Countdown to Iphone india begins!!!!

[m-jeri]

well...u wrong buddy...full power means not in tht way....u buy n95 or n96....u but showroom or grey its pretty much it.. thats it....

iphone has unlimited app suport to it....now dont same java or symbian....

plus the thing iphone was released was for convergence and its executed lovely...

biggest glitch is battery and ass camera.....its sucks like a vaccum cleaner......

different ppl... different views....

some make ppl follow...some follow ppl....

 

[goobimama]

Who said I buy any TV show? You can rip a TV show off a DVD and put it on the iPhone. Not a big thing. Just right click and hit "Convert for iPhone". (yes. Video has to be converted before loading).

I have been actively using all of the features of the iPhone. Even the stocks, weather, and whatnot. Everything works just the way it is supposed to.

(Oh! BSE is up 149 points!)

 

[skeletor]

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.

I'm not looking at the negative side of iPhone. I accept that its interface is better than W960i but if we look at the overall features of W960i and iPhone, W960i wins.

It has Bluetooth but should that be even called 'Bluetooth'. It can just link with Bluetooth headsets. Real bluetooth is sharing file to every Bluetooth enabled mobile regardless of manufacturer or any other bluetooth enabled device like a Printer. So, if i want to share a picture in my iPhone with my friend having some other Bluetooth enabled mobile, then what should I do?? I don't have the easiest and the shortest way of sharing.

Then the next thing is that it is overpriced. I would have been extremely happy buying an iPhone and satisfied with its featuresif it is priced at what it deserves. Then there I would not have been having any complaints against it. But there are mobiles available that provide better features than iPhone at a lesser price. Thats my main complaint against it.

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.

Right now, it's the first gen iphone that is available. Talk about this and please no rumours about 2nd gen. If there is any v2's spec list officially given by apple, please share the links. Eager to see that.

FYI,

If iphone is set a price of 15k and made available without carrier exclusivity in India, I am ready to get it coz it's not at all worth more than that and yes it stands in line with other phones in the same price range.

 

[m-jeri]

convergence at its best......iphone...the rest can imitate or follow...

 

[goobimama]

True that. Bluetooth in it's current state is pretty useless on the iPhone. Some form of file transfer is required. I don't think they will allow music and video to be transferred, but at least some other stuff. Maybe they might get bluetooth video gaming or something...

And no sir. Interface is everything. Have you seen the email on this thing? It's smoking!

forgot to mention this. Yes.

And moreover ,you can't use any headset with the iphone due to the position of the jack. Very clever.

FYI.....


its not second iphone......v2 means just the firmware....not an entire new set...so still on curent model...this is the power i told u abt

p.s. though my colleagues in states said there is a rumor of another entire new design iphone....maybe with 3 or 5 mp cam or dual cam..ie. 3g

They have a huge banner there for the iPhone V2 roadmap. There was an Apple event about the SDK. Free podcast download at iTunes (700MB odd). Watch it.

Email that can't sync with Exchange. hehe smoking. Interface is only 20% of the phone.

 

[m-jeri]

ooh yea..bluetooth is a mess in this...cant think why they ovelooked a factor like tht

email has no pblm with me...collective experience maybe...

 

[goobimama]

3G doesn't mean dual cam. 3G is just the network speed. Whether they have another cam for video conferencing is a different matter. (I could be wrong though)

 

[The Conqueror]

Good News!

 

[goobimama]

Email sync with Exchange server coming in June. So yeah.

Cool. Now, I increase the worthy price for this phone to 16k (coz all that happens is to the firmware and everything else would be the same)

Seriously, even with the new firmware, it still lags behing N95/W960 and even P1i is lot better.

How long have you used the iPhone, mr. Desibond?

 

[skeletor]

3G doesn't mean dual cam. 3G is just the network speed. Whether they have another cam for video conferencing is a different matter. (I could be wrong though)

Yeah..now the Camera

How good is iPhone's camera when compared with phones from SE and Nokia???

Without even AutoFocus and Flash....This sucks.....

3G doesn't mean dual cam. 3G is just the network speed. Whether they have another cam for video conferencing is a different matter. (I could be wrong though)

When we use the word 3G, this means 3rd generation. It is a group of technologies.

Its better to use the word UMTS. This is for the network speed. Also, Dual cameras are necessary for a 3G phone as Video calling is a 3G technology.

 

[desiibond]

3G doesn't mean dual cam. 3G is just the network speed. Whether they have another cam for video conferencing is a different matter. (I could be wrong though)

yes. 3G increases the bandwidth for data, which in turns makes way for video chat etc. with EDGE, it's almost impossible to do video chat.

What I think is, iphone is totally US centric. Let's see how many people will buy iphone when it's officially available in India. Even now, when unlocked iphone is widely avialable, being in Bangalore, I saw some4-5 iphones around.

with a bigger price tag (should be atleast 5k-6k more), it won't be a hit in India.

It works well in US coz it's price over there is attractive for them coz they in turn buy songs/movies/tv shows for a decent price.

It's the ecosystem that is driving the iphone in US. Not the phone alone.

 

[m-jeri]

now now gagan..u make me bleed..thats one sore point i agree..no holds bar..hehhehe

but @goobi...doesnt 3g means u can have 2 camera.....not mandatory..only in 3g u can video-con r8 thats why....

@desii...

ok dada-ji why dont u go home and chew some paan and let the youngsters talk....

Personally I find phone cameras of any make to be complete crap. I've always said this so dont' say I'm changing my views now that I have an iPhone. Anyway, given that, I would still say that the iPhone cam is pretty good. Sure you can't do night time photography, but I don't know what this autofocus thing is. You press and hold the camera button and it focusses on the subject. I can surely say it is as good as my friend's K790i (we checked, he agreed).
