Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
Q: Difference between a Nokia N73/W960i & iPhone
A: You don't need to have access to a computer to use a Nokia N73/W960i. These are self contained devices which you can use with or without computer.
You cannot use iPhone if you don't have access to a computer. You will need to make an iTunes account & activate iPhone it using iTunes.
In U.S. of A this might not matter much cos computers are easily available. But in India iPhone fails again.

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
People who do not own a computer are not the target market for the iPhone. If they have $500 to spare, they would have bought a computer first. Also, you do not need to have a computer either. Just take your iPhone to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store and they'll activate it for you.
@rakeshishere, the sales target is ten million units by the end of 2008.

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
Umm.....I will not talk about India here, we all know how many genius bar & Apple stores Jobs opened here.
Hey Arya, my maths teacher in TIME has a N73 ME but no computer at home, he just have a computer in office & that too for office. Still he uses his Phone for everything including Yahoo & Hotmail, & Yahoo Messenger + PPT/DOC/PDF reading. So, isn't N73 ME way better then iPhone which costs a lot more then N73 ME, & iPhone still won't work without computer.
Another reason not to buy iPhone.

Add New Ring Tone image file in iTunes 7.3
A nosy -- but helpfully so -- reader scrounged around the iTunes package files and discovered an image in the Help directory (/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/iTunes Help/gfx/) called "ringtone.gif." The image is a plus sign next to a bell -- add a ringtone, anybody? This helps confirm disputed reports that you can actually add custom ring tones to your iPhone.
For the record, this doesn't mean the feature actually exists (yet) in iTunes -- just that it's likely, if not now, then in a future update. Guess we won't know 'til 6ish tonight.

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
Read this on Engadget. However this can also means that ring tones will be sold by iTunes music store. It is already a proven fact that we cannot set our own mp3 as ring tone, so the only explanation for this feature is that Apple will sale the ring tones & won't provide it for free. Since it shows "iPhone ring tone File", I guess it will be some propriety form of midi or au.
This still doesn't proves or explains why iPhone cannot use mp3 ring tones.
This just in, iPhone comes without a wall charger or Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth headset costs $130 more & the dock for PC connection alone comes for $50
This means if you buy iPhone, make sure you buy the $50 dock atleast or you can't charge it.
Again, abe iPhone main hai kya?
Salesman: Just look at the UI, it looks so cool.
What about features & work

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
Nope, apparently he has only used the iPhone. Not to make it complex for users he just took iPod Video + Nokia 1100 & a TouchScreen UI.
If we make a chain of events it goes like this.
Today is the iDay, when people are making iLines outside all the Apple iStores to but the iPhone after hearing the iHype.
They will be forced to use the iPlan after which they will be tide with a AT&T iContract for two years. They have to pay 500 i$ at least & after purchasing they must get an iTunes Music store account whether they use it or not & activate it using iTunes.
They can use all there iPod music in iPhone too as long as the iContract & iPlan is valid.
They can only run the Web based iApps which will not run if you are not connected to iNet using EDGE or WiFi.
Apple uses the revolutionary iTouch based interface which doesn't work with any Stylus out there. If you need to enter anything you need to iType using the iKeyboard in iPhone, there is no handwriting recognition either.

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
Hey , Mr saurav . I took only 30 secs to edit my post to make it lighter to read , but you already quoted me .
yeah pun intended , but taking names directly to make fun is as bad as the PC v/s Mac ads. Not a good impression. If you dont follow Apple , then why follow their crap advertising theme of directly taking names.
i too am not a big fan of Aryayush , but this type of stuff is not ok . But if you both have good chemistry between you people then its ok.

Re: First review iPhone = iUseless
They have never given wall chargers with their iPods. Why start now? And why highlight the Bluetooth accessory in bold? You didn't seriously expect them to bundle along a bluetooth headset along with the iPhone did you?
That being said, it is true, Americans are kind of stupid...

Umm...no dock, no USB Cable, no Wall charger, how the hell is someone supposed to charge the iPhone 4 times in a day. Goobi, you can't be serious if u say that not bundling a charger (USB or Wall) is a good thing.

Because a wall charger is a standard accessory which comes with every chargeable electronic gadget. It should have been included with iPod too, just that by doing this Jobs would have lost a way to extort money.goobimama said:
