i-Phone is only useable if you think uasable means a couple of features that YOU use actually work.

File transfer and manipulation, spreadsheets, PDFs etc. Nope.

Cant copy and paste either.

The touch technology is 10 yrs old and WAY out of date, not intended for a portable either, wrong technology. They bought out a touch technology company on the verge of bankruptcy in order to offer some form of touch to keep up with everyone else, but failed miserably.

Camera is as good as one of this keychain digital cameras you get for $7.

Stylus use is a no go, not accurate, doesnt read taps accurately, oh yeah WRONG touch technology again.

Apple was years behind the pack on this one, their normal marketing and hype got the trend started and the sheep flowed in, just like the i-pod junkies. Now there are people who have never even SEEN a real mobile enterprise device that are all of a sudden mobile device gurus, without a clue of course.

I think the best term for fans of latecomer Apple devices would be i-Sheep, baaaaaaa.

iPhones are toys for little boys who want to look grown up in school, or they fit the same trendy wannabes who think i-Pods and i-Tunes actually sound good. i-Sheep again.

They are for children, not to be used as business class devices, they lack too much that is needed in the business environment to even begin begin worthy of such purpose.

@ Martin: Is that a Flash logo on the iphone? Where’d you get the picture? AFAIK, Flash is still unreleased on the iphone. I’m kind of curious as to where that picture comes from because it looks official.

Seriously…where did you get that? I want flash.

Wow, are you telling me the Motarola Razr was the most popular phone in the US? That phones actually worst the the iPhone, anything from Samsung or Nokia beats that phone.

That said i’d probably still rather go for a RAZR than an iphone, but much happier with my Nokia N82, it may be one ugly MF, but it’s got some cool features, like built in GPS, one of the best camera phones on the market, and a great battery life.

@ 9:
You show me a decent laptop that costs less than $400 (which is the most anyone in their right mind should pay for an iPhone). I’d rather have my iPhone than any $400 laptop. Can you control your computer remotely, download compatible videos and music off of rapidshare, tether your cellphone connection to your laptop, or download and play a plethera of great games anytime, anywhere you have signal on your N series or Blackberry? I don’t think so(not all of them at least). And even with it’s lack of flash, the iPhone is a better internet browsing experience than anything symbian or windows mobile have to offer.

The only features missing on the iPhone are flash(for the camera and browser), cut&paste, MMS, Push data notification and turn by turn gps. These are a few things anyone could live without considering the many other features they will have at their fingertips.

Even if you just considered the app store, as an all in one device, the iPhone is truly an amazing product already. Just think of what it will be like in 5 years…..

Nothing to do with functionality. Just shows how adults in the US are impressionable sheep. All about the ‘ram it down your throat’ super aggressive Apple marketing. Most adults wont use half the features on it.

what is it about the iphone anyways

Hey the key word here is USABILITY…anyone ever using more than a few smartphones, be it blackberry, windows mobile or symbian…will tell you once they’ve used an iphone for more than a few days that it leaves all the other ones in the dust.

If you prefer Symbian…good for you – they will be cheap as chips…as they are now obsolete.

Like apple or not (I think they will end up being another microsoft borg monolith – no thats not good) but they HAVE moved the whole personal device thing to the next level. LIke it or not. The market has changed.

Will the dinosaurs make it?

as an early adopter and experienced smart phone user i have to say that i never regretted buying my iphone. and if i were to choose a mobile handset now, more than one year after my initial purchase, i would still buy the iphone again.

Iphone is simply a Mac in a phone.
And it costs more than a good laptop. And laptop is much more useful than iphone.
Iphone is really an overpriced POS. You pay for the name, not for the product. Get a Symbian powered mobile (like one from Nokia N Series). It at least supports java applications and costs less. Symbian is most popular OS on mobile, not Iphone OS.

The I-Phone is an over-priced and over-hyped piece of crap.
