Squizy Posted July 11, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caranx Posted July 11, 2008 Share 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.

BuckWild Posted July 12, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inhlanzi Posted August 8, 2008 Share 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 $59 nokia is what I'm on at the moment.. cheers inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I broke my Nokia N73 joystick snowboarding !!!!! &$)#@(&)$#( 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylo Posted August 8, 2008 Share 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 .. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted August 9, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
