iPhone - to buy or not to buy

08-20-2007, 05:57 PM

So, I'm strongly considering buying an iPhone ( even though I hate Apple ). I spent about an hour at the AT&T store today comparing it to other PDAs. Can I hear from those who own one or bought a competitor phone instead?

BTW, how come those iPhones go for the same (if not bigger) price on there than in the actual store? Is there a difference in buying it on eBay or the AT&T store?

If you can afford to buy the new iphone when it comes out then I say go for it. Otherwise I would hold off for now.

You can now get refurbished ones from the Apple store online cheaper. I got one the 2nd day they were out and love it. The edge network may be slower than 3g but it's a phone and I don't expect speed like I get from my cable line at home.

Where do you get a refurbished one? How do you navigate to it at the Apple Store?

I have a friend who works in development with iPhone and he said to HOLD OFF until the 2G version comes out around the holidays. I agree - it's a cool phone and I would love to have one for "developmental reasons" as well - but I'll be waiting.

I know someone who has one that broke within like 48 hours of use - might have been the 1:1,000,000 that did, but I try not to buy "the first" of anything until those bugs are worked out.

The EDGE network is around 200kbps. It does have Wifi, so put that in perspective. The iphone is $20 per month for unlimited internet as opposed to $30 on a Blackberry or $40 on a Treo/Blackjack.

Depends on what you want to use it for. I like it for browsing the web. Don't like texting on it. E-mail performance is kinda "meh." I've probably used more pda-style phones than everyone on this board, but I don't believe there is a single perfect device for everyone.

Does it still keep that Cingular/ATT warranty of the first year?

I haven't had any problems with mine, and I love it. It's pretty amazing. I don't imagine the 2g will be too much different, but if it is, I'll upgrade when that comes out.
You should know that Cingular/Att won't offer insurance on it.
Oh, and I've heard from women with long nails that it's really hard to SMS on, because their nails get in the way of the touch screen (they don't make adequate contact).

There are a few things that are fucked up like not being able to have email alerts, sync up your calendar with Y! or video record. But those are the features that I can live without for the technologies that are offered in the phone.

I have compared it to many other phones like Blackberry and Treo. Those "frontrunners" are absolute crap. Yes, they have a better technology but the UI is so retarded that it's not worth it.

I just ordered mine refurbished at the Apple Store for $399.

Buy it at an apple store or an AT&T store. The phone is not backordered so there is no need to use eBay unless you do not want to pay the tax. There is only one version of the phone. The ones on eBay are the same one you can get at the store.

oops - my bad, i forgot there was a 4GB one too. 8GB one will hold more songs etc.

It is the best phone I have ever had. Its the best ipod I have ever had. I could go on and on.

I would buy from Apple or ATT. I don't play the refurbished game on things like this.
