The iPhone

Cali · 06-06-2007, 10:02 PM

i admit that i'm incredibly biased against ipods, but the iPhone looks AWSOME, i want one

borneoman · 06-06-2007, 10:40 PM

Saw the commercial on tv yesterday!! WHAT's THE PRICE?????????

Cali · 06-06-2007, 10:51 PM

dunno but i'm sure it wont be cheap, besides you have up to sign for a two year contract with cingular/at&t, which sucks btw

Supposedly the 4gig one will cost $499 and the 8gig one $599. I'd love to get one, but I'd have to change phone companies and pay an extra $200 fee. A little to much for my pocket.

I also don't care for the Ipod products, but I liked the idea of the Iphone. It was the first product that really seemed to think several steps ahead. Or at least thought to put multiple technologies together.

So for those of us who don't like Apple products there's an alternative - the Meizu M8 MiniOne.

I don't know when these will be available, but they seem to be more impressive than the IPhone's - a clone, but with more to offer:

Too expensive

I hope they're better quality than I-pods or MAC E-books, which are ok in price but very bad quality...

it looks amazing: "Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS". wi-fi is the way to go, i have a smartphone with wi-fi and i can use skype and save on my minutes

It looks great but I'd never buy one, because I don't need one. I'm one of those old-fashioned people who use phones for making calls (and sending text messages). I have a computer for the internet, I'm not planning to get lost in the Sahara, so no GPS needed and I'd never take photos (thats what my FM2 is for) or watch movies (too small screen) with one.

ive seen reviews on it and what not. and basically. its so small that the touch sceen is just impractical. apple havnt really done a great job here. thsey thought they had. insted of going to the convention where everyon presents there new products, they held there special lillt apple on just for this phone. and all they could say was look. you can scroll with your finger..."yeah great. why didnt you advertise it to a bigger market and take it to the main convention"

Maybe this is more to your liking... It's a record player.

i don't either

I think the iphone is pretty sweet looking as well but too unnecessary and expensive... What I want is the blackberry pearl when my phone decides to clunk out on me.

Ships_Were_Sailin · 06-09-2007, 02:34 PM

isnt the new nokia just the same as the iphone? the radio 2 guy said that it is, he said it does everything that the iphone does, only better.

Kristi · 06-09-2007, 02:57 PM

which nokia? We over here in america get phones much later than Europe and not as technologically advanced either.
