iPhone: I want one!
 
Man, these look so cool! iPhone

Check out all the stuff it can do.

But I want to wait for the version that comes with good voice recognition, I don't like poking all the keys for e-mail, web addresses, and texting. ;)

You don't want an IPhone. You want a whatchamacallit. :roll:

Anyhoo.... my husband and I want mobile phones that make phone calls. You all remember what phone calls were, dontcha? :hmm:

The company I work for will fire you if you bring a cell phone to work.

Seems most people have more to talk about than the need for a paycheck..."funny ol world aint it"

I'm of the same thinking.

Don't have any, don't want any.
As far as IPhone, $500 a pop then whatever your monthly bill would be for all the do-dads! Nope, no way.

Respenus 01-15-07 10:36 AM

I want one too! :D

If it's only 500$, it would still be cheaper then when my Motorola E1000 came out! I cost a small fortune!

I want a Video iPod, this want I get everything! An excellent marketing trick if I ever saw one!

You can have that peice of junk. It's an Ipod! Do you want an Ipod? Stuck using Apple's formats only that are sub par to other compression formats? If it's the icons you like, put them on another phone - http://www.smh.com.au/news/mobiles--...709656280.html

Here is a good site for those in the know about the shortcomings of Ipod:

Happy and proud to say that I have never bought an I-Pod. One of my relatives has owned 4 or 5 because each one has gone kaput. :down:

My husband keeps on buying MP3 players for our kids because they typically break down after about a year but we've never spent more that about US$80 for 1MB players from Samsung and similar.

1MB? You have very small songs in Israel :huh:

I just got a Samsung X830 phone when my old Ericsson gave up the ghost, to be honest I chose it for the MP3 player and the phone/text bit came second.

Mom, u can buy one of those 512M from some esoteric company for about 170 shekels today.

TteFAboB 01-15-07 03:28 PM

I got my cell phone for free. And received 50% off a second one. Fine, it's the ordinary Motorola V3. But it's good enough. 5 years from now I'll get another phone for free or at least with a big discount, whatever is today's super-expensive-multi-gadget-design-by-Q-thingie is tomorrow's ordinary cheap-o.

XabbaRus 01-15-07 03:58 PM

I'm in Avon Lady's camp. Personally I can live without it, I think there is such an over reliance on them.

_Seth_ 01-15-07 04:40 PM

Well, im happy with the old Enigma machine..So you people can have your text messages and that sort of stuff... BTW: Here in Norway we still use smoke signals to get the children in for dinner..:rotfl:

Polak 01-15-07 05:04 PM

I am basically sick of cell phones, I dont need an mp3 player, video, radio, mms built in in my phone. I would like to see a robust cell phone with good battery power.

bookworm_020 01-15-07 05:32 PM

I've had a ipod nano for over a year now, and have had no problem. I think were the ipone will win is in its easy of use and the ability to sync with your computer with little trouble.

I noyiced that it isn't running on 3G, that will most likely happen with the next generation. As the iphone won't make it to Australia till 2008 at the earliest, it means all the bugs will be worked out and 3G will be in the phone.

I might look at it when my nokia gets near the end of it's life.

snowsub 01-15-07 06:29 PM

I've got a Sony-Ericsson Walkman mobile and it plays mp3's fine, but the major thing is battery life, how long will the I-phone play music until it's battery goes flat :hmm:

The Avon Lady 06-05-07 02:31 AM

I must confess, it's impressive! :yep:

Tronics 06-05-07 02:41 AM

and AT&T provides the service?


My god it's full of lesser phone companies.

AT&T only needs to consume about four more companies to re-create the deamon that was MA BELL.

kiwi_2005 06-05-07 03:59 AM

Well i never bothered to own a phone till i got the internet :rotfl:Put it this way if you didn't need a phone connection to run the internet i would have no phone, just the net. Even now their are those gadgets that look like mini LCD screens on a stand plug it into your pc and your got video chat as long as the other person has the same gadget you can communicate. Now thats what i want!
