iphone.. would u buy it?

XxSNIPERxX · 07-02-2007, 06:24 PM

just wondering if you think the iphone is worth buying?
give reasons for your answer

NJNETSFAN · 07-02-2007, 06:37 PM

I voted no because of the price. I think a phone like that should cost $375 tops for the 8 GB version. Plus it's new technology so it's going to break. Hopefully the when the 2nd generation comes out it'll be cheaper than $500 and $600 .

sup2jzgte · 07-02-2007, 06:42 PM

No because I have no use for a phone like that. I'm old school, to me a phone is to make and receive calls anything other than that is just a waste of money in my opinion.

Nah... I've never spent more than $50 on a cell phone... I'm cheap, and I'm not a fan of iPods either.

patrickv · 07-02-2007, 06:47 PM

won't buy it for many reasons including :

the size
the price
hehe, it wont reach my country for another year

ThatGuy16 · 07-02-2007, 07:02 PM

it dont have a optional keypad
price
no sims card
cant remove battery if you need a new one

Well as of yet I'm the only one who said yes. However I would only buy it under certain circumstances. My contract is about to expire and I'm going to buy a new phone anyway, and my iPod isn't in the best of shape and I need a new iPod. My current cell phone seen below:

Is a beast, I've dropped it hundreds of times, and it has fallen in a toilet 3 times (once there was urine in the toilet, not mine...). So I need a new phone soon. If my iPod was broken right now or not working right I would seriously consider getting an iPhone. If I'm spending $250 on a new ipod, and probably the same amount on a new phone (assuming I don't get a discount) then why not get the iPhone? Now... give it a year or 2, prices will drop and the iPhone will be in its 2nd gen and be better. Why not get it?\

Edit: sorry for the huge picture of my phone, didn't feel like resizing it and uploading it to some image host)

I would but i ain't got the money and I would never take it out the house even if i did cuz it would get stolen.

bigsaucybob · 07-02-2007, 08:08 PM

I said yes, but that is only if I had $600 to spare. My iPod is actually quite new and in good condition, but I love the new technology and I see no reason not to get it.

My current iPod is 8GB, so I don't need more than that. And I enjoy having a phone that can do a lot, I have a Treo now and I had many PDA phones before that. I think the iPhone would be cool to have.

XxSNIPERxX · 07-02-2007, 08:10 PM

i said i wouldnt because i think in a years time jobbs will be back out on the stage showing us the new iphone2 which will be smaller and make up for any flaws the first iphone had.. like the retarded 2mp camera..and no photo sms'ing...and all the other cons about it
