Time names iPhone Invention of the Year

[iMav]

Now here we go again...it'll be better if you go through atleast the previous page thoroughly, Im not gonna explain you separately the Features of the iPhone now available all over again !! I already said iPhone SUPPORTS SMS FORWARDING and soon VIDEO along with Ringtones, YouTube, Instant Messengers, VOIP Application, Direct Uploads to Flickr, Custom Themes, GPS Support (via an external device which costs ~89$), !

guess what my 6600 has most of this and it being a device 6years old can record videos; forward sms; has a2dp (yes i use it)

custom themes: check
video re: check
ringtones: check
IM: check
sms forward: check

so 5 out of ur 7 coming soon features are alread there in a 6-7 year old device *farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/2107305542_22d75ef21a_o.png what innovation

Regarding A2DP....well tell me this...how many of you here actually own a Bluetooth Stereo Headset ?

u dont doesnt mean the world doesnt

Regarding Bluetooth File Transfers....I'm better off without it..atleast people don't keep bothering me to send this and that....

what a crap statement - no seriously this is the sh!ttiest statement i have ever heard

why dont u also say:

i dont forward sms so im better off without; or i dont record vdos so im better off without it; i dont want custom ringtones so im better off without it; i dont install third party softwares so im better off w ithout them - what absolute rubbish

Its not only invention, its innovation ! iPhone's changed the way we used Mobiles. All future phones are surely gonna be based on Touch based inputs with tactile feedback ! Even the new Nokia S60s are are full too copy cat of the iPhones innovative Input Based methods.

o dman this guy knows nothing about cell fones seriously he deserves a n00b of the month award ... have u ever heard of SE p900 or maybe hp pdas have u touch screen has been there since ages - touch based input what kinda innovation is putting something that has been developed decades ago the iphone is nothing more than a flashy UI - when it comes to being a fone its nothing

Surely you're not using your iPhone to its full potential. There are plenty of really fun applications and games which other phones can never mimic ! Like the iPhysics or AirHockey......seriously considering the Official SDK is not out yet and still you get to see so many cool apps...just think what'll happen in a couple of months when the actual SDK releases !

there is no much more potential in my 6600 if only i could hack the hardware i could change the loud speaker; i could add gps chip; i could do this i could do that boy what crap are u talking .... if u want to talk about development then look at the development in SE & nokia fones even blackberry for that matter or hp pdas

talk about what is and not what can be .... what can be has infinite possibilities

That, my dear friend, was sarcasm. Milind will be the last person on Earth to badmouth the iPhone. He does not own one yet but plans to as soon as it hits the Indian shores, no matter how many drawbacks it has.

You got a lotta learnin' to do. Imagine thinking that Milind could ever seriously type those words!

Err ? Ever heard of Multi Touch ? Tell me a single Mobile Device having Multi-Touch before the iPhone ? Heck tell me of even a Mobile having a Capacitive Touch Screen ?

And how can you say when it comes to a phone its nothing ? If you read all that I've written it can do almost everything other High End phones can ! So how did you reach to that conclusion ????

Have you ever seen a actual iPhone in your life ? Have you experienced it ? Prolly no and hence you can't understand how advanced the Touchscreen and its GUI is......

Most guys like you just make an assumption of their own from others assumptions. Ever seen the speed of the iPhone ? Just take it in your hand and see the speed of the Device ! It'll beat all Windows Mobile based phones hands down !

guess what my 6600 has most of this and it being a device 6years old can record videos; forward sms; has a2dp (yes i use it)

Since when does Nokia 6600 have Stereo Music? let alone A2DP support.... Now look whos the Noob.....do you even know what A2DP really means ?

there is no much more potential in my 6600 if only i could hack the hardware i could change the loud speaker; i could add gps chip; i could do this i could do that boy what crap are u talking .... if u want to talk about development then look at the development in SE & nokia fones even blackberry for that matter or hp pdas

If you read ateast some tech news site then you'll know that there's already a GPS Device. And about development....theres are 100's of Applciations available for the iPhone in a single location (AapTaap) and guess what they're all Community based and FREE ! Not only that there are atleast 5 apps added daily to that list ! So cut the crap about iPhone development cause you don't know a **** about it !

