yeah it's cool that it took Apple 2 years to get MMS... my cousin was feeling left out when my friends would text each other porn.

it's also cool that my company can't make an iPhone version of our one app due to having to use the app store, but we could easily make one for Blackberrys and Androids

There is a rumor that my firm's email servers will begin to support the iphone in the future. I'll make the leap then.

I know that people here on this board will get all over me for saying this...but I can't stand the Blackberry...the Google phone I can tolerate..but hate how unresponsive the touch screen is and huge the phone is...if I wanted to carry a brick in my pants I shit myself...

so...yes...i have an iphone...say what you will about how Apple sucks and is a terrorist organization or some shit becuase the stuff is made in China (which MOST electroncis these days are)...and they are proprietary and evil.

let me just say I like it...it works...period...and since they added copy/paste and at the end of this month MMS I am stoked.

AT&T on the other hand can go kiss my ass...which is why i am thinking about jailbreaking this thing.

ps. i am accessing this on my iphone and its sweet.

someone is a little defensive about their iphone

MMS was ALWAYS more an issue with AT&T agreements than Apple's fault. The network didn't support it so they had no reason to add it into the phone...but they did with the last OS upgrade and have basically forced AT&T to get ith it and upgrade their network.

The app store is still touting more quality apps then any other app store out there and while it seems Apple has a darth Vaderesque approach to the approval process it really is because they want superior programming and apps for a quailty device. There are a ton of crap programs out there for Android and Windows Mobile and most of the good ones are available for the iphone as well. Most of the apps that get rejected in the Apple store are becuase they are crap to begin with programming wise. No one wants to pay for a buggy app that doesn't work half the time.

I am not necessarly defending my phone...rather my chocie to buy it. Trust me I waited three years before I bought it..as I do with all Apple products...why? because while they usually come out with some good stuff intially they almost always improve upon the 1st gen's within a year or two of releasing the new device.

you know by then the MacTablet might actually be a reality...then the whole iphone issue would be irrelevant. Then again...I am not so sure Steve jobs really wants to get into the netbook market.

Man the apple juice they gave you must be real good! I've been an AT&T customer for years and have had MMS for years... not sure how it is their fault.

And there are plenty of stories of developers releasing stuff and being either rejected for no reason, or being accepted and then taken off the store for no reason. Aren't customer ratings a good way to filter out the crap? And what about that $1000 light app or whatever that was? It's not about quality, it's about control plain and simple. This has been their strategy for years and years and years, so why would it be different for the iPhone?


Aaaaaaaaanyways... I can't wait until my contract is up so I can sign another contract and get another too-expensive-and-doesn't-work-as-well-as-I-hoped phone and plan!

[Metal Dream]

I have a Blackberry Curve and I love it. I have an unlimited data plan with it so I can browse all day and it won't cost me an arm.

At work, we cannot browse because everything is Websensed so my phone is my link with the Shizz (That's exactly the case right now )

Well...Apple juice has been my veins since I was a kid and my dad brought home our first Apple LCII. Look i am not saying Apple is the end all of cell phones...because in reality as a cell phone its really just an ipod with a phone feature...but that being said as a portable web device/smartphone it is pretty intuitive and can compete with Blackberry and others out there. Never heard of the $1000 light app but that's intersting that someone would set that price (which BTW the developers do not Apple). As far as MMS goes i could care less...to me its not all that useful...but to those who like to dog Apple they hold it over apple supporters like its the one thing that brings the phone down as a peice of crap.

And, even with Apple having a draconian style control over the app store they are still leading when it comes to the number of apps available...which could because they have been around longer or that developers still prefer to code for apple apps...

now what apple has done with itunes as being a medi center hub sometimes gets me worked up becuase it really is restrictive for many of things you would like it to do...especially if you are a PC user. But, i do have to agree with you raub that i can't wait till my contract is up...its the part of owning a cell phone period that I despise.

[weener]

I have a Blackberry Curve...

That sounds like a good name for a vibrator. One of those curved ones that gets the g-spot.

[Nekofrog]

I got a Blackberry 8320 for free (two of them actually) with my T-Mobile contract a year and a half ago. The contract is up next April, I love these phones, so I dunno what I'm going to do come April.

I rarely check e-mail from anything but my phone now.
