Anyone intending to buy iPhone?
-
If anyone buy iPhone,please tell us here.I just wanna know how many people would actually buy that phone..cause its going crazy in America!
-
i buy two
-
too expensive
-
Im getting one!
-
see when come to SG wats the price
-
i plan to buy stolen ones
-
I confirmed, chopped stamp and guaranteed buying one when it is available in SG.
I'm on a Mac platform.. so the sync shouldn't be a issue but ATM, the iPhone is not combatible with Vista's 64bit OS. ok, not many things are combatible with that anyway.
-
next year right? have to wait so long.
-
You can buy from ebay, but high chances its expensive, and network locked, even if they tell you it isn't. Anyway, its good time for debugging till it reaches here.
-
See if I have the money or not
The European set is 3g ? If it is I would choose the Euro set over the USA set. -
Wait for the set to come to SG la.. heck, u will even get the Singtel logo sui sui in the iPhone oso.
-
I am now in the States and I actually planned to buy it.
But the network is locked and there have been reports that some people spoiled their iPhone when they inserted a different SIM card.
Then there is no way we can use the network in Spore because the wireless data transfer is not supported yet. Thus the Google Map cannot be used in spore.
Anyway the only way to buy now is to sign a 2 yr contract with AT & T and if u sign the contract and then break it. U must pay US$164 for terminating the contract prematurely. Even if I carry on with the contract, the calls I make in spore will be international calls....
Too expensive sia...
Thus I did not buy it.

All the telcos will likely get the set as opposed to oni one carrier in the States ba. *crossed toes* -
Think so ba.. Apple must be fair to the mainstream..Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:I jus stated one of the telcos nia. ;P

But I am guessing the telco who offer higher will get the deal
Which in turn means we are going to be broke ..

A short review of the iphone from howardforums.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190824
Here's the short list:
1. Bluetooth is ONLY good for connecting a headset. That's it.
2. There is no file browser on the device at all. Data must be organized (if at all) in the appropriate application.
3. The camera is a simple application that has ONE button: the shutter. Pictures come out okay on the device, but nothing too fancy on a monitor, especially if it was an attempt at a macro shot.
4. SIM card is damn near impossible to open, if at all. I didn't look into it extensively.
5. Web browser is slow, even over WLAN. Even the simple OneList web app that was created takes around 20 seconds to load over WLAN. You can not highlight, cut, copy, or paste and text from a website, and you can not save any images you find from a website either. The only nice thing about it is the tabbed browsing, which crashed on me when I went to Engadget and YouTube on two tabs. This is the only application that allows you to use the keyboard in landscape mode.
6. The keyboard sucks. It gets slightly better after the iPhone "learns" you, as the employees said, but even then, it's not a device you can use with one hand comfortably, much less without looking.
7. You can only send one picture at a time in an email.
8. No custom ringtones (yet, as we were being told) and the alert tones can not be changed whatsoever.
9. The default ringtones are incredibly lame.
10. The only form of customization outside of a lame default ringtone is the wallpaper, which you'll only see when you need to unlock the device or when you get a phone call.
11. "Picture pinching" or using two fingers to zoom on any content is certainly fun to play with, but not practical whatsoever. This operation depends solely on using the device with two hands.
12. No document editor or native viewer. You can not store documents on the device to be viewed, they can only be viewed as attachments when they're sent to your in an email.
13. Visual voicemail is laggy and reacts about the same way as pushing the fast forward and rewind buttons on traditional voicemail systems. The only advantage is for those that get that many voicemail messages a day that they need to sort them according to priority.
14. NO games. None.
15. No voice dialing.
16. No speed dialing (which can be made up by the "quick list", but getting to that quick list isn't as fast as holding a single key on a real keypad).
17. No video.
18. No MMS.
19. It's still <4GB for $500 and <8GB for $600
20. It only takes around 2 hours to explore every menu without any options for expandability except to scrounge around for new web apps that will load slowly and nowhere near as smoothly as the native apps.
This device looks like it was aimed at the general consumer who has the money to spend on such a flashy device, but it leaves so many basic features behind that it's almost impossible to consider it a success as a mainstream device. It encourages the advanced user to move away from MMS and into email to send images, but leaves out any advanced features advanced users would be accustomed to, and still retains a huge price tag on top of it.
It's certainly pretty and Americans will buy it because of that simple UI, but anyone who's familiar with other operating systems would be appalled. This phone needs to be unlocked and cracked WIDE open to make much better use of the multi-touch system. That, or it needs an immediate update in iTunes to rework every feature. -
how much ar?
-
I think its gonna be a big fingerprint magnet and not something i wanna press against my oily face.
-
Just a beauty piece.
I'll stick to the PDA anytime. -
Alot of ppl are forgetting that this is the first phone from Apple. Something that's they have not done before. They are bound to be negative and postive reviews aplenty since this is their first foray in handphones.
Esp critical since it is from Apple where it's products are lauded for it's simplicity and good functions with great aesthetics thrown in. Heck, iPods din even have many frills compared to other mp3 players but it remains as the number one desired item when it comes to a portable mp3 player.
iPhone looked poised to set itself first and foremost as a phone and a music player with a down-sized browser.
With what the iPhone can offers now.. it looked good enuff. They will get better after the revisions. -
True true... which means to say I'd probably pass on this 1st gen iPhone and wait for later versions, that is if i can forgot clamshells! I LOVE CLAMSHELLS!

no money. -