@goobi : Sorry for the confusion man....I don't come to Digit mostly...busy Moderation Chip alone (+ few others too) So I'm pretty much new over here. You see from what I've heard form ex-Digit members, Digit has a lot of people who bash n00bs and think they're almighty and know everything.....now I've experienced it myself...ohh well.... *www.chip-india.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

1 u urself asy that there is this in the working and that is being developed then u say it can do everything dude ur contradicting urself at 1 point u say this is currently being developed this will come soon to the iphone and in ur next post u say that it beats the fone

i pointed out points to u and all u cud come up with after reading them was a stupid question

Have you ever seen a actual iPhone in your life ? Have you experienced it ? Prolly no and hence you can't understand how advanced the Touchscreen and its GUI is......

yup i have both the iphone and the ipod touch and as i have said that the UI dont make the fone the UI will amke u go gaga over it for some time but when u start using the fone ul be like wtf i cant forward a freakin sms

and i know about the gps hack being available which is rather stupid to spend money on when u can get it in most fones available today

and not to mention that if gps wsa such a obvious upgrade to the iphone then why wasnt it added to the fone in the first place

PS: ur right - we are the FUD busters

Um... I'm not sure but did you mean me? I had no intention of bashing you. I was just being my friendly self, trying to acquaint you with our sarcastic friend over here. No hard feelings.

Of course, if you meant someone else...

and i know about the gps hack being available which is rather stupid to spend money on when u can get it in most fones available today

Most phones! Riiight!

The iPhone does not have GPS because you have to make a freaking huge enclosure to include that thing. Show me one phone in the world that features built-in GPS and has a thickness of 12mm or less.

1 u urself asy that there is this in the working and that is being developed then u say it can do everything dude ur contradicting urself at 1 point u say this is currently being developed this will come soon to the iphone and in ur next post u say that it beats the fone

i pointed out points to u and all u cud come up with after reading them was a stupid question

If you read my posts correctly and understand English...SMS Forwarding is already available....Video Recording is in BETA Stage but that too is available for use....

and i know about the gps hack being available which is rather stupid to spend money on when u can get it in most fones available today

and not to mention that if gps wsa such a obvious upgrade to the iphone then why wasnt it added to the fone in the first place

Most phones have GPS ? I never knew that As arya said...GPS makes the device very bulky....and above that you require subscription for that service in India atleast !

yup i have both the iphone and the ipod touch and as i have said that the UI dont make the fone the UI will amke u go gaga over it for some time but when u start using the fone ul be like wtf i cant forward a freakin sms

You have both of them ? Yeah right Who'll be foolish enough to buy both the iPhone and iPod Touch at same time That SMS Forwarding application is there for around a month now ! If you dont know where to find it then plz come on IM, Im ever ready to help n00bs like you You don't even know what A2DP means and you think you know everything about mobiles :roll:

@arya : Obviously I was not pointing at you bro ! You know who I'm talking about.....

 

[gxsaurav]

Damn, no electricity since the morning, it's hell to type on mobile.

Err ? Ever heard of Multi Touch ? Tell me a single Mobile Device having Multi-Touch before the iPhone ?

Gesture based UI - Nope. iPhone is the first. I agree.

Heck tell me of even a Mobile having a Capacitive Touch Screen ?

Nokia 7610

And how can you say when it comes to a phone its nothing ? If you read all that I've written it can do almost everything other High End phones can ! So how did you reach to that conclusion ????

That's the keyword, other low endphones are already doing things from ages that iPhone is not able to do right now. U R talking like Lingeeks, "Linux will have this, it has that...it will have that" let us know when it has it.

Have you ever seen a actual iPhone in your life ? Have you experienced it ? Prolly no and hence you can't understand how advanced the Touchscreen and its GUI is......

Me & manan both have. It's fun to work on iPhone for 15 mins, but once u start doing work, u come to know it's a turd/

Most guys like you just make an assumption of their own from others assumptions. Ever seen the speed of the iPhone ? Just take it in your hand and see the speed of the Device ! It'll beat all Windows Mobile based phones hands down !

lolz....

Haha you're out of words now ! ^ You're totally pwned ! So STFU now !

 

[infra_red_dude]

While I'm no Apple fan, but I appreciate certain things about Apple and its products. As I always say: Give credit where its due.

Nokia 7610

7610 has touch screen??!!! (I'm sorry I cudn't find the appropriate smiley!).

Me & manan both have. It's fun to work on iPhone for 15 mins, but once u start doing work, u come to know it's a turd/

There is no proof required how much you both boast of!

According to me, these are the limitations of iPhone:

1) No java support
2) No video recording
3) No BT file transfer
4) No A2DP

I prefer AIO device. Would I advise anyone to buy the iPhone now? NO WAY! Would I advise anyone to buy iPod Touch? Not if they are like me who'd like a convergent device.

