arpie Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Not Me & I've been a Mac computer user for the last 20 years!! They are great, but unless you are a mega user ...... too many $$$$$ Roberta
Squizy Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Sorry mate I can't see what all the fuss is about. I don't use all of the functions on my existing mobile yet alone a super gadget such as the iphone. Squizy
caranx Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Nice interface but features let it down...they should have had more in it. The N95 8G can do more, or look at the HTC TyTN11...they just arent as flash looking. If all else fails, Im sure you will see them on eBay soon.

robeebee Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 hey robeebee wats the LG viewty like???? thats wat im planing on upgrading to next week.....as good as its made out to be???. i love it mate great big screen and very clear video will take an 8 gig card but you must fill it past 6 gigs on your pc first and dont format the card on the phone or you will turn an 8 gig micro sd into a 2 gig the only thing it doesnt have is Navigator
flatty hunter626 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 yer the navigator was the only thing i could see to fault it in all the info i hav looked at on the web about it. ......thats pretty much made up my mind for me:) thnx.
BuckWild Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I'm hanging out for the BlackBerry Thunder For those on Vodafone/Optus, I reckon you should wait another 6 months coz i reckon Apple will release another 3G model that will be compatible with the UMTS 900 frequency which Vodafone will be rolling out this Christmas http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_thunder...3g-news-542.php
Dreamtime Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Its a bloody phone. Whats all the fuss about. Dave My Nokia 6500 Classic will do me fine.
puka9988 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 My Nokia 6500 Classic will do me fine. My nokia 6500 classic has got of what i need, except i keep braking it! i reckon there are other phones out there with more or the same as what the iphone has and cheaper. i dunno what the qualitie of them are like though but the iphone doesnt interest me
flatty hunter626 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 i recently got my viewty and after talking to a few pplz that own i phones and playing around with my mates one........i personly think the viewty is miles ahead!.
GregL Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I've been caught way to many times buying first generation product. Always the model to fix all the bugs out of..... I'll wait for gen 2 before I get one. Greg
inhlanzi Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I would love one. Been a Mac tragic since 84 BUT I've lost a few phones overboard ( You know the velcro on the fishing shirt or the zip in the trackie top!!!! ). Nothing like watching a few hundred dollar phone still ringing gliding to the depths!!! So the $59 nokia is what I'm on at the moment.. cheers inhlanzi
stylo Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I broke my Nokia N73 joystick snowboarding !!!!! &$)#@(&)$#( Looked at a few phones SE W910i, iPhone etc .. Luckilly we had a few Blackberry's lying around at work so I grabbed one & I am back in business .. The iphone is cool .. for about 2 minutes .. then you will get bored of it. It is big, it is heavy and they have tried to put too many functions into it. The download plans in Australia are expensive too .. Expensive brick.

I have been using an iphone for 2 weeks now and after all the fun of having a new phone and playing with the different options i will be going back to my N51. It is great for emails, games but it is pain to use as a day to day phone.
stylo Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Aw shit hoges, sorry to hear ... I mean .. those were my thoughts and I DON'T OWN an iPhone ! I did not expect an owner to actually agree with my view that it's not the most practical phone around .. I wish they'd just make 'more functional' phones. Colour Makes and receives calls SMS MMS Bluetooth sweetass ..
hoges1974 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Aw shit hoges, sorry to hear ... I mean .. those were my thoughts and I DON'T OWN an iPhone !

Colour Makes and receives calls SMS MMS Bluetooth sweetass .. All good didnt cost me a cent. My N51 (or E51 can't rememer) does most of the crap the i phone does it is half the size and a 1/4 the weight. I must admit i have never enjoyed sitting in the doctor surgery as much since i have had the iphone snooker and solitaire are awesome Chick will love the phone(and Johnno ) i can't get it off my misses she is always playing games on it Edited August 8, 2008 by hoges1974
daleyboy Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 People .. why are you all wasting money on flashy new phones????? THATS WHAT TACKLE STORES ARE FOR!!!
flatty hunter626 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 well not sure about everyone else but i use my viewty for everything now its my ipod, phone, camera and on most occasions computer in one small device. haha i spend MY money at tackle shops my parents pay for the plan and the phone is free with that:P cheers flatty hunter
Mik Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I used to be a phone nerd. Found myself wanting all the latest & greatest only to realise that a phone is a phone. I've had iMates (2 models) one was CDMA & that got scraped, other was a JasJam which I literaly threw in the bin 2 weeks after getting it (No, I didn't pay, telstra did) Sony Erricsons, nokias etc etc, man I've had some expensive little ear wigs, but those days are gone. As long as I can sync my outlook calendar so I get reminders of appointments on the phone & make phone calls I am now satisfied & content to no longer watse hours of my life looking at all the specs on various models. I have better things to do, like waste hours drooling over shinny fishing tackle. Here's a couple of youtube vids that you might like though. The first one is .....well ......why? These one's are funny. the funniest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZKjJt-TkU...feature=related One more for ya's
