Time names iPhone Invention of the Year

[aryayush]

Hmm...ever used a browser in a smartphone which has a "Joystick" or "Nevigation Pad" to do the same



Hmm.,..nah, again the Joystick" or "Nevigation Pad"



Try using the music player on a SE Walkman phone or Nokia N Series Music Edition phones.?



Lolz...have a look at N73 ME's e-mail client, plz.

There are some pretty convincing arguments against the iPhone but these are not it. Safari and the iPod on the iPhone are simply unmatchable. They are a class apart. No phone in the world comes anywhere close.

@gagan007
Do you have a Wi-Fi connection? Do you use Safari on the iPhone regularly, if at all?

If the answer to both the questions is no (and I am sure it is), you're not the sort of person the iPhone is for.

You cannot forward an SMS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't knew this ... , earlier my verdict for iPhone was Bad , now its worse ! if ever , i'll go for the iPhone only bcoz of its UI .

 

[aryayush]

I won't... until they fix the Bluetooth and text messaging.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Even my k800 with my opera mini is more than enough...not to mention my phones music player..they rock...even i would have hated my phone if they would have given it invention of the year coz it makes scientist and researcher like some lkg kids...

Hope times refer to dictionary what INVENTION really means...
They announced this for cheap publicity...ya the whole world is looking for publicity..no wonder why times wouldn have dared to do it..

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Well to be true .. Time mag named iphone as invention of year coz they want publicity and make people buy that boring old outdated magazine
its just marketing !! if you can't understand this .. You sure are dumb in business !!!
Business** >> something that you do where the primary aim is to make money .. rest all comes next

some one tell something that is ground breaking in iphone .. except for its hype !

Lolz...have a look at N73 ME's e-mail client, plz.

1. Joy Stick ? You must be kiddin ! Its not about JoyStick or anything....its about getting as close as possible to Computer like Surfing. iPhone is way faster than any Cell out there ! Even on AirTel EDGE it beats any phone for its Speedy Page rendering, and about Wifi there's no need to even speak bout it !

2. The Photo Viewer on any Cell....take your N73 (or even the N95) for e.g. and compare its speed and usability to the iPhone. Even a small kid will tell you which is better !

3.What makes the Email application better than any other is just cause of its integration with the OS. The way it pops out when u receive a new message to the overall Simplicity and UI. Although not the best but its way better than atleast the N73/95 !

BTW a few more point for those n00bs who dunno anything bout the iPhone.....

Video Recording will soon be available in 1-2 Weeks which'll allow Recording till 640x480

And bout the Music Player, tell me anything that's any Cooler than the CoverFlow Mode ! Music Organization on the iPhone beats any Music Phone out there !

As of now, iPhone is uncomparable, when you start to compare to the actual satisfaction, you'll find after a months use most Smartphone users are totally bored with their cells and soon want a new one ! But thats not the case with iPhone....with its every increasing Application Database (AapTaap) there are new features added daily, and at the same time a fully loaded iPhone will work as fast when its was just new ! Speed is the most important aspect. Show me any phone that beats the iPhone interms of UI speed and I'll buy u a beer !

Plz have a look at similar Phones such as Nokia N81, N80, N93i, Sony W950/960, Nokia Internet Tablet, Sony Ericsson P Series. Use these first & then compare. Other then that fact that the UI of iPhone is cool, there is no other difference in browsing.

Oh! I forgot to tell you, Opera Mobile for SE W960i or Nokia N series phone also support Adobe Flash, while iPhone doesn't, in other words I can watch YouTube web videos on my brand new W960i but not on iPhone.

2. The Photo Viewer on any Cell....take your N73 (or even the N95) for e.g. and compare its speed and usability to the iPhone. Even a small kid will tell you which is better !

I hope u have used a N95 or N73. Other then a cool look, iPhone has nothing better.

3.What makes the Email application better than any other is just cause of its integration with the OS. The way it pops out when u receive a new message to the overall Simplicity and UI. Although not the best but its way better than atleast the N73/95 !

How is it better? In Nokia N73 ME you simply go to the E-Mail app & select to check for E-Mail, same thing is done in iPhone.

Video Recording will soon be available in 1-2 Weeks which'll allow Recording till 640x480

This requirs hacking the iPhone's firmware & installaing a 3rd party application which actually takes pics continuesly to make them look like a video. A hacked iPhone can stop working after an update.

And bout the Music Player, tell me anything that's any Cooler than the CoverFlow Mode ! Music Organization on the iPhone beats any Music Phone out there !

Lolz...I hope u know that cover flow is pathetic to browse for music. It good for listening, You have to click & flick so many times to reach from one album to another.

As of now, iPhone is uncomparable, when you start to compare to the actual satisfaction, you'll find after a months use most Smartphone users are totally bored with their cells and soon want a new one !

Open your eyes & look at W960i, N95, N82, Samsung F700 etc...I don't drink alchohal, so buy me Kabab Parathe

FYI iPhone has a YouTube application inbuilt. About the Browsing Experience, you've never used an iPhone, so cut the crap !

I hope u have used a N95 or N73. Other then a cool look, iPhone has nothing better.

