Happily Returning iPhone & Getting Blackberry Back...

[iJohn]

Of which country are you President of? Who's emailing you that it can't wait 14 mins? I'm seriously interested...

Not to mention that you can check it manually as well every minute between 10:00 and 10:14

Okay you win. It's a piece of sh*t. Take it back and stop crying.

You are missing the point. Its not that I cant wait 15 mins for my email, its that Apple decided to put a limit on it and not give their users the option.

Whether I need my email checked every minute or every hour, is irrelevant. You have to take into account what your competitors are doing and when most other phones give their users the freedom to either set a check time or are automatically checking every 5 mins, it makes Apple look archaic.

Guys, we're all forgetting that Palm and RIM just released their first phone, 3 days ago, and got it perfect the first time. Why couldn't Apple?

That's ok. When we all get free firmware updates to our phones, and you're using the same BB with a new face on it, we won't think twice about you.

The battery life is a lot less than they claim it is, and I haven't even played music on mine yet. The only way you could ever get the battery life they claim is if you turned the brightness nearly all the way down and only used the phone to make calls, never getting online or using it as an ipod.

to each his own. not everyone will love the iPhone, everyone has different needs.

honestly...the iPhone as a "phone" actually really sucks. good thing i dont make alot of calls.

stop hating on the guy, he's just frustrated with its lack of features...which are many.

i will be keeping mine though as the advantages out weigh the disadvantages.

All of this stuff will probably be addressed in future updates, nobody said the iPhone would do everything that everyone demanded and wanted on the day of release. Besides, you can just forward all of your e-mail to the Yahoo push account in the meanwhile.

He'll be back when iPhone 2.0 comes out. LOL

The keyboard's actually not bad. I can type very quickly now. You just have to learn how to use it. It's actually kind of a rush.

Yyou still have the blackberry, right? Just keep the iPhone until they fix/hack the things you hate about it.

Yeah, the first few hours the keyboard was getting frustrating, but now its a completely a non-issue. I can type just as fast if not faster with the iphone then my previous blackberry...

[TrippalHealicks]

I think the phone is awesome, myself. I don't understand ppl's complaints about it. All i hear is "the phone is weak" and no one ever says why they think that way....

Same here, once I got used to it I find typing just as easy if not easier than the Blackberry.

Ahh - I totally agree! Everytime my phone vibrates with a txt message or email I get excited to go back and reply! I love the keyboard and after really only using it a few days have gotten very fast with it. Two thumbing it all the way!
