or praise... Now that they've been out on the market what are you hearing. I have heard from people that have them "I love it"..... and from people that don't "my friend threw his away, kept fucking up on him"...
Comments
I have witnessed the "I love it" drop shift to "$500 for this piece of...#@$%^$". I hear nothing but desire and heartache for this tool but I say let the "new gadget" ride the market at least a few more months. Maybe a Christmas or New Years item. Two things need to happen. It needs to be 90-100% error free and the price needs to drop at least a third or half the price. People do have a demand for them though and it does look so cool
Do you really see the price dropping 30-50%? At most, I imagine they could knock $100 off but I don't see them suddenly selling these for $250 come Xmas.
That said - if it did cost that much, I'd buy one.
99cents for an iphone!
he said that it didnt even come with an instruction manual of any kind. Is that correct?
Yes, that' correct. It makes sure you randomly start pressing buttons, so that it enables promotional emails to your mailbox, and makes sure you stay connected to the next apple release.
Cons = No IM. Can only sync iPod part, not manually manage (my biggest gripe, but I've learned to tolerate it). No GPS. Fix these 3 things and everyone in the world should have one to complete their life. As is, it's great with room for improvement.
I don't regret the money spent on it one bit in the end.
no ability for the one-handed no-look texting while driving style, which is a necessity
maybe i dont understand, but it seems like that nes emulator would have worked way better if you had to turn it sideways and the buttons were set up more like a GB advance. this seems like its way too close together and would hurt your hands pretty bad after a few minutes playing.
plus it looks like once you hit the d-pad mario just moves indefinitely.
I guess
incredibly incorrect
but yes...

Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae is a big guy. So he has a hard time using the features on ever-shrinking user interfaces on devices like his new iPhone. At least, he did, until he had his thumbs surgically altered in a revolutionary new surgical technique known as "whittling."
"From my old Treo, to my Blackberry, to this new iPhone, I had a hard time hitting the right buttons, and I always lost those little styluses," explains Martel. "Sure, the procedure was expensive, but when I think of all the time I save by being able to use modern handhelds so much faster, I really think the surgery will pay for itself in ten to fifteen years. And what it's saving me in frustration - that's priceless."
"This is really, on the edge sort of stuff," explains Dr. Robert Fox Spars, who worked on developing the procedure. "We're turning plastic surgery from something that people use in service of vanity, to a real tool for improving workplace efficiency."
The procedure involved making a small incision into both thumbs and shaving down the bones, followed by careful muscular alteration and modification of the fingernails. While Martel's new thumbs now appear small and effeminate in comparison to his otherwise very large hands, he says he can still lift "pretty much anything I could lift before the surgery - though opening spaghetti sauce jars has been a problem. That was a big surprise."

Wow.
I guarantee Apple will not release a "the realz iPhone" in December, let alone any other product. I could see a revision in January at MacWorld, but it's not gonna be anything outrageous.
To say that the current one is a test/demo model sounds like cell phone company subterfuge.
Would love to hear these complaints, too.
But seeing all the kool aid drinkers get testy and defensive about the inevitable version 2.0 is just too much fun, so prob not....
lol
