Honestly, why would anyone want to buy an iPhone?

1. The interface is better on an iPod/iPhone (subjective)
2. Any music from the iTunes Music Store cannot be played on a 6700. (Objective)
3. Some people just want one. What's wrong with that?
 
lol more like ipwned. There?s no memory-card slot, no chat program, no voice dialing. You can?t install new programs from anyone but Apple; other companies can create only iPhone-tailored mini-programs on the Web. The browser can?t handle Java or Flash, which deprives you of millions of Web videos. it can?t capture video. And you can?t send picture messages (called MMS) to other cellphones.Apple says that the battery starts to lose capacity after 300 or 400 charges. Then there?s the small matter of typing.Of course the ultra high speed of EDGE makes up for everything, after all, taking 45 seconds to load up Google.com is extremely fast. 2 year contract with the shittiest customer satisfaction out of verizon, sprint, tmobile, to get an unsubdized phone for $600. Wait so theres a cool Apple logo located in the back?

WHERE DO I LINE UP TO BUY ONE!?!?

I was unaware phones ? of the price could hold over 1 or 2 gigs of music.

I have a treo700wx and a 30 gig ipod. iphone would combine having two devices (for the most part)

I have a 30 gig ipod and wanted to upgrade to an 80...or I could sell my treo get the iphone and kill two birds with one stone.
 
1. You're right, it is subjective. I don't particularly care for it.
2. I don't use ANY apple products (aside from my six year old ipod), including iTunes, so I don't care that itunes is supported.
3. It's your money, I don't care, I'm simply refuting your bullshit reasoning.
 
Go read my posts. I'm not getting one, I don't like it? but to say there's nothing good about it is a rather naive view to take. So where's my "bullshit reasoning"?

iTunes is the third largest music retailer in the US, so that speaks volumes about how many people have phones than cannot play content from it. iTMS exists to sell iPods, and now iPhones. Irrespective of if the iPhone is good for you or I, millions of people will find it to be the perfect solution to the "I don't want to carry my iPod -and- a phone" problem.

good thing I never watch videos on my phone, let alone take videos...or send picture messages. and I use veryfew after market programs
 
I don't think that buying the only smartphone that'll play content from the biggest online music retailer really counts as idiocy. The iTMS compatibility alone is worth it for many people.
 
I agree with the first few, but the lack of developer kits is retarded in my opinion. To make everything web based and not give it a high-speed mobile data capability is very shortsighted at best, and I'd lean more towards "asinine" to describe that.
 
Ah.

I think the people who are touting it as the best thing ever are as foolish as those who say it's worthless. Then again, there will always be people who hate anything with an Apple logo, just as there will be those who blindly swear allegiance to Apple. Both viewpoints are disturbed.

wow. I've been misinformed then. the only research I've even done on this is what OT has said. fuck that if the largest capacity for mp3s is 8 gigs
