cheekymonkey Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm an Apple man through and through, but this iPhone business has left me cold so far, even though I'm due an upgrade. Anyone on here got/getting one today? The main thing I'm worried about is the stupid lack of basic features, like the apparent lack of picture messaging / copy/paste etc...

PJ Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm due an upgrade from the old iPhone to this one but I'm not bothering at the moment. Crap camera, no video capture, no picture messaging, crap bluetooth. Not much point upgrading from the old iPhone from what I can see the only change is that it's now 3G.

MarkR Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'll get one, but only because I've been lost without my old one since I sold it - 8gb for £150 not bad I want the 16GB in black but they've sold out so I'll wait. I'm annoyed at the lack of extra features offered but when I got the first iphone I didn't miss the camera on my Sony half as much as I now miss the ipod and internet on my old iphone... It'll be a lovely day when all phones use internet mail to send and receive messages and photos as it'll all be available online or on your phone then.

cheekymonkey Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'll get one, but only because I've been lost without my old one since I sold it - 8gb for £150 not bad How did you find texting? I fear the lack of tactile feedback on the keyboard is what will kill it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just went into the town centre in Basingstoke and went into the 02 shop. There was a queue of about 20 people outside (which I jumped ) all waiting for the new IPhone. I played around with it and couldn't really see much different other than the back. The camera seemed OK... not the best though. I can see the attraction for the GUI but that's about it TBH. Me and a mate were laughing at the people queuing up... it all seems so pointless.

Scoboblio Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 was massive queues outside carphone warhouse and o2 today. Assume its for iphone. I can't believe so many people would queue for it. Me too, there was a large queue outside my local o2 this morning. Look on the bright side, lots of people paying £££ for toys is a good sign for the economy.

supra_aero Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 they did drop back when that phone came out. Sharp is no competitor by any means, but was using that to illustrate the time period. Market share did fall back in this period. http://networks.silicon.com/mobile/0,39024665,39121323,00.htm http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ECZ/is_2004_May_19/ai_n6264768 Not that you are disputing Nokia's share price, but it has fallen as below as per my original post. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=NOA3.DE&t=1y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c= Please dont argue with me about finance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Not trying to be difficult here Dave, am always open for debate and argument. Just for me this seems fairly clear cut. Am happy for you to tell me otherwise, if I missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
