On music, iphone is better due to ipod. If you tube, face book, then N97 is better. Really depends what you need on a phone and there is really no point to argue when these 2 phones are not in comparison. If you want to compare iphone, it should be compared with a Storm Blackberry or Pre Palm. Those are also email phones.

It makes you look desperate and silly. There is no hype, just an iphone that works really well for what it does. That's the reality. Why would O2 report to you? LOL. Wow, your hate for the iphone has really made you go nuts, lol. As for your N97, we don't really care =) Get back to us once the N97 outsells the iphone (never gonna happen, lol). If you're happy with your n97, good for you, but why are you here? The iphone's specs is practically what most people really need and use, and it works effortlessly and smoothly. If your nokia and samsung phones are too good for the iphone, why are you here comparing them to the iphone? LOL. Shouldn't you be comparing your nokia and samsung phones somewhere else? Jealous =)
