Well I'm doing well for myself and earned every bit of it.

Kudos to you AppleLA!

For putting up with the direct attacks on you and your (right to your own) opinions. It's very telling when Apple lovers fall into the gutter, take it personally, and go on the attack.......

Nice Work AppleLA, it's refreshing to hear from an intelligent adult. Someone that knows how to think for themselves.

Wish I could say that. My iPhone experience has been very mixed.

And I'm writing this from my new MacBook Pro, my 6th Apple laptop. I'm on my 4th new iPod, love em all.

Based on my long time Apple experience I'm standing ready to plunk down the cash for the next version. Hurry Apple, you can do much better that this, you always do after a few tries.

It is funny how folks try to compare the iPhone to a BlackBerry. That is like comparing an Apple to an Orange. I own both an 8700c Blackberry and an 8Gb iPhone. Each function well at what they were intended to do

Just my 2Cents

I agree with you, they are two different devices within one group (mobile smart phones).

I read it more as an observation, not a comparison. It seemed to be a comment on what was important to the OP and what device provides that feature.

My iPhone is definitely an Apple entertainment device.
My BlackBerry is a professional communications device.
My Samsung A717 is a Fast 3G, ultra thin & light flip phone.
My MacBook Pro is certainly an Apple computer.

And they all have their purpose.....

The email program is absolutely awful. Checking only 15mins...not being able to select multiple emails for delete...on top of that, having to then go into the Trash folder and AGAIN, delete one by one...no copy and paste...etc.

I dont think i am being picky. These are functions that PDA's have had for YEARS!!! Its like Apple decided to take a step backwards with the email program.

Additionally, the battery life sucks. Why its not removable is just stupid. Another way for Apple to make more money off us. $80 for a replacement once a year. Forget that!

The keyboard...not even going to get into it. If you have an iPhone, you know my frustrations. In todays world, we email and text in cyber-slang. Almost every email i have written, it has changed the word i meant for it to be, to something completely different.

I havent been waiting 5 months for this device...i have been waiting over 5 years, since the Newton, for Apple to come back out with a handheld.

Wasted time.

you work for MS?
