    Crazy. So basically it's a phone with flash-based memory which can play music/films which somehow justifies paying insane amounts of money for very little storage, coupled off with a lack of features available on other phone models for subtantially smaller amounts of money.

    But I still want one, what the fuck.

    Apparently making phone calls on the iPhone takes several steps.
    Making a call, though, can take as many as six steps: wake the phone, unlock its buttons, summon the Home screen, open the Phone program, view the Recent Calls or speed-dial list, and select a name. Call quality is only average, and depends on the strength of your AT&T signal.

    Yeah, honestly if someone was like $50 and its yours, plus, $40 a month for service and you get everything.

    It would be hard to turn down.

    Imagine if you were in some huge car accident and your very life depended on that phone call to emergency. And the iPhone is being all stubborn and shit.
    Scary thought.

    So there's no voice dialing... is there any hands-free option at all?

    Or is this phone completely illegal to use while driving in CA.

    There are many reasons why I'm going to wait a few years to get an iPhone.

    Money and features are top among them.

    On the one hand, these items are effectively the doorway into the next step in technology (motion/touch sensing)

    On the other, buying things like the Surface and the iPhone are essentially cheap prototypes whos only seeling point is this "new technology." It would be much better off to wait until this technology is applied to more practical uses, rather than gimimcks.

    I want one of those tables that plays every arcade and 8-bit and 16-bit game ever made. You know. Magically.

    And serves as a media center/server for the rest of the house.

    And is also a table.

    shit, I got a Galaga cabinet right now that is about 1/3 of the way restored and set up to become a media center/games station, but I don't have the fucking room to work on it right now.

    So frustrating.

    well, some people don't know how to charge a phone properly and end up cooking their batteries

    then they have to buy a new one, which in most phones is a fairly simple deal to replace.

    I would not be surprised if the tech support people have wave after wave of complaints about how their battery is not holding a charge

    Maybe if you buy a new phone every year. I'm on my 3rd battery on my 4 year old Motorola.

    I actually have 2, if I forget to charge it overnight (or if the damn plug doesn't go in all the way, piece of shit) I keep a spare battery charged so I can swap it out.

    It comes with headphones with a mic on the cord. The iPod automatically pauses music when you have a call coming in. The mic in the headphones is also pinch-sensitive - like you can pinch it to pause music, double-pinch to skip forward, pinch to answer a call, shit like that.
