Is anyone else sick of hearing about the iPhone?

I have a perfectly good Motorola cell phone, not the  RAZR, they suck ass. I have and iPod Nano 4g, and other than the py software I like it. iTunes has too many problems. Especially with burning mp3 discs.

Im not into hypes like this. Thats why I dont a)own a Dell computer, I own an HP laptop b)dont own a RAZR c)dont own a mustang and d)listen to py Emotional Rock. They are fads that will pass. The technology is infact greatly above anything I have seen, but Eric is right, the 1st gen products only get replaced with bigger and better things.

I wonder when the "Iwontdothisbecauseeverybodyelsedoesthat" fad will pass. (not aimed at anyone in particular) :D

Anyhoos, since the iPhone is only available thru AT&T so I won't be getting one, even if the price tag was within my range. I'm stuck with Verizon forevermore! :( That said, I'm pretty excited to see how well it will do in the real world. It's got some pretty sweet features. Once everybody has calmed down a bit I'll head over and check it out.

It demonstrates amazing functionality and a very smooth interface that is years beyond anything Microsoft has.  Windows Mobile sucks so bad its ridiculous!  Everyone I've had/used will randomly end a call, thats if you can get it to answer the  call.. Most of the time it takes so long for it to actually register you answered the call you just miss the call.  AND THE NUMBER ONE THING.. THE GOD  THING JUST WONT RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I it just walks your dog for you, they haven't upgraded it yet. ;)
That avatar makes me laugh every time I see it JeremyB, just because of the video it's from. lol.

I heard about the phone today for the first time at work. It's a sign :bowdown:

As far as to what is in and what is out, WHO CARES! If I like it, and it's popular and I can.....I buy it. If I like it, and everyone else hates it....I buy it. I've never gone for the popular, or just as bad, anti-popular stuff. I like Mustangs allot. I like my cougars better. I mean, everyone loved my 04' mach1, and I miss it a bit. My cougars mean so much more to me, even though it continuously breaks my heart and screams for more money.

I had to buy a cell phone for the first time a year ago, when I washed my last upgrade in the laundry. Oops. I have no land phone, just the cell. I bought the "sliver" for the features and the micro memory cards that go with it, and it's very small. It's nice, but it's just a phone.

I'm still waiting for the phone that folds out to a holograph flat panel monitor, with attachable sub woofers and true digital surround sound personally.

For me, the problem isn't the phone, it's the fanboys. This isn't the first time fanboys got downright obnoxious about an Apple product. Allow me to quote a couple of things from two years ago on another board, regarding the parody I posted on page 1:

Quote
The rebuttal is funny, except that it completely misses the point. My ad doesn't bash Apple or any Apple product on quality or ease of use; that Apple products are solid and easy to figure out is not in dispute, which makes the Microsoft bashing in the rebuttal ad so bizarre. Let me repeat that: the ad doesn't bash Apple or Apple products. The real target is described in the first paragraph:

Do you live for every product announcement, every incremental upgrade, every rumor and fake screenshot? Do you toss and blare and drone and ****ing gurgle about Apple products morning, noon, and night?

I'm bashing you, not Apple. The attack is directed at Apple fanboys and fangirls, not against Apple products. You guys are crazy about the Apple stuff. And you are so incredibly defensive of Apple that you interpret an attack on you, the maniac fans of Apple, as an attack on Apple itself. You then invariably defend Apple products while bashing Microsoft. I've seen this happen time after time.

So, let me recap:
Apple -- good.
Apple products -- good. (Expensive, but good.)
Apple fans -- crazy and annoying.

If you want to use a Mac, use it and be happy. But dear god PLEASE leave the rest of us alone!

That is the only point the author of this truly brilliant piece of satire is making.

And, because he is too much of a gentleman to say it, I will. The rebuttal is a pathetic turd. It's not funny, contains TYPOS and is just an immature and unoriginal schoolyard jab back at his satire. Ironic that it came out of the supposedly more enlightened, intelligent and artistic community!

Everything else is noise. Windows is nowhere near as horrible as 1000's of debates would have you believe nor is the Mac anywhere near as good (or as bad depending on perspective). Both platforms do nearly the same job, nearly as well, for nearly the same price. The PC IS cheaper, so the Mac folks need to let that argument go. The Mac Mini is $500 bare bare bare bones and built on a G4. Even buying from Dell, you can beat the Mac Mini pricewise. The Mac Mini design is, of course, excellent. Apple is a great design house.

Summary: if you want an Apple, buy one and enjoy it. Keep your politics out of it (notice the stab at Bush in the rebuttal satire? so obnoxious) and dont wear it like some badge of accomplishment. If any PC user wanted one, all we would have to do is save up a little more cash (there's REALITY again), go to an Apple store, put up with a facetious, goateed, know-it-all in a black shirt, and buy one. Then head to Starbucks and pose with it =P


The discussion I'm quoting from is below, and IMHO there are some very good arguments being made:

http://www.aboyandhiscomputer.com/show.php?ItemID=2204

My point is: I'm sure the iPhone is an outstanding product. Most Apple products are. I've simply had it with obnoxious fanboys pressuring me to buy one. I don't take kindly to pressure and I'll refuse to get one simply because of the pressure being applied to me (note, I'm not talking about anyone on this board -- I'm just ranting :evilgrin: ).

I call BS!  :hick:

Heh, my current cell phone is a good 5 or so years old.  Doesnt take pics or anything...it's used to CALL people!  Imagine that! *gasp*

I also hate music ringtones.  In an area with several people, some stupid 50 cent song starts up and everyone starts lookin in their pockets and/or purses.  I just sit there because guess what guys?  My phone RINGS!!!!  Like a regular phone!  OMG!!!  No way!
