Undeniable of FL

Since hundreds of millions of cell phones are sold every year, the Itoy's highly questionable 10 million of sales is an infinitesimal drop in the bucket. I suppose Undeniable of FL stayed up all night waiting for his new IBoner and then through a temper tantrum when he couldn't make any calls or download Barney songs to his IBoner. I wonder if he through it on the floor and jumped on it when he couldn't change the battery. But then that's what children do until they grow up and need real productivity tools.

Let me guess, dad works for Palm? Rimm? The facts are simple and clear. The 1st release of the Iphone was dramatic. Market share going down for Iphone? Apple stopped making the original Iphone 8 months ago because who would buy one knowing a better model was coming? The 3G Iphone will take over the market. The only thing Apple lacked was 3G and security for emails. I have Blackberry Curve and it a glorified email phone. Internet component is almost unusable. It's like having a radio that can only tune in even numbers. Calendar function is like working with DOS.

Like it or not, Iphone is here to stay. Best of luck using substandard products.

IPhone

Alt of CA must have missed the gigantic screw up of the launch of the new IBoner if he thinks that there are problems with my thinking. What kind of intellectual giants sit out all night to buy a cell phone? The kind who find after they've wasted hundreds of dollars of their time that they can't even get on the horrible network AT&T provides or Apple's feeble attempt at a music monopoly.

Re: IPhone

"Shinkle says the future belongs to Apple (and Rim). I've been hearing about Apple's supposed dominance for 25 years and until recently the market share got nothing but smaller. It's more true than ever that Apple makes toys for children to play with. "When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child and I bought apple; but when I became a man I put away childish things bought a PC and a BlackBerry and went to work."

Thank god with that kind of thinking you are no one important.

re: loose AT&T

Use of the term “retard” is out dated and is a blatant display of your subnormal intelligence. Weather is what is happening outside. Whether is the correct spelling for the way you used the word.

Morals, convictions and a sense of decency far out way the need to purchase an over hyped excessively priced piece of corporate blink running on an inferior network.

Purchase a device that serves an actual function, not something that helps you display your insecurity.

AT&T stinks!

It really doesn't matter. The Iphone has so many hidden costs, it's unbelivable. I have one and I canceled my plan with AT&T. My bill for the first month I had my phone was $487.68 even though I signed on with an unlimited plan that allowed unlimited text messaging, email, the works. I ended up unlocking my phone and I signed on with a sidekick plan with T-mobile. It's prepaid, and I pay a dollar a day for unlimtied messaging, email, and browser access. $30 dollars a month sounds ten times better than $487.68.

"Unfortunately, Apple is still stubbornly clinging to their single-carrier plan, and after their shameless and illegal cooperation with the Bush Administration, I will not send a penny to AT&T."

Well, I guess you won't have any wireless service, seeing as how all of the wireless companies cooperated with the Bush Administration.
