Iphone 3g banter (sorry our Northern friends) - Page 2

ND4SPD · 08-20-2008, 08:38 AM

Yeah, sending it is way easier. It's the receiving portion that is archaic. And you pay for it if someone sends it to you whether you check it or not, no?

Heavy-Dee · 08-20-2008, 08:53 AM

On my way to get an iPhone today. I've been denied a few times now, so we'll see how it goes.

SheepOfBlue · 08-20-2008, 11:01 AM

If you are going to a apple store they have a status online. I refuse to stand in line for a phone so will wait (maybe forever)

Heavy-Dee · 08-20-2008, 12:39 PM

Got it. Pretty neat so far....

Great review. Mind if we pull it over into MCADXMag? Doesn't look like it even needs editing...

so what's with all the issues with people getting them to operate fully on a 3G network? Working behind the scenes in wireless, some of the stories I have read and paged through, the reasons for fault just don't add up to me.

So to those who have one, an informal pole, any issues with 3G, dropped calls while in 3G and connection issues?

I did not keep mine long enough to make a fair comparison. But I still think I got better reception on my Razor than either the Iphone or the Blackberry.

I had two RAZR's and the two of them put together didn't get as good reception as my iPhone does.

They have a great clock on them (easier to use than windoz) but the translator still just winds up with now and not now

Okay I've had it a few days now and I've decided this:

Every other cell phone up until now, has been TOTALLY klugee. This is how the should have been from the beginning.

Wait 'til you go buy a Mac, you'll really be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner.

I'm there. I'm just waiting for the right time to spend the funds. I'm actually eyeing an iMac for my home machine right now.

ND4SPD · 08-22-2008, 09:58 AM

Wait a few weeks, there is a rumor of a price cut coming in September. Now, would this be an appropriate time to say "I told you so many months ago"?

That is totally lame.

Friends and family use MMS all the time.

Friggin' Apple always seems to dick up details like this. Amazes me.
