Was misinformed!! I too have a good phone as I have a Viewty so I really can't understand why I'm hankering after the iphone!!!

FYI I really wanted to be persuaded one way or another and seeing as a lot of people on this forum know much more about the iphone 3G than I do, I thought this would be a good place to start

get an iPod touch instead then you get the funtionality of a proper phone from your viewty and the music/video/internet functionality of the iPhone minus the phone features?

And have a look at the Apps store on Itunes - then you'll realise how fantastic this machine is. (*subliminal message GetOneGetOneGetOneGetOne......*) |

My iPhone has all the phone functionality I need, I can make calls, I can receive calls. Suits me fine.

In the bigger picture the three things everyone anti-iPhone complains about (no mms, no bluetooth transfer, no camera) are really a small price to pay for everything you gain. |

The biggest problem I have with the iPhone is the absence of a radio. I used to have a separate portable radio but now I'm so used to using my phone that I don't think I could go back to that.

Its good phone BUT it is way too expensive for what it is.
Some annoyances: - Can't change themes - Can't transfer Word documents - Can't turn off Automatic Word change in SMS - Battery Life Good Stuff: - Touch interface - Safari Browser - Hot swap sim - Can be hacked easily There are some more which I can't remember right now. |

Battery life could be better but for the type of device (3G, large touch screen) it's not actually as bad as a lot of people try and tell you. |

I too am also thinking of getting an IPhone 3G this month, worth getting one now or holding off to a new model? (if there is one?)

I can touch type pretty fast (50 wpm) using both thumbs. But then some people struggle with the iPhone keyboard. So I guess it depends....
