iPhone: I want one!

Onkel Neal · 01-15-07, 01:40 AM

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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:

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.
