god is this thread still going!?!?!

if u like iphones buy one, if you dont, then dont, who really cares?

if you don't "get" this thread don't read it. It's about people who are brainwashed by the iphone geekery, apple's marketing spiel, and the evolution of a phone's function than the actual devices themselves.

It seems to be about you proving beyond reasonable doubt that you a complete f***ing idiot.

Hilarious thread. Iphone is a fashion accessory as much as anything, They look nice and Apple have a top notch marketing plan with Apps and all the rest of it. It doesn't do anything special that the million and one other smartphones out there can't do.
Way I see it you've got a few choices, either succumb to the spiel and fashion and buy one, or don't and buy a nokia/htc/blackberry/other generic smartphone, or if your not bothered about emails/gps/mp3 player and all the other 'toys' on these phones then stick with a trusty old Nokia or the like and stick with ring or texting people.

I'll stick with my blackberry if its alright with you guys?

largely 'cos you can only talk to the person who's got the other can rather than dial anyone you want on it.

one thing i can't get my head around is the cost
a 3g ipod touch 8gb costs £140
a 3g iphone 8gb costs £360
im not sure how adding a gsm radio and gps adds another £220 to the cost of an ipod touch

Can you dial anyone you want on your phone? Or just other people who have phones similar to yours? How many Kalahari Bushmen can you talk to?

Point is, that adding functionality almost inevitably reduces battery life. Your phone has a long life because it doesn't do much.

So what is a phone is defined by who you want to talk to? Interesting....

bonj, you quite categorically cannot phone anyone you want. You have to have the phone number of the person you want to speak to first. Or has that salient fact slipped by you, like most of the other ones you keep ignoring. I want to phone Tony Blair and tell him he's a lying ****, but I can't, 'cos I don't have a number.

But the fact that it always wakes me up even when off, means it does the job of an alarm clock just as well as a stand alone one.

Stand alone alarm clock won't work if you switch it off either 😆

Alright then, tell me who I want to phone that I "quite categorically" (sic) can't.

You can phone anyone you want [i]who has got a valid phone number[/i], pedantic.

yes but either its battery lasts many months, or it's plug-in. there's no danger of it running out in the middle of the night, like there is with an iphone, that's the point

Right, zee, with the iCan, if you know the location of your mate in the kalahari, then you juzt move the receiving can to hiz crib. Thatz kinda like knowing zomeone'z number. If you don't know the number, itz like not knowing where he livez.

iPhone fail - I just tried to ring someone with one and they didn't answer. Shocking, I'm taking it back for a full refund 🙂

Probably because in an independently minded fashion, he or she didn't buy an iPhone.