I have used the N95 for a month, so plz don't tell me what's better and whats not. The Photo Application on the iPhone is way faster and much more fun than the N95 ! The experience you get for actually pinching or flicking the fotos with your hands is unmatched ! And afaik its the Multi-Touch UI that made the iPhone deserve the Times award

How is it better? In Nokia N73 ME you simply go to the E-Mail app & select to check for E-Mail, same thing is done in iPhone.

Again as I said its better cause of its integration with the OS. Tap a Cell no in your email and it automatically opens the Phone App.

This requirs hacking the iPhone's firmware & installaing a 3rd party application which actually takes pics continuesly to make them look like a video. A hacked iPhone can stop working after an update.

Agreed you need to actually hack the iPhone for that, but really its no big deal as JailBreaking is easy enough and performing an update wont harm the iPhone but just the 3rd Party Apps. Also the PSP for e.g. is quite successful not cause of its games, but cause of its large no of Homebrew applications.

Lolz...I hope u know that cover flow is pathetic to browse for music. It good for listening, You have to click & flick so many times to reach from one album to another.

CoverFlow is just an effect. Im talking about the actual organization of Music, the iTunes Syncing, the big Album Arts, the online Apple WiFi Store, browsing of the Songs with a Rubber-band effect......all this makes the Music experience much better than other phones.

And the Video....the Video Quality/Experience rivals that of the PSP ! Its the large 3.5 Touch Screen and its resolution that will beat any Sub-25k phone out there when it comes to Photos and Videos.

Open your eyes & look at W960i, N95, N82, Samsung F700 etc...I don't drink alchohal, so buy me Kabab Parathe

Again I bet you never have handled an iPhone yourself, I had been using the N95 for a month and its nowhere close to the speed of the iPhone with many applications installed

My suggestion, please get a Live Demo of the iPhone ! Most people just think what other think and make an assumption. When it comes to the actual Usage and Satisfaction, you'll find the iPhone is much better than any Cell out there.

I hope u have used a N95 or N73. Other then a cool look, iPhone has nothing better.

Are you doing image editing on the phone? It has to look cool. And there's nothing cooler than flicking your finger through your album collection (on the gorgeous 3.5" screen I might add).

Lolz...I hope u know that cover flow is pathetic to browse for music. It good for listening, You have to click & flick so many times to reach from one album to another.

Lolz back. I hope you know that Music is also a fun experience. While browsing through coverflow you actually feel like you are browsing through your CD collection. Now you might be hearing music for technical reasons, but most people listen to music for pleasure. Browsing through covers is really amazing. Of course, you can just flip the phone upright and browse through it the normal way

Now I've seen Google maps on my friend's SE Wwhatever. The experience of actually thumbing through, zooming using 'the pinch', and having the phone render all that super fast is something to be amazed about.

 

[iMav]

goobi how many times do u have ur gadget like a mp3 player or cell fone in ur hand while listening to music? ....

 

[goobimama]

Huh? Wouldn't it be in my pocket?

 

[aryayush]

@Tanmay
You, my friend, are quite obviously and unfortunately very unfamiliar with the wiles of our dear friend, gx_saurav!

You keep stressing that actually using the iPhone or even watching a detailed video of it (he has already done that) will change his opinion and he'll agree with you. I wish it was true - I truly do - but I hate to inform you that it isn't. Oh, he'll be mighty impressed, I'm sure. And within himself, he will accept that this phones completely beats the **** out of every other handheld device on the planet.

But if you're expecting a public acceptance of the fact, stop having these delusions of grandeur right now. That just aint happenin', fella. This guy will die before he accepts that Apple has completely thrown every cellphone company for a loop and everyone is scrambling to try and catch up with it now.

No matter how much you argue with him, he'll keep assuming that you have never used any other smartphone in this world and that all the world's knowledge has been bestowed upon him, and only him, by the Almighty. N95 and W960i will keep appearing in his posts for encore performances and the discussion will keep going around in circles.

There's no end to this. So, for you own sake, stop trying to pull someone out of the ditch when he likes it there. Enjoy!

[iMav]

so ur gonna change the cover with ur ding-dong whats the point of bragging about something thats of no use as the bloody device is in ur pocket how many times are u gonna remove it to change the cover ... trust me this excitement of changing covers with fingers will last no longer than a few days

and as far as getting a live demo is concerned iv played with the device for time sufficient enough for me to how good it is ...

all it has is just a few tricks that make 1 go gaga waah waah i touch this happens other than that as a fone its worse than a chinese fone damn the chinese fones have more features *farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/2107305542_22d75ef21a_o.png and do more than this fone

 

[aryayush]

Yeah, we know. How can we ever forget the "more features"!

(Where's that option to add stars to a post. This one deserves a 5'er!)

::takes a bow::

Thank you, thank you! The appreciation makes the effort worth it.

 

[goobimama]

Can you yourself understand what you've written?

As for changing tracks, I would just press twice on the supplied earphones and voila, track changed!

And I don't want you to have any kind of concerns for my ding dong. You'd have better chances with Gx's....
