Countdown to Iphone india begins!!!!

[goobimama]

Though you never know. This could very well be a publicity stunt by rediff. Apple hasn't given any official word on the iPhone release in India. And considering that the word came first from Apple about the release of the iPhone in the rest of the countries... one can only doubt...

And the SE 960i is not an iPhone killer. Far from it.

so much for me buying that thing . . i am replacing my 750 with 960 unless this ones price comes down

And the SE 960i is not an iPhone killer. Far from it.

Though its interface isn't like iPhone's, but it has certainly got lots of more features which have been missed by iPhone.

@desi....

without vinamratha crap.....piss off.....

u dunno abt iphone no right for open ur mouth against it...
how the hell does a single phone becomes a threat to entire mobile industry that all are pissed abt..

 

[desiibond]

^^ reported abuse.

FYI, by posting such rude words, it's only you that will lose value. Just look at this thread. 90%+ says that iphone is not worth the price. And everyone agree that w960i is a better phone overall.

So, think twice before you post.

FYI, I have used the iphone for full week to test it out top to bottom and also tested W960i (not for a week but for couple of hours). My question is, did you even touch W960i and I am pretty sure that you don't even have iphone. It's just the craze that is making you believe that it's the best phone.

Yeah. And likewise. There are some awesome features on the iPhone that are totally non existent on whatever else put together. Just looking at the negative isn't going to get you anywhere.

Exactly. Interface isn't everything for a phone. For a 28k phone, if you do not have a choice but to use crappy Vodafone network, have to buy ringtones, can set only one ringtone, can't record video, have to use itunes to copy music, no voice recording, no voice dialing, no flash, no zoom, can't replace battery on your own, display covered by glass means you have to treat it like a 2 month old baby. how much worth is it.

Even take N95. It totally justifies it's price. It has everything you can dream of.

For music enthusiasts, W960i has everything that they need along with loads of extras and hundres of third party apps. You buy it and you use the network that you want.

buying locked iphone means however annoying the network is, you have to use that one for 2 long years.

 

[m-jeri]

plus....the firmware 2.0 is rumored to unlock various new features missing earlier...

some even went far and say tht 3g is there......

 

[goobimama]

You can use any network (I am)
You can create your own ringtones.
You can set separate ringtones for separate people.
You can record video (third party app and possibly future apple app)
iTunes totally rocks!

 

[m-jeri]

yeas...

 

[desiibond]

Please stop talking about jail breaked iphones. People expect support when they buy product worth 20k-28k

all that you mentioned is by hacking it and that void's warranty

and yes. itunes rocks your computer.

you know how slow iTunes 7 has become. a real resource hogger.

for other phones, plug in the phone, open the memory from my computer and copy content. It's that simple.

 

[m-jeri]

Only when u have the full power of a device u appreciate the device...


prime example would be psp....or maybe ps2....

 

[desiibond]

^^ Exactly. and we get the full power of N95/W960 with full support from the company.

with more features than iphone and with lot of freedom of adding applications.


Forget about iphone's UI. What else does it have?

 

[goobimama]

Here's what iTunes does for you.

I'm on my way home and fire up an episode of Prison Break on the iPhone. I reach halfway through the episode when I find that we have reached home already. So I dock the iPhone in, and when I play the episode from my mac, it resumes playback from the same place. And after I complete watching the episode, it automatically deletes the episode from my iPhone and loads a new one if available. That is what iTunes does.

I realise though that iTunes for windows is a little laggy, I hope Apple does something about that. Turning off Coverflow does help a lot.

As for jailbroken iPhones, I'm sure you have heard that iPhone V2 is going to be out in June, way before September. So people will definitely be able to use all the apps legally and not void warranty. Of course, jailbreaking and restoring the iPhone is a breeze.

 

[desiibond]

iphone V2??

Talk about existing phone.

I would say "NOkia concept phone gonna come in near future".

 

[goobimama]

Oh it's not one of those concept phone thingies. It's a definite june release. We are after all talking about a phone that is going to be released in September. Who knows what features it has then.

 

[desiibond]

how many people in India buys movies/music/tv shows on iTMS?

If I am in US, I would agree that iphone is a good competitor due to the itunes ecosystem.

But the same is useless here. On the other hand, you will use each and every feature of N95/W960i in India or in any part of world.

I don't want my phone locked when I move to a state where I don't have Vodafone.

Here is what I can do without itunes

Go to a store,

buy a CD

rip it on any desktop nearby, be it a internet surfing station or your friend's house, copy the songs to the phone.

FYI, you can do the ripping with winamp/wmp or loads of tools in linux/unix.
