It's seems somewhat cool, but I was hoping it would have a camera built in with it, flash video, and maybe even a word processing and powerpoint program to make it as functional as a labtop would be.
You don't have to be poor to know what to spend your cash on. :eng101:Quote:

Good to see they added it, still not really interested in the device.Quote:

Because it's only useful if you do a 100 dollar a month plan? And srsly. There are much more useful ways to spend your money.Quote:

that statement means nothing
Because other, cheaper, phones do the everything the iphone does and more? I have a ipod touch and a regular old cell phone. Why would I want to pay a shit ton extra a month to have them combined?Quote:

The better question is, what need does anyone have for an iPhone?Quote:

I have no problem with those who own the phone and can afford the cost of the data plan, but there is no "gap" that the iPhone really fills. It's trendy (which is bullshit if you ask me), the multi-touch screen is the best out there and it has the biggest app store, but I promise that for most day-to-day users, all of that is unnecessary.
oh I'm not arguing against youQuote:

I myself have one, but that's a matter of preference - I like having everything all in one, and I really like to be able to access the internet wherever I go. It's nice, and incredibly useful in all situations.

1. BlackBerry's have pretty much always been terrible things in every way and everyone agrees on that fact (notice how businessmen have started shying away from them?)
2. it definitely fills a gap - the average user might not use all of the phone's apps to their full potential, but most teens do from what I've seen.
You're dead wrong. Blackberries require extensive private networks and databases, are not very advanced pieces of hardware, have an outdated operating system, and have been despised by businessmen since their inception. The reason they were (and are) so prevalent, is because there was nothing else available with the required features in the past: now every smart phone has the same - and better - features.Quote:

There's like 8 Android phones on the market or more.... My mom had a Droid, we both hated it.
I had a droid for a week. Hated it. Sold it back to my guy.Quote:
