iPhone inquiry

[cfmoran]

Was wondering if anyone here has an iPhone. Here in the US, only AT&T offers them. And, in the past, AT&T's coverage has been awful. I've heard it's gotten a lot better. I'm really considering switching so I can get an iPhone. For people who have one, what is your opinion? Would you recommend it?

Some people rave about them, others hate them, its all down to personal taste i suppose.

I dont have one, i had the closest thing to one, i had an HTC Magic, supposedly the closest thing to an iphone, i got rid after a week, and got a Nokia N96#

I hated the fact everything was touch screen, even a text message, you had to type on a mini keyboard that comes up, my fingers kept hitting the other letters constantly, HTC has its own "Marketplace" kinda like Xbox live, where you could download applications, ringtone etc, either for free, or for a small fee, that was the best thing about the fone.

If its true, and it was very close to an iphone, then i wouldnt get one, too much pissing about involved for me

My buddy here in Canada loves the phone itself, but his bill averages $80, mainly due to the network fee.

I have an iTouch and I love it!

I have an iPhone 3G and I love it, my brother just got a 3GS. At least in my area, I always get pretty good signal. I love the GPS feature and all the different apps for it. Its a great device to have.

I am in love with it, its my first cellphone and I cannot get enough of it. I havent had any problems and I was able to get a custom plan from Rogers so my bill is 50$ a month and I have lots of minutes, free Rogers to Rogers (which is ALL my friends and family), unlimited text messaging (sent and received) voicemail, caller ID and a lot of other stuff.

It's true that either you love it or hate it, most of my friends have blackberries and they cannot get used to the touch screen; however, when i try their phones, its a pain in the ass to use those small keyboards, i usually give up.

The apps are great, I have a bunch that I enjoy playing on the bus, Bejeweled 2 rocks

I have one and I love it. With the new update on the iPhone 3G you can turn the phone sideways and the webpage, text page or email keyboard turns longways making the buttons wider and bigger so it is much faster and easier to type.

I love the gps on it. Also the aps for tracking biking and hiking distances.
I also just love the google voice control app. When I need to look up a number I just touch the google app speak the name of the business or whatever, the address and phone and directions usually come up in the search results. The number is a live link that you touch and then it ask you if you want to dial it. So cool

I have had At&t/Cingular/At&t for 11 years now. The coverage has gotten remarkably better since the Cingular/ At&t merge. I have coverage in the long desert stretches and the mountains and even some remote areas here in Nevada.

I love that I can access my email any where and any time.

There are so many cool apps and features about the iphone I could go on and on. The cost is $30 added on to your existing phone plan for the data package. You would have this some cost if you had a blackberry or other similar devise that works like a computer.

Thats the thing, why do you need a phone to act like a PC? A phone is a phone, and a PC is a PC, the more companys try and build a ""Phoneputer"", the higher the cost of the thing, then higher bills, it does my head in big time!!!

Cause the phone fits in my back pocket....

[LeperMessiah26]

Ah, but thats another thing, if they keep making these ""Phoneputers"" They have to get bigger dont they? And that means it wont fit in any bloody pocket anymore!!!

Sniff sniff, that was my thousandth post!