While I agree its not appropriate to call it invention of the year, I'd certainly give it the award of innovation. It has re-invented the way you use devices. You need to use iPod Touch to get a feeling of it. Though there is nothing new that it gives, but the experience of multi-touch to do the same things is innovative. You need an open mind to realize these things.

I'd say the default UI of Windows is better than Linux, the font renedering is better, the no. of options available while installing software are better in Windows for more control etc. Appreciate where you should, condemn where you should. Open your mind!

Im Happy to see people like you ^^ here Practical and Unbiased

Nokia 7610

May God help you......

 

[Pathik]

I guess GX meant the nokia 7710.

 

[iMav]

Haha you're out of words now ! ^ You're totally pwned ! So STFU now !

what a fone that requires me to install thrid party apps to forward a sms is better in features than other fones *farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/2107305542_22d75ef21a_o.png dude arya atleast makes sense in his post

and infra i dont need a certificate from u saying whether i have used the iphone or no

 

[infra_red_dude]

and infra i dont need a certificate from u saying whether i have used the iphone or no

Yeah, I'm neither giving you one nor refusing to give you one!

 

[drgrudge]

Please gx_saurav dont tell Windows Mobile based phones are faster. I was working with Trimble, Dubai and I've used Windows Mobile CE, Windows 5 and Windows 6 extensively.

Disclaimer: I don't have a iPhone nor even touched it. I got many relatives in the USA and UK so it's not a big deal for me to buy. I'm just waiting for iPhone "v.2". We'll see how good is the Windows Mobile Phone...


Some Windows Mobile Myths Busted

It's Fast
We had 633 Mhz Intel Proccy, 64 MB Ram and 512 MB Flash memory. Some cost devices cost Dhs 45,000 (Rs 5 Lacs+) yet they're slow. Tried loading a 1 mb image in the flash memory and using it? We were asking the clients to buy a SD Card to load bigger files.

It also has a good touch screen
The devices has a touch screen, but nothing to boast off. Within a week of operation, you'll have to align screen to use it. It's prone to scratches and we used to provide protective film to the touchscreen. It would respond unless the pointing device is pin point to the place. So it's difficult to navigate with your fingers.

Mobile Internet and Browsing is cool
There are loads of place where you get free Wi Fi other than the International Airport, so I've used it many times.

Mobile IE is good in a way. It's convinent to browse through feeds while you're stuck in traffic or waiting in Airport Lounge but thats not the way you want to browse.

Also I was not able to connect through our Office LAN. Maybe it needed some complex settings and voodoo magic.


This is an irritating issue. Atleast once in 2 days (if you use frequently) it'll hang or the touch screen will wont respond.


Windows Mobile is suited for people who is on the on the move, need internet connection, send and receive emails on the spot. But then a Blackberry is better than this Windows Mobile based mobile.

 

[iMav]

i doubt people will say the same after using htc touch the touch inerface not being something to boast abt etc etc

 

[infra_red_dude]

The funny thing is, even after users post their first hand experience you say they are wrong! Man, you are one Great Wall of MS!!!

Such loyalty shouldn't go un-rewarded!

 

[goobimama]

You see from what I've heard form ex-Digit members, Digit has a lot of people who bash n00bs and think they're almighty and know everything

Don't say that dude. It's all good here. Just have to get through the thick headedness of these two-three, and it's all fine. I have yet to come across a rude member out here.

iMav, Gx, what say? All in good health I hope!

 

[MetalheadGautham]

^^wow and I thought gx_saurav was actually on my side...

Lemme get one thing clear: windows mobile comes nowhere near OSX mobile. And both of them come nowhere near Familiar Linux(the one for mobiles). And perhaps in the near future, android will beat them all.

For a complete mobile solution, Familiar Linux is the way to go today, because of the vast array of tools available for it. I suppose it will soon be ported to the iPhone to make it dual boot, earning it the Universe's Best Buy for Mobile Phones. It has VLC, which is the main reason music/video enthusiasts get attracted to it. And linux being customisable, you get the same effect that OSX gets in iPhone - the software looks like it is made for the hardware.

Windows CE can never come near the UNIXes for mobiles. Apple Inc just demonstrated that with their phone. Kudos to apple(though forgetting things like ability to forward an SMS is still toxic stupidity). I hope the errors in the phone's OS will be fixed soon, because the hardware is otherwise a great combination.
