[spirez]

Stop being such a mincer

 

[Inodaz]

awesome phone cant wait! good idea having an ipod and phone in one!

 

[Tom]

Sadly although the internet and phone apps MAY work in the uk, the rest of the phone wont.
It uses some pretty odd authorizing software that needs to be placed before base stations.

Unless this stuff is added in to a particular network *tmobile cough mvno cough* then dont expect full functionality out of the box (in the uk, assuming you could buy them sim free- which you cant and wont ever be able too do.)

 

[C.slicker]

Can you buy them Sim free in China do you think?

Going out there on the 27/07/07.

I would be straight down to the shop to get one when they come out if it had a 5mp camera. But ive had a phone for over a year that has a 2mp camera so by then it will nearly be 2 years since 2mp cameras started on phones and all the cheap ones will have them. Everything else about it is amazing though.

No. China isn't getting them for AGES.. Way after the UK I think.

 

[Griff]

2 megapixel camera.. We gone back to 2003 all of a sudden?

 

[Tom]

TBH its all you need.

The iphone will never be a "sim free" product. It needs network ties to function.

All you "need" is a Clio 1.2 but most of us buy something else.

 

[Tom]

True.

 

[MrMark]

thats a good way to put it. You want the looks, but would like something extra as well.

Griff's on the ball tonight!

lol not at all mate but owning a K800i with what I consider an absolutely excellent camera built in I'd never "go back" to a 2 mexapixel camera and I'm a bit baffled why Apple didn't go with something else.

That aside it does look a nice bit of kit.

 

[MrMark]

The N95 has similar functions to the I-Phone plus an exelent 5mp camera.

i will probably get one, but i will wait a couple of months after uk release to see what they are like to live with.

I can see that display getting a few scratches pretty soon.

 

[Tom]

Here's one for daz! Where was i today?

 

[James.]

Ever tried texting or emailing on a touch screen like that? pmsl...good luck.

Apple store?

No, nobody has.

Don't really get the PMSL/good luck bit (unless you are an apple developer or have access to a delorean) With the exception of the Prada which we all know is s**t. this is the first of its type, and the prada's ui isnt even that advanced.

Previous touch screen phones have been stylus based, never had any problems with those.

Well done griff! pretty easy really.

 

[MrMark]

i think it will be great, hopefully an onscreen qwerty keyboard in landscape mode

 

[Griff]

Well done griff! pretty easy really.

Google helped

 

[Daz]

Genius * gave it away
But good work Griff

Indeed, p800, p900 etc nightmare without the keypad, incredibly slow and clumsy.

I like the Iphone, think its a great all in one deivce with a pritty gui. Just cant see it working well with everyday phone useage...you cant beat a good keypad for texting/emailing.

 

[wozzaa]

Think I will keep my XDA. No mms, no 3G, no keyboard its pretty but its just lacking behind other PDA type phones I personally think.

Can tell its designed for the American market primarily as its out of date here compared with most other current phones.

 

[Munson]

It looks nice, but frankly I'll stick with my UberSmall Sammy calcualtor phone. It's the size of a credit card and slips in my pocket. Also I can talk to people on it

 

[Lagerlout]

Typical Apple affair - Looks nice. But doesn't seem to actually do anything spectacular.

:S P800, P900, P910 commonly regarded as the best series of smart phones ever made??
UIQ 2.0/2.1 was NOT slow, incredibly ahead of its time!!

 

[jon_r]

Ill wait for the 2nd Gen.

 

[Aberclio182]

find all these phones totally pointless, all i do is text and speak on my phone, can never be assed with all this other s**t.

I have my ipod for music and my camera for taking pictures.

LOL that is coming from someone who has never used OSX properly

If you had you would see it is FAR better than Windoze

Who said anything about the actuall phone :S I had both I was refering to texting process using the touch screen....you know...in context with my other posts.

 

[Daz]

I just wish it did Wireless Sync to an OSX Server for Mail, Contacts and Calendar.
It looks like Mail is OK with Push IMAP, Contacts only sync with Address Book and Yahoo! and Calendar appears to only sync via iTunes.

If it synced wirelessly, with my own server, whilst I was out and about, it'd be a perfect device.
Let's hope some revisions come. Windows Mobile 5/6 does this if you run your own Exchange server, so this should too.. but again, Apple don't tend to aim for this sort of market

Just a bizzare comparison, the handwriting recognition was second to none.
On screen tap keyboard was pretty crap but then you never use it!
If your using your finger on a stylus based device then there's something wrong with you.

agree to disagree :star:
