iphones

[tragic]

I don't understand why anyone would queue up for a phone (a PHONE, people!), a video game, a pub or a book. It just baffles me. There's plenty for everyone. There'll be plenty left when the frenzy is over. It's not like they're tickets to the rugby.

Some people obviously have lots of spare time.

spotted Lote on ABC news queuing up for an iphone at 12 in Sydney last night - not sure if the other wallabies were with him.

Ex-Wallaby, if you don't mind!!!!!

[blueandblack]

I see the phones have been unlocked by hackers already.

apparently so was Daniel Kerr (or stingray boy as i call him now) from West Coke. I don't see the big deal about the iphone, I have the new nokia N95 8gb and it has all the same features. Is it just a techno nerd thing??

yeah so did I moses, but jono hit the nail on the head, i already have an ipod and like i stated my phone has all the features of the iphone, not to mention a 5 megapixal camera.

yeah, which takes videos.
most phones have expandable memories now anyway, so you can use them as a music player anyway.
i'll probably buy an iphone in a year or two after the phone i am getting craps out on me.
by that time i would say my ipod will have died or be on its last legs. and there will be sufficient upgrades to the current iphone to make it worth my while.
like, a video camera, and more memory for music/movies/photos.
but at the moment. there are better phones out there.


i do think being able to play virtual pool on your phone is pretty cool though.

i just read an interesting article that said the price of the iphone halved after only a few months on the market in the US

techno nerd = anyone who lines up for hours to get an iphone

Nah mate, you're wrong there. the Techno nerd is definately the N95 user, I saw them and my geek gene twinged something fierce.

The apple strategy in every instance is to wrap their product in cool looking packaging and sell it as the latest cool device. Apple rarely sell ANYTHING cutting edge, simply because they want the product to be foolproof upon release. That helps them to sell it to teenagers and technophobes who want it because it's coll looking, not high performance.

NB the N95 is part of the standard package for Reuters Journalists, along with some accessories it's used for field reports etc........you won't see an iPhone on that list, that's what makes the N95 the nerd accessory.

[GIGS20]

We define techno nerds differently, I define them as those who are actually knowledge-able about technology, I know a few and they would never go for such non-compatible fashion orientated products. But these are the types who build computers from scratch like someone would do up a car.

Jeez they're not case modders are they?

I hate those guys, why spend $800 on cosmetic upgrades which don't make your system any more powerful! I'd rather spend the dough on getting my Winstone numbers up!

Most people tend to think what they have is the best. Smartphone, iPhone, PPC phone, blackberry. I wouldn't spend the money on the iPhone or the N95. It's funny how we have an iPod or other music player, a camcorder, a digital camera, a laptop and we want a phone that has all those features too. My phone for the last few months is a Motorola Q9h.

[Flamethrower]

I just want a phone that makes phone calls and works.
