The iPhone has most features consumers have been waiting to have. I also think the price will not deter people from buying the Apple iPhone. I even think they will sell more then the 10 million Apple iPhones they expect to sell within the next year.

It looks like Apple’s really put a lot of thought and design into it (no surprise).

After thinking on it a little while though, I must say I was underwhelmed. I am currently a Treo 650 user and this is my 3rd Palm-based smartphone (the others being a Treo 270 and a Kyocera 6035). I use the calendar quite heavily, and set alarms for appointments, etc. Steve mentions that the iPhone has a calendar, but that’s all he says about it.

I’ve also recently started using my Treo as an iPod (1Gb SD memory card with MP3s), and even a video iPod (with the TCPMP application), streaming the sound to my bluetooth wireless headphones! Wish I could get wifi on it though. Doh!

I also read that as “16 hours of continuous audio playback.” There’s nothing on Apple’s iPhone site or anywhere else about the iPhone’s standby time, which is what I’m really interested in. My Samsung A900 from Sprint only gets about 3 hours of talk time, and maybe 30 hours of standby time (by standyby I mean the phone is on and connected to the network but you’re not sending or receiving any calls, messages, or using it other than maybe turning the display on to check the time or something).

“Up to 5 hours of talk time depends on network configuration. Up to 16 hours of battery life refers to music playback. Up to 5 hours of battery life is based on H.264 1.5-Mbps video at 640-by-480 resolution combined with 128-Kbps audio.” -http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/specs.html

As far as crappy phones its true the US has mainly crappy ones and about 20-30 models per carrier at a time, I spent 2 weeks in china and saw a zillion more models than are offered in the US, basically in Asia cellphones already do and have all the features of the iPhone but as far as I saw ( I could be wrong) none had the elegance of the actual user interface, so thats what I am excited about, now if I had the user interface, and unlocked phone, that I could put my own apps on, and it had say one or 2 buttons you could use when the touch screen is locked on the go to answer calls or something, that would be neat, but for now I’m looking into getting an unlocked Asian phone and getting a sim card based service here, which apparently lots of businessmen and military do as well when they travel to and from there.

It is only 5 hours on the iPhone. That is ridiculously low.

But yeah, I still think the iPhone is cool, Apple really knows how to make people excited about their products.

“Democracy is the worst form of government except all of the others that have been tried before.” -Winston Churchill

I don’t have a RAZR either but my Samsung A900 is, well, crap as well. The iPhone looks like it does a lot of things better, but it also will do some things worse (namely battery life and durability), I’ll have to wait until I have one in hand to play with.

“My guess is Rogers, as they use SIM cards like Cingular and they are bigger than the other SIM card users (I cant remember if that means they are CDMA or GSM). I use Bell, so I’ll have to pay them to end my service plan early.”

As far as I know SIM = GSM for the most part. I’ve also heard that AT&T is partnering with Rogers in Canada so perhaps…

I don’t have a RAZR but my Sony-Ericsson is crap. As were all the other cell phones I’ve ever owned or used. Crap, crap, and more crap.

I’d love to hear about this miracle phone that isn’t crap, Sebhelyesfarku, if indeed you even know of one. I’m sure millions of other unhappy cell phone users would love to know this too.

Please share with us your infinite cell phone wisdom.

My guess is Rogers, as they use SIM cards like Cingular and they are bigger than the other SIM card users (I cant remember if that means they are CDMA or GSM). I use Bell, so I’ll have to pay them to end my service plan early.

The fact that the UK is getting it in Q4 is promising…I assume we will get it then too.
