The pic will never be redundant. That was how Apple released version one of it's iPhone... and the pic will always be relevant to that version.

Sorry, but I have the first iphone and can officially make use of he new features except the MMS but this can be enabled by other means easily.... it is redundant.

Flip-phone keitai FTW!

( I just had to say something like that, typical MyBB meme, '"Something rather doff or very niche" FTW!' )

I only see negative comments there regarding customer satisfaction... enough so that their users are actually starting their own sites...

.. and no, I have never bought an Apple product because I prefer to spend my money on something less expensive with more features that will last me longer and be more upgradeable. :)

That would explain why your perception doesn't match my reality. :)

Like what?

It's not like you can upgrade a pre-2006 motherboard. Graphics cards no longer use AGP and NetBurst is dead now.

Me too... that's why I use Linux and a PC, but you fail to see that the iPhone is not all about hype and sheep... I owned this phone for more than a year and now I'm awaiting my free update that will rejuvenate my experience with the year old phone.

No other phone has this sort of longevity, it is the best value phone I have ever bought, before I had to fork out for the 'newer', 'better' model Nokia, Sony E, etc. to keep up with the times.

With the iPhone it is just plug it into iTunes, update to get a whole new experience with whole new features and a store with developers competing.

That is quality that all other companies fail at, even Microsoft's Appstore ripoff will be a drm nightmare.
And my iPhone looks like I bought it yesterday, that is how good it is built... but you have never owned an Apple so I don't expect you to understand.

Re:How can you say that? Apple are simply amazing.

Hi,

Yes, Apple are simply amazing. Because Apple is apple no one comparison with this.

Reasons,

- Super Size, color screen, good amount of memory, pc connectivity, great click wheel.
When this first came out I was shocked to see such an amazing product although it was fairly expensive i really wanted it.

It had everything i loooked for in an mp3 player but the one thing missing is the money i have that is one reason i wrote this review

to be honest i love the ipod nano and it is the number one item on my list but i just cant afford one

im currently tryin to get one for free through this website that requires completion of offers and referrals

this opinion is to show how much i love the nano and to refer others to take advantage of this chance to get a nano for free.



Thanks,

Parkar
 
I am not an Apple fan but I think they got it right in Version 3.0 so yes, I would say they are Marketing genius.

Hell, any company that makes their phone do most of the things you could do with a 2006 model Nokia is genius :p
 
apple is all branding......release an iphone with actual buttons (prefferably a qwerty keyboard) and I'll reconsider. And a symbian OS will also be an upgrade

iPhone OS3 supports accessories that means you can plug a keyboard in, it just needs do be built, a gamepad was in the works and will become available for example.

This is no ordinary 'phone'...
