"Hah...FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?! Fully subsidized?! With a plan?!"

[Elbacanazo920]

Zune Phone? What's a Zune?

[psylichon]

Well, I'm not digging the square corners, but the edge-to-edge screen is the direction I hope Apple goes with the next redesign of the iPhone.

[fury]

I think that'd be a design flaw, actually. I find my thumb and fingers hanging over the edge a bit while I'm holding it, which would be touching the touchscreen if it were edge to edge

[Elbacanazo920]

It's nice, but it'll take a lot to move me away from apple. Maybe if it came with a free shirt and hat. (NAAAA)

[Cusca]

nothing can top the iphone yet

Well, I'm not digging the square corners, but the edge-to-edge screen is the direction I hope Apple goes with the next redesign of the iPhone.

Ah, really? I'd like a bigger screen, but when I use a 3G, I actually like the space between the edges and the screen. I think it makes the screen a lot easier to look at as a whole.

[psylichon]

Ok, you're right. A little space on the top/bottom (sides in landscape) is good. But it could be half the size it is now and I'd be happy.

as with all things microsoft, it looks good in theory...

Wow.

If they weren't using a Mac, that Microsoft cover thing wouldn't even be there. :p

[aenti]

Not to be "that guy," but I really want to see what they come up with. I really like Microsoft's $15/month music subscription plan, and on a phone, that would rock.

Zune phone???? ewwwwwwwww.
Nothing will ever beat the iphone.

I agree, and disagree with that, at the same time. :wink:

The only thing that would ever beat the iphone is a hammer.

[freakydeaky dutch bastard]

Hmmm, reminds me of a new game: Rock, Paper, iPhone... I like it! It even works conceptually if you think about it.

I think the (Zune) phone is totally hot. I would have never bought a Zune but I might check this out if it comes to market....Mark

Kind of like the large iPhone store demos running on XP computers. Or the Windows CE handhelds that Apple stores use.

Just use what's best for the job.

-The only bad thing about it is that its PINK!:tounge:

But back on topic its always nice to have some competition but Microsoft always seems to have the product look good in the pictures/internet articles/ pre-release events and stuff but when they finally come out their ya kno. . .buggy:tounge:
-But none the less it does rival the iPhone in design
