looks can be deceiving. the word is out - and the iphone is an overpriced piece of garbage. people have been buying these things from individuals for up to a thousand dollars. it's not even worth its retail price.

QuoteApple sez between 300-400 charges the iPhone will lose battery capacity — you’ll send it in and get the cell replaced for a fee.

QuoteToday, with true 3G technologies delivering data at up to several hundred kbps, Apple's decision not to support AT&T's UMTS-HSDPA 3G network seems short-sighted--especially given the iPhone's investment in cool new Web browsing technology that doesn't suffer from the compromises of a mobile browser. In our limited hands-on tests a few months ago, downloading the New York Times' front page via EDGE took quite a few seconds.
and in asia, they've had better than the iPhone for years.

maybe in a few years when the technology catches up, but not now.
I'm moving to Japan after seeing that...
i am perfectly fine with my chocolate
wow we really need to use cell phones to get on the internet and listen to music and book flights because there's NO WAY i have time to get on my computer at home and do the same thing no i need my fucking cell phone

try telling that to someone that practically travels across the country for a living. they're more than just 'cell phones' in asia now, they're more like laptops, just more compact.
yeah but not everyone travels across the country for a living
I DO!
Cellphones are shit I barely use mine
at least I used to until my sister's fat bitch 'friend' stole it, along with her ipod and DS
you should beat her punk ass down.
Quote from: tayloryeah but not everyone travels across the country for a living
that's not my point
my point is
most people purchase cellphones for business purposes due to the fact they have jobs
this makes them busy
which makes it more convenient to be able to do more things with a handheld device than simply make calls
stop the presses
edt; A THOUSAND DOLLARS for one?!?!

yeah ebay and such
it's retail is 500 but some people just can't wait
When the I-Phone came out, i thought it was something that would rule the world. So i never got one (not like i have the money for one anyways) But by the looks of it, cell phones have already taken over Japan. O.o
And another thing, when the I-Phone comes out in japan, how are they going to buy stuff with it, its not like the one here can do that. Japan is so high tech these days. "

Quote from: taylorjapan is so fuckin gay these days
japan is overrated. theres a shitload of fat pasty wapanese people on the internet who are constantly speaking the language/style
im starting to hate japan for existing
That's a bit harsh. You can't hate a country because people think it's cool. Well you can, but I'm sure your opinion would surely be ignored because it's rather shallow, especially for just concerning the internet. Maybe you should hate English speaking countries for existing because a lot of Japanese people obsess over the English and our language :/
japan ruined cartoon network
Your argument I can live with because you think Japan itself and what it does is gay. Anigen's sounds like he hates it because lots of people like it, which is completely out of Japan's power. I don't think they set out with the intention of making foreigners love them y'know, they just did what they did, and lots of people like it.
well i hate it for producing anime i was kidding about what i said earlier
Sure.

Japan 'ruined' a lot of things. but i really blame the american industry for giving into merchandising the hell out of this stuff and destroying a lot of what was great about our animated entertainment culture. i mean, there's a way to blend international styles, but they went about it completely the wrong way. now we have stuff like Totally Spies and Ben 10.

Yeah and Code Lyoko. That show is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.
toonami more like shitstorm
The price is a bit staggering for me, but in the technology market prices tend to drop quickly and/or devices tend to improve a lot within a short window of time. Within a year I bet they'll have a cheaper version, maybe even a bare-essentials iPhone Nano in a matter of years. Personally I can't even afford it, nor do I need it, so I'm more than willing to wait for a cheaper version.
I'm also a bit put off with being tied in to a 2-year iPhone-specific contract with Cingular. I'm already on a Cingular plan but still they said I would have to buy into a new contract, one made specifically for the iPhone. If I'm going to buy one, then I'm waiting a couple years until they get a bit more lenient with the variety of their service plans.
Hey, I haven't been on in a while, time to get up to speed on this topic.
First of all, any time some new, major technology or something comes out, you're bound to find people saying it suck for whatever reason just to feel important because they're bashing something that's supposed to be incredible. But anyway, a mobile device that can access the internet, play music, and make phone calls isn't a brand new thing anyway. I can see us becoming how Japan is now, because of all of this technology that is integrating things into one device.

I have no reason to want an iPhone. I have a phone and and iPod.

I'm gonna have to go with Dagolith. What's wrong with Japan? I think Japan is cool. At the same time, I think France and America are cool countries too. I think New Zealand is cool! They're all neat places to go. I don't see how a COUNTRY can be gay.

She's right. America is big over there as well. They think wearing shirts with english stuff on it is cool. sound familiar? It's just an interest in culture. There are people that get a little too into it, but they probably just aren't satisfied with themselves.

in the early 80s, portable CD players were very expensive. the technology wasn't very good either. now you can get a good one for about 20 bucks. remember when DVDs first came out?

yeah but
this kind of technology is not cutting-edge in the least
they're only charging this much because they
can. they're apple, and only hip and cool people buy their ergonomic sexy products. therefore they can charge more money for something that's not even that great
there are handheld devices that far exceed the iPhone's capabalities. the iphone relies on outdated technology and has limited capabilities. it's a piece of crap, as if i haven't already mentioned that.
Quote from: rtilit's a piece of crap
jordan would probably say that you're saying that to because hIF YOU KNOW I DONT LIKE YOU, or you SUCK AT LIFE, GET THE HELL OFF MY MYSPACE PAGE!!!!

"jordan would probably say that you're saying that to because h"
hahaha, actually i don't know. I had no idea what you were saying, but i figured it was something dumb. I had to read it like four times because i got stuck at "you're saying that to because"
