iPhone. A guided tour.

^^^ Every normal person after watching that video will have a similar opinion to skip iPhone gen 1

I agree. First versions are not patched. My friend's bad experience with some nokia 3xxx phone which was first s60 mobile taught me that. The demo is awesome. I can't compare with windows mobile because I havent seen one. I will wait for real reviews before suggesting it to anyone.

i cant even think of this iphone..
many of the hutch guys told me tht hutch will be changed to Vodafone completely in August & 1st thing they gonna launch in india is 3G .. & i think this is a TECH forum & not a
EYECANDY forum.. & MOST of the ppl here r looking for Features rather than looks..
Looks do matter to me.. but i wud never invest 35 grands in a fone just with looks.
ppl only do tht when they have lots of money to waste & no BRAINS to use the features.

First of all to say the design and display are the best (thatz a cult for apple.... iPhone is no different)..

I only have 3 gripes against the iPhone specs (Hope these will be upgraded in the next generation)

1) no HSDPA/UMTS support. (Hope Apple will definitely upgrade as most of AT&T's networks are of the faster HSDPA flavor.

2) Support for external memory formats....we wud luv to have the memory expandable apart from the in-buit one.

3) Better camera specs (at least 3.2 MP).... because of the sheer mobile processing power under its hoods...

Also going for a 1st gen device is adventurous enuf...... let the fanboys do it.... I will definitely get one later the next year when the features and specs get better ... till then let me use my W850i, Cingular 8525 and XDA O2 to my hearts full !!!

What is left to buy in iphone when.

1) It has no 3G & HSDPA

2) Can't record video

3) No MMS

4) Can't use YouTube on EDGE

5) Can't install software

6) Can't IM

7) Can't use Flash & JAVA based sites

8) Can't play DivX video

9) Can't take good pics cos Camera is 2 MP only.

No, iphone will be able to install 3rd party applications.... Saw it on Dailytech about that.. so that means DivX support MAY be developed. Albeit everything can be developed as a 3rd party tool for that MacOS on iPhone.....

After all it has an excellent processing power.... 3 ARM processors with definitely an nVidia GPU (as on iPods) ... this translates to superb video processing capabilities..... defnitely my iPod video has got the best video quality among any device of its class out there...

it is not will be able it is may be ... after the thrashing jobs got from all over the net for not allowing 3rd party apps they went on a back foot saying wait for some time iphone may have 3rd party apps

 

[rockthegod]

yep.. wait for some time and in its 2nd gen.. it will have evrything.... after all its the customer who is always right

Thats the Apple way

I also think w960 will beat ipod and the ipod in iphone's music quality too..

and hence apple will lose even being NO 1 in that music player category

and even now i think thr are better music player thn ipod alone
