I'm a hardcore Apple user and I'm first to admin that with under 30% marketshare, they really don't have a "hold" onanything, PC or Mobile.

That said, you are right about the OS. They do have a great GUI (though I can already put the same thing on any Windows Mobile phone). The biggest drawback with the iPhone is that they're tied to one carrier. Apple is leaving a lot on the table by only making their product available to about 27% of those already paying for cellphone service.

I have had the Blackberry 8800, The Q, The Razr, you name it. Two of the aforementioned used for work (email, push, etc).

iPhone is far and away the best phone I have ever had. The organization on it, so many well thought through components.

I have never once found myself needing flash. Also, as far as sending out pics, I never did that anyways. However, most of the people I know have email. I take a pic, I send it through email, to an email.

The only thing the iPhone does that hacks me off is the auto-spellcheck. You can't cut it off.

You need to look at the smartphone market. the iPhone isn't trying to compete with nokia's shit 'free' phones.

"Apple's iPhone continues to break records, shipping over a million units in 3 consecutive quarters. Even with Q2 shipments dropping in anticipation of the new 3G iPhone, Apple retained the second place spot for the first half of the year with Motorola a close third."

What? You are saying you can run the iPhone OS on windows mobile?

How does that work then?

whenever someone says "iphone killer" to me that means "hey, we'll just produce a knockoff instead of developing something new and unique that might capture the attention that the iphone did"

settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Enable Autocorrection : OFF

Feel free to buy me a beer in Amsterdam.

;)

I will be the British dude doing magic tricks.

:D

uh huh. And that's why IBM clones totally pwned the PC market and everyone has a computer at home today?

Of course people want a cheaper option with the same (if not better) functionality.

Apple is trendy right now which is why the iPhone is so popular. Not because its the best phone on the market

I was referring to overall cellphone marketshare, not smartphone and ATT's not Apple...with regards the phones. ATT has 27% (+/-) of all cell phone contracts in the US. That means that 73% aren't able to get the iPhone on their current plan. That is my point.

And no, I didn't say that I could run iPhone OS on Windows Mobile. I'm not retarded. :1orglaugh I said that you can skin your WinMo GUI to look and function almost exactly as the iPhone.

The video isn't the best, but here's an example and what is pretty much an outdated phone at this point:

Not in this case. The media keeps referring to it as the iPhone killer. Google (and the rest of the consortium) want you to see that it's more than just a phone.

I don't have that???

You have that?

-Auto-Capitalization
-Enable Cap locks
"." Shortcut
International keyboards

I am on 3G.

Oh I really laughed out loud then.

Cool, you use that and think you are getting an iphone UI experience.

I don't even have one yet. My contract isn't up till October. I read that solution, clearly it was old version of the OS.

Google showed me this though

http://www.hackthatphone.com/20/autocorrection.html

Which looks very simple.

i agree, but its just an OS just like Windows Mobile. Have you seen what can be done with windows mobile? look at the Touch Flo gui interface that sits on top of windows mobile. Googles man problem is not there OS its that they do not have a dedicated phone. All theses phones are nothing special just regular pda and smart phones, that would of ran Windows Mobile. They need "one" dedicated phone, that ggogle can customized to work best with there OS, not just a standard phone.

Apple is going to be tough to go against but so was Yahoo and they put a pretty big dent on them. But all Iphones come with youtube so why go against someone that is pushing your product. Oh well.

I personally hate the iphone but I may want to try this one.

yah

if its good i'll get one and keep the iphone too.

no one says you can only have one phone.

YAH wtf?

I have the same as you. I want to turn off that Ducking autocorrection. Get it.


That motherfucker doesn't like me cussing and changes all my FUCKING to DUCKING unless i catch it.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Holy shit. Ducking. Yes, that pisses me off to no extent. I love how it doesn't learn the word!!!

Maybe I am way out on this one, but I always believed that the reason the iPhone lacked Flash was to give Youtube a push. I figured they had a deal under the table for a year.

Who knows though...

I really doubt if anyone can beat the Iphone.

Auto correction sucks. I type in other languages sometimes and it is insanely hard. I bought an iphone for my mom and she is 67 and loves it. That is hard to do. The iPhone just has easy to use locked down.

Well just talking "text" wise... the iphone can't compete with the Blackberry for texting. And I do a lot of it... I'm a fast texter and the touch screen on the damn iphone makes me wanna break it... takes forever to catch up. The Blackberry on the other hand... keeps up! Shit... my Blackberry is like 4 models old now... the 8700... works like a gem!

Holy shit I just read this whole thread and I think the FDA or someone needs to check the paint on the apple products. They must contain some substance that can penetrate the skin and cause full on addiction and delusions of superiority.

Man you obviously haven't been paying much attention. Adwords sure, what about Adsense? And Gmail! Gmail is ridiculously cool. What about Google Code, or Analytics, or Trends even. Not to mention Google Maps, Earth, Satellite View, Road view.... Google Docs and Spreadsheets are both really cool projects.. How about http://books.google.com ? Google Talk is a nice tool too.

What has Microsoft given me in the last 5 years... A nice black keyboard? It's real nice but...

i have been doing some research and learned Android is no iphone killer.

nokia rules :)

how many "iphone killers" are there
