The iphone is more fiction than reality

[minivini]

Just another sad person with an axe to grind. It's a cell phone, not life saving surgery. Go out and buy some perspective...

I'm sure lots of people here will suddenly decide that they never wanted the iPhone in the first place, having now read this.

What will the iphone not do:

Yawn.

Thanks for reminding us how much the iPhone sucks. Do you travel to other dedicated forums for various products and tell their users how much their favorite toys sucks too, or are we just lucky?

Hopefully he has that huge text file saved and just pastes it everywhere he goes. Can you imagine how much time was wasted by typing that pathetic tirade?

Complete lunacy

It seems very funny and ironic to me that someone would waste their own time writing a lengthy diatribe about a product that they don't own and don't intend to buy. It seems that a better use of your time would be to NOT buy the iPhone and then move on with your life, focusing your valuable time pursuing those things that you do like. Why bother writing this lengthy post about all of your issues with a product you don't own? What a waste.

I know... it's mind boggling. Here we have people that don't even own the device yet they take time out of their busy schedules to come here and tell us how much the iPhone sucks. LOL

Here I sit playing with my iPhone thinking "Damn this thing is COOL!". I'm so glad this guy took the time to come remind me I'm really not happy with my phone.

How many times are people going to talk about all these things that the iphone is missing which are going to be fixed with the first wave of updates? I have heard this over and over again, " no cut and paste, no file browser, blah blah blah..." All these simple things can be fixed and will be very soon. As for not being able to move in between text, the thread starter should learn how to use the iphone first because you can scroll through text and you dont need arrows for it.

I noticed that the people who complain the most about missing features on the iphone are those who know the least about Apple, the iphone and anything else that is Mac. These people should go back to having windows smart phones so that their phones could freeze on them and they could do hard resets and lose all of their data twice a week. But atleast they'll have cut and paste! Lol.

Everything Steve Jobs hyped during the Macworld keynote is what I have today with the iPhone. It's even better than I had imagined. Multitouch, Coverflow, the best iPod out there, Mail, Safari, Maps. There's nothing else like it.

As far as any faults, I am very impressed at just how minor the problems are for a brand new device. There's only one way to go and that is up. Apple will fix the problems and add features. Threads like this will become a joke we can look back on and laugh about.

This device is way ahead of anyone else with most features and the overall experience.

To the last 7 posters (except joe): argue the point and not the person. If you can't, just leave this thread alone. Flames are not permitted. Thanks. I'll leave this thread open in case of further debate on the OP.
