Appreciate the iPhone, people

[Kerti]

I agree, the iPhone is the best phone I have ever used. I love it. Not only is it alot of fun, but it's great for my work e-mails, especially now that there is Gmail push.

No matter what though, there will ALWAYS be people who complain about any cell phone. To me though, the iPhone is perfect. I have no complaints and would not switch to any other cell phone.

Another asshole. If it's just "good" why the hell did u buy it? There's a lot of "good" phones out there. Did I say it doesn't need to be improved? NO. Of course there's room for improvement. I'm talking about idiots like YOU who ***** and moan about little things the phone lacks and want to change it completely. Get another phone if you don't like the way it looks.

The iPhone is good. Great? Not so much. I love it, but I am capable enough to realize that it has shortcomings.

Kids deserve unconditional love. Technology doesn't. Learn the difference.

Uh, no. You said people shouldn't criticize it at all. You make it seem like its infallible, like the friggin pope

The stock iphone is "good". Seeing as how you view the iphone, I am guessing you are using a stock one and would think that jailbreaking it is blasphemy.

Well, the stock iphone is just "good." It has tons of limitations. I bought one because it is the best phone out there, once jailbroken.

I will say this, the actual iphone is the best phone out there (capability wise). I will agree to that. I think where alot of the criticism comes from, including myself, is the limitations Apple and ATT have put on it.

An example: I want a today screen. From what you have said then, I should buy a blackberry or a WinMO device or just appreciate my useless lockscreen. Why? It is entirely possible (I have a wonderful one on my JB phone). This is why criticism is needed, in order to prod apple to make the next firmware update or next iphone that much better. Your point of view will never lead to better products.

Please remember, its just a phone.

I'll never understand. I'll go out on a limb and say the iPhone is THE best cell phone I've ever used, plus it's the best PDA I've ever used. And I've been using cell phones since before the Moto Star Tac came to fruition.

I think the kool-aid comment was more aimed at the "it's perfect" comment.

The iPhone is great, no doubt, but there's never not room for improvement.

I know that. The iPhone has been improved physically three times since its debut, and how many OS upgrades?

I'd be hard pressed for the thread starter to find a smart phone that is as easy to use, fun to use, and has the available online and store and corporate support, and application support, as the iPhone.

Cuz I know it is not coming from Microsoft or Samsung or Motorola or Nokia or Dell or anyone else.

How many apps has Microsoft or Nokia sold on their phones? Is it as easy to put movies and tv shows and music and pictures on as well? Is it as easy to set up the calender and Exchange support? I don't think so.

Oh noezz! I'm gonna be labled a fanboy by some 15 year old still living in the basement! Wait, it'll happen.

Let me start by saying that my first computer that I ever bought with MY money was an Apple //c. I learned computing on the Apple //. I've been around, and I am not a bandwagon type person.

I calls it likes I sees it.

I believe this is the first time I have seen someone reply to them self.

[DaPeeps]

Just want to say that NO phone is worth calling someone an asshole.

Just my 2 cents...

I can't customize the ringtone/alert sound. My Moto RZR could do that.

Sorry, not perfect.

iPhone 3GS running 3.1 since the 25th is the greatest phone out! The iPhone is finally complete, any wish list made now will just be add ons or a sought for innovation, we are currently where cellphones haven't gone before. Perfect? Close to it! In comparison to the standard that a typical cellphone/smartphone would have. Room for growth and innovation? Sure! There is always room for inovation and new technology. So now, all we expect are enhancements to what's currently great! It will be great to get some of the functionality seen in JB phones but to me those are just customizations that don't take away from the iPhones core functionality. Long and short of it is the iPhones the best phone out there, developers, 3rd party accessories makers, users, other phone companies and you all know it!
