Thats the problem. Your own posts support the idea you have no knowledge about basic iPhone features. Anybody that has spent "39+" hours would know the things that you clearly do not. Therefore, its easy to assume that you didn't use an iPhone as extensively as you claimed, and you need to get some type of help for your problems. I have no idea what would prompt somebody to lie about using a device to promote their own opinions on a message board.

As always, I will give you the last word on the matter, as I grow bored of you again. I'm sure you will add something witty.

Until we know the numbers, I'm not so sure people are staying away from the iPhone. If 1 million units are sold by the end of september, I would say that is pretty good.

It is but I've seen it. It looks like the older BB, just cuter and smaller. Full QWERTY keyboards seem to equal business phones in most people's minds. In the meantime, Pearls are EVERYWHERE!

And only ONE iPhone at a festival with LOTS of people this past weekend. Tells me something.

I agree, I see alot of Pearls. I guess we will know in a few months if jobs was right.

I never see a windows mobile device (besides maybe a treo), though MS claims there have been millions sold.

Almost everyone here who has WM has Blackjacks, Qs and Dashes. I have seen the 8525 but not as many as the other 3. I have seen 8125s also. But it looks like the slim design of the WM Standard phones is appealing. I'd think people would prefer the full version of WM, but due to the design, many take the slimmer phones.

OT but I prefer not to ask in the anti-iPhone thread, but does iTunes now work well with Vista? I'm still looking into getting it.

I have Vista on my laptop (the machine I use to sync my iPhone with). I don't have any real problems with it, except every now and then I have to click on a link twice in the itunes music store.

I'm not a fan of Vista though.

Hardly anyone here recommended Vista wholeheartedly in the thread where I asked for opinions on whether to upgrade or not, even Windows users. :shake: It doesn't look good for Vista either, LOL! It's unpopular on CNET too. Is it going to be a flop or a success? maybe after a service pack, people will like it better.

it's funny. this thread is about the iPhone being a dud but it's actually quite refreshing compared to others.....

Again, despite your derailing of the topic, it comes down to the issue of one-handed use. Sorry, you can't get around the point that is is not easy to use the device one-handedly given the design and gesture-based interface.

I'm not saying this is right or wrong, just the way it is. You are hellbent on disproving, for whatever reason.

I like how my use of the iPhone, since it isn't a wonderfully perfect match to your use, is somehow "no knowledge of the device". Your response is about the same as covering your ears and sing "lalalalalalalalalala".

Actually, I think Vista is actually pretty darn good. The benefits outweigh any issues, as least for what I do. (Heavy email, office, web, VMs, media, etc.)

iTunes is a quirky beast on any platform (except Mac, of course). You'd think Apple would make it simpler instead of more complex, but noooooooooo.

But until something better comes along, it will still be on top.

Vista runs poorly on my laptop, the added security features is one big pain, and it just seems sluggish. I miss Windows XP. Doesn't really matter though, it will be on 90% of the worlds computers in a few years.
