ever use one?

I have, very easy to use.

 

its a great PHONE, its a pretty decent mp3 player too.

 

Oh and i browses the web nicely when on a wifi.

Yes I have.

 

You have to LOOK at the screen to do anything. That automatically makes it a crappy phone, not to mention the fact that it's huge.

Too incompetent to use? Getting out the big guns to defend apple are we? The way you are defending it, it sounds like I just insulted your mother.

 

For me a phone is 3 things:

 

Small

VERY Simple to use

Practical

 

The iPhone is none of those.

 

It may be thin, ill give it that, but it is still wider and longer than any phone I have owned (W810i currently).

Its not simple to use. Not when compared to any other phone. Where you simply "Dial"

Its impractical. Why would I always want my web browser, PDA and phone on me?

When all I need outside the house is my phone?? and in the house I have a PC.

 

You need to work on how you defend the product. I have merely given my opinion of the device, and you throw comments like I am incompetent at me.

 

What I am getting at is, what if I handed the phone to my grandmother to make a simple call? She would have no problem doing that with my W810i, with the iPhone, id be surprised if she even recognised it as a phone.

It just seems like the iPhone is trying to be too much. My personal opinion. So cut the incompetence comments. A phone should require less than a pulse to operate, not the viewing of hours of adverts or chapters of manuals.

 

"It may be thin, ill give it that, but it is still wider and longer than any phone I have owned (W810i currently). "

Have you owned a PDA-type phone? If not then that statement is pointless (not to mention the fact that now you're backtracking & admitting that the iPhone is thin)

 

you're not comparing apples to apples.

 

Comparing the iPhone to a regular phone (where you just dial) is ignorant. It needs to be compared to other PDA type phones

 

Its not simple to use. Not when compared to any other phone. Where you simply "Dial"

Why the hell would you compare a PDA phone to a phone you just "dial" :withstupid:

 

It's like comparing a Swiss army knife to just a single blade & saying.... I just want my knife to cut. Just because you don't have a need for the other features of the Swiss army knife, there are millions of other people who do.

 

 

Its impractical. Why would I always want my web browser, PDA and phone on me? When all I need outside the house is my phone?? and in the house I have a PC.

So it's impractical for YOU, and that makes it a poor device? How much sense does that make. Maybe if Apple designed the product just for you, the basic, simplistic user who just needs a "dial" phone, then yes, they failed & made a horribly impractical product. But are you the type of user they designed the iPhone for? Of course not :withstupid: x 2

 

 

oh & way to totally bypass on the fact that you didn't know how to zoom in on web pages to (like you're supposed to do)

 

 

 

And you brought up your grandma & using the iPhone. Do you think that the iPhone was designed with the basic, simplistic user in mind? OF COURSE NOT!

 

It was designed for people who need a multi-function device & who obviously don't mind dishing out $500 for such device. Now is that your basic user? No

 

:withstupid:

 

and it's funny because i don't even want an iPhone, but i realize that it's a good, well designed product.

2.5 by 4.5 inches. That is huge by any standard for a phone.

 

I don't text in class. I do use my phone from time to time when I'm doing something besides sitting down and I don't like having to look at my phone to do so.

 

It's a crappy phone and a decent multimedia device. It's not worth $600 plus another $60 a month for 2 years.

None of the phones you listed have an annoying touchscreen that's hard to use.

 

i wish i could change my argument whenever i wanted to get around the fact that i don't do my research

 

but here is a another touch screen phone (since the Palm 755p has a touchscreen, but since you seem to ignore the facts, i'm not surprised you missed that little tidbit)

 

AT&T 8125

http://reviews.cnet.com/smart-phones/at-t-...99.html?tag=sub

# Dimensions (W x D x H)

# 2.8 in x 0.9 in x 4.3 in

# Weight

# 5.3 oz

 

again, looks to be the same size as the iPhone :withstupid:

 

and i thought that the iPhone screen was surprisingly simple & accurate to use.

 

Please explain why you think that it's hard to use
