iPhone: Should I buy one?

Go with a Blackberry. Physical keys are much better.

 

Oh, you think a couple of smilies will get me to forgive you!?!

OK, it will. Damn it!

 

Those were kissies. And you even have facial hair.

That should tell you how much I mean it.

 

I have facial hair and nobody will touch me with a 720-pica pole.

 

I got my 3G iPhone in Aug? and I love it. I had a Blackberry before, which I give high marks and which I found to be practically bulletproof.

However, the iPhone's ability to switch applications so fast (on phone, check e-mail, map, switch music selection, etc.) with just touches is amazing.

Yes the battery goes down fast but it charges fast too (full charge in 30 mins; and unlike before, batteries do not suffer on number of recharges)

I'm an AT&T person in the SF Bay Area and the reception has not been a problem nor dropped calls except for occasionally.

E-Mail and calendaring with MS Outlook is quick.

The 3G works much faster than the Blackberry that's for sure and its near wi-fi I think.

Its not too big;

The screen for movies is fantastic.

 

I have facial hair and no one will get within three states of me.

(Sorry, Trey ... can't help with the iPhone dilemma. I just want for my phone to drop fewer calls.)

 

I agree. Should I get a Voyager?

 

Yes! That's what I have. I love it. Get the plastic stickum to put on the cover. Mine's all scratched.

 

I'm going to the mall tomorrow to check out the phone. I really like my EnV, so I might just get a new one of them; I hate the EnV2.

 

I don't understand this. I have a full beard right now and my wife loves it. She would be upset if I shaved it off. And would be pissed if i lost the goatee.

 

I've had my iPhone about a year. Loves me my iPhone. I've had dropped calls, but it's always in one spot on the highway, so I've learned not to be on the phone at that spot. Battery life? Never been a problem with me, but I put mine back in the charger every night -- it's right next to my computer, so it's a habit. And I don't baby it, but it could pass for brand new. No scratches, dents... so in my experience the thing can take a beating. I had a Treo before and it looked like it had been to Beirut and back after a year.

 

While we're on the subject, I'm seriously considering the new Blackberry.

Anyone have one already and want to weigh in?
