Ugh. My brother got it and we've had nothing but problems with it.

Sure it has some great features, but everything is so hard for a non-techie like him to use... I had to set everything up for him.

I, yes I, just got an iPhone and I'm very happy with it. I migrated to AT&T / iPhone just yesterday from Verizon Wireless and a Treo 700W (Windows Mobile smartphone). I am a little pissed that I can't synch my contacts or email because the iPhone isn't compatible with any 64-bit Windows OS. Therefore, I'm forced to synch it via my mac instead of my shiny new Vista 64-bit PC which I currently use as my primary machine.

Thats why apple sucks. Isn't compatible with jack sh**. The iphone was way too buggy to buy right away. It's always good to wait for the bugs to be worked out before you buy a new hot shot product :P

>Anyone got a new iPhone yet?
Too expensive for me, and I don't think the service is even available up in Canada anyway. I like the look of it, but I can't really say much until I actually try it.

>the iPhone isn't compatible with any 64-bit Windows OS
I wonder if it was just time constraints that kept Apple from writing 64 bit drivers, or if there are major technical issues that might take another generation of iPhone to fix.

>Thats why apple sucks. Isn't compatible with jack sh**.
Remind me of that when I'm about to buy a Zune.

>The iphone was way too buggy to buy right away.
Citation(s?) needed.

Haha . Actually, now that I think about it, you could probably get the iPhone working on a 64 bit OS by using a virtual machine...

>besides MACs cuz they SUCK.
Using that logic, I could argue that the iPhone doesn't support all versions of Windows because Windows "sucks".

Hm.. no, that logic doesn't really work. Microsoft makes an mp3 that is only compatible with Microsoft products. Apple, on the other hand, makes an mp3 that is compatible with both apple products, and microsoft products. Hmm..

But just before you said:Thats why apple sucks. Isn't compatible with jack sh**. Make up your mind, because you're contradicting yourself.

haha.. there is a difference. Not being compatible with apple doesn't mean much. You and a few others are the only people who use MACs :p

However, not being compatible with microsoft is like suicide. Good luck selling any product that doesn't work with microsoft..

You were essentially saying that Apple isn't compatible with anything. That's actually quite untrue, given the fact that the iPod supports Windows completely, and the iPhone supports 32 bit Windows. And how do you know that it wasn't simply time constraints that kept Apple from writing 64 bit drivers? It seems like they're doing their best to make their product as compatible as possible.However, not being compatible with microsoft is like suicide. Good luck selling any product that doesn't work with microsoft..
Apple did it several times. And they survived.

Apple only survives, because without them microsoft would be broken up as a result of anti-trust legislation.

Is this thread about the iPhone? It's turning into a big Apple Vs. Microsoftt battle again.
Make a new thread for your anger at either side. Leave this thread just for whining about the iPhone being obsolete, because most have a phone and a MP3 player of some sort already, why spend that much more to get another machine that is just going to get scratched and end up as a museum piece as a 'useless failure' a couple of years later. Either that, or everyone on the planet will buy one.

Yep.It's turning into a big Apple Vs. Microsoftt battle again. Make a new thread for your anger at either side. Leave this thread just for whining about the iPhone being obsolete, Whining without reason isn't much better.because most have a phone and a MP3 player of some sort already, why spend that much more to get another machine that is just going to get scratched and end up as a museum piece as a 'useless failure' a couple of years later. Either that, or everyone on the planet will buy one.
If you really don't like the combination of devices, how come you're complaining now? The iPhone's idea isn't anything new, there are many higer-end cellphones that have similar functionality. The iPhone is just Apple's remake of it, and it seems like it's becoming an easy outlet for those arguments.

I don't understand why people can't have their own opinions, without arguing and explaining why every time.

Have you ever seen a flame war? They tend to be extremely negative opinions about something without any reasons given to justify the reasoning. I'm always open to other opinions, but please justify them. Simply saying "the iPhone SUCKS" isn't enough. If you were to give some specific reasons (such as Dani when she complained about the iPhone lacking 64 bit Windows support), it adds quality to the thread. Get the idea?
