its just cool..IT MAKES ME HAPPY
Hey Brad,Hey Vanq
Just so that you are self aware--You are as annoying with your hate of Apple as their fanboys.
Hey Brad,
That was a serious question, and you are just as annoying as i am when you make responses to me in stupid forms...
That was a serious question, what is 1 thing that phone can do that the cingular 8525 can not do.
Keep in mind you can purchase an 8gb sd card for the 8525 for a 100 dollars, and getting cheaper everyday.
The only thing u got right on that was backing by Apple...Interface, visual voicemail, backing by apple (who has fantastic customer service), touch screen, multi-input, full browser support
shall i go on?
Either way - Apple, Inc. is looking extremely unimaginative!
I sad SDVanq, sorry, but they don't make an 8GB microSD card.
The more I think about this - the more I think this phone will bomb.

It varies. The 8525 uses microSD, my MDA uses miniSD, and my Treo 700wx uses SD.I sad SD

I guess i thought it took sd cards...
Like my voq(eww)
You have it don't you?
Im planning on grabbing it as soon as my current phone hits 1 year old, this summer.
Gonna be awesome, none this 900 dollar iphone Cr**
Also, look at the sidekick II and SideKick III, that is an expensive phone, yet a billion people have it! which makes it unspecial, i know only 1 person with the 8125, and nobody with the 8525, so getting that phone would be unique.As soon as a few celebrities start being seen with these, that won't be an issue.
I don't agree. I think it's innovative, and it's got that "Apple magic" - taking the simplest things and making them work smoothly. As muzikool asked, have you seen the video demos?
Van its funny you say this, but you waste your money all the time on other stuff lol....
Yeah... I never waste my money on Anything Apple, i truly believe they have faulty business practices and overcharge.
I love Sony?Oh man, you've got to work harder, seeing how much you love Sony
According to MarketWatch.com, financial analysts and legal experts are expecting Apple's iPhone trademark dispute with Cisco to be resolved quickly, citing claims from Cisco that a deal was close before the lawsuit was filed.
"We expect an amicable resolution," Prudential Securities analyst Inder Singh wrote in a note to clients Thursday. "The most likely outcome, in our opinion, is for Cisco to be a net recipient of financial payment from Apple for use of the name."
Apple "has until May to sort this out and then ramp up marketing, so there is time," said Gene Munster, an Apple analyst with Piper Jaffray.
Brian Banner, an intellectual property attorney for Rothwell Figg expects both companies to be able to use the iPhone mark, using corporate branding as one method of sufficiently differentiating the devices.
"Cisco could easily use the iPhone mark accompanied by its logo, and Apple could add the Apple logo"
A New York Times article reveals some information about Apple's iPhone and the possibility of 3rd party applications.
The article quotes Steve Jobs about why Apple does not want to allow any 3rd party developer make applications for the iPhone:
“We define everything that is on the phone. You don’t want your phone to be like a PC. The last thing you want is to have loaded three apps on your phone and then you go to make a call and it doesn’t work anymore. These are more like iPods than they are like computers.”
While saying this, Jobs does reveal that there will likely be additional applications that can be bought later and installed, but that this will be in a "controlled environment". Apple adopts a similar approach with iPod game development -- only allowing specific products to be developed and released.
Jobs has a way of making people believe everything he says.it's got that "Apple magic" - taking the simplest things and making them work smoothly.
why?
Whats so special about it?

Everything else the 8525 has, oh yeah, and it has a keyboard, oops.

Im gonna refrain from this conversation.

While I don't disagree with the fact that the iPhone does a number of things very well, I felt like I had a number of concerns with the true usability of the phone after watching the keynote. I already mentioned one of them earlier in the thread - relying solely on a touchscreen is impressive when you only see a quick demo, but did you notice how Jobs was using his index finger to push the tiny on-screen keys while holding the device with his other hand almost throughout the demo? How often do people need to use their phones while driving, carrying grocery bags in the other hand, hanging on to the metal bar inside a bus, etc? I see it happening all the time. One-handed operation is a crucial thing to consider, and the fact is, even the most precise touchscreens with tiny keys are terrible at that.
