I don't understand the iPhone hate. It's the most useful device I own and I would easily forfeit every other device I own before the iPhone (excepting my work computer).

iPod, phone, email access, Internet, gps device, yellow pages, on the go camera, etc etc etc all in one device. Briiliant. I don't know how I lived without it.

The app store increased the usefulness of the phone incredibly. There are some bitter little kids in this thread.

 

okay look for this devices.

 

nokia 5800 "tube" , nokia n96, motorola zn 5, blackberry thunder, samsung onmia, lg viewty, sony ericsson x1.

then come back and think of what you said.

Er? Because other companies make nice phones, the usefulness of the iPhone is somehow invalidated?

Like I said, I do not understand the hate for the iPhone. It's a hell of a device, just like some of the phones you listed.

 

The iPhone is far better then those devices at everything they all do (aside from being a phone, the iPhone is an adequate phone. but nothing better then any other phone).

 

  • Best phone for playing games: iPhone
  • Best phone for watching movies: iPhone
  • Best phone for playing music: iPhone
  • Best phone for surfing the web? iPhone
  • Best phone for storing and viewing pictures: iphone
  • Best phone for email: iphone

 

Where the iPhone is not the best, is as a camera, and it's GPS does not do turn by turn. It does have google maps, and that blows most phones away with it's usefulness compared to there GPS/Map offerings.

The iPhone kicks ass.

 

Oh God, did I just see that right? Did u just say that the best phone for email is the iphone LMAOOO. Blackberry is KNOWN for having the best email. If u knew anything about smartphones, u would know that push email (wat Blackberries do) is better than pull email (wat Iphone does). Everything else was right, but that email thing made me laugh.

 

Edit: The iphone JUST got push email with their software update 2.0, it still doesn't make it's email better than blackberries. Hell, if it was better, y is it that corporations use Blackberries instead of iphones? It's not because iphone released not too long ago, it's because Blackberries email is better (also because the keyboard on the iphone is kinda bad/hard to type fast and accurately)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_e-mail#BlackBerry

"BlackBerry became very popular, in part because it offers remote users "instant" e-mail; new e-mails appear on the device as soon as they arrive, without the need for any user intervention. The handheld becomes a mobile, dynamically updating, copy of the user's mailbox. As a result of the success of BlackBerry, other manufacturers have developed push e-mail systems for other handheld devices, such as Symbian based mobile phones."
