Well, I was planning on getting the iPhone for my birthday, but I heard the 3G, iPhone 2.0 is coming out very VERY soon.

What are the advantages of 3G? Why should I get it in favor of 2G? Will I notice a substantial difference?

Apple products suck. They rip you off at every opportunity they get. I would suggest staying away, even though they are what "all the kids are doing" these days.

1) I need a new phone

2) I need a bigger iPod

3) I want mobile internets

4) I've tried my friend's iPhone...I love it.

This thread isn't for criticisms about the iPhone. I'm getting it, and what you guys say isn't going to change it. If you're not going to help, please don't respond to it at all.

3G is faster, basically. When you're browsing the web over 3G for instance, it'll be much faster than the current shitty 2.5G or whatever the iPhone uses.

Wi-Fi?

Poseidon - At the minute the iPhone uses GPRS and Wi-Fi and it really isn't that bad! I'm not sure about 3g. Also (thanks to Zimmer for this) - iPhone 2.0 is an update in firmwire. Also, there is an application that can let you do MMSs so don't let anyone tell you otherwise - they are just trying to find every fault with the iPhone because they are anti-Apple for whatever reason. (and honestly...probably not even because they don't like Apple)

I recommend you crack your iPhone Well worth it!

Cracking your iPhone removes your waranty, which you kinda need.

I heard the new iPhone (not 2.0, that's a firmware upgrade) is going to have MMS and 3.xG, two major things that the current one lacks.

The iPhone uses GPRS and Edge as mobile internet protocols. Edge isn't available everywhere and wi-fi coverage is even less widely available. Edge runs slow, about 256kbps - 3G over UTMS runs at between 5 and 10mbps. It's a substantial improvement that virtually all modern phones include. It is a mystery why Apple haven't included 3G support for the iPhone which would allow things like iPlayer to work on the move.

The iPhone is shockingly badly designed in many really simple areas. However there are other, traditionally far more complicated and difficult to get right, areas that the iPhone excels in. But it is hard to overlook the few simple and glaring design flaws (no Java, no flash, no 3G, shit camera etc.) which, coupled with the absurd pricing, make the iPhone a bit of a gay faddish gadget.

The new iPhone will either have 3G or 3.1G ( the new 3G, like DX10.1, but I don't know when that is out ).

I think that may be the only real improvement on it.

Don't get the current one, it's a rip off for what it is ( as Bertster kindly pointed out ). Wait for the new one.

agreed.

Internet with EDGE/GPRS just sucks.

And if they add MMS, Java and Flash, which I think they will, it'll be a great phone.

1) The new iPhone will reportedly have a better camera

2) iPhone 2.0 Firmware upgrade will apparentely include Java/Flash

3) It'll have 3g.

Absurd pricing? Hardly. To get a 16 gb MP3 player, it'd cost me probably 200. A new phone with internet and wi-fi capabilities would cost me 300.

So having it all bundled in one just makes it all the better.

Wouldn't be difficult, since the current one is shit.

It's totally absurd pricing. The N95 is just as good a phone. Better in every aspect technically. That's free. Though I hear your mobile deals in the US aren't as good - in the UK we get virtually any phone we want for free, the iPhone is pretty much the only exception.

Big quote is big

I've seen the camera on the iPhone...it's really not that bad man. I thought the pics were pretty decent. Then again, I don't have that much experience in the camera field...but to the untrained eye, it looks good to me.

And about the price - the iPhone 16gb is 500. The N95 is...well, fucktons expensive. The iPhone also has a bigger screen, a full keyboard compared to the N95's number pad, and many other features which I find very, very useful.

You can just restore your phone if you "hacked" it. Now way for apple to tell.

Amazingly, my 2 MP camera on my iPhone takes amazing pictures.

Java and Flash will NOT come with the 2.0G release, since Jobs doesn't like it. However, these companies are working on plugins to allow it on the iphone.

A mass amount of 3rd party apps are already out for those who jailbroke their phones. For those unwilling to do this, the 2.0 firmware guarantees great apps... Super Monkey Ball, Spore... And the already popular apps out their, as well as interesting one's.

Actually the iPhone has a REALLY GOOD camera, fuck, its not a Cannon Rebel, or even a cybershot... but if it was it would be pretty damn big

For them to cram mp3, web browsing, etc on the phone itself, and then put a camera in there, thats pretty damn good, is pretty damn amazing

I wouldnt want Java on my phone, because of the crap that comes with Java, I would like Flash but its un-reasonable to try to download flash with EDGE


I would rather have my iPhone than my piece of shit Razr, and id rather have an iPhone than a Verizon Voyager, one, its cheaper, two its an ipod with a GOOD camera.



People, like the Original poster said, this isnt for trashing iPhones... so iPhone haters, GTFO.

LMFAO.

We'll be #1 in broadband speeds and pricing before we get most any phone (like the N95) for free.
