Finally got one since it now takes video. Really easy to use and it will be hard to go back using WM or any other pda device.

Vids.

Is it as great as it's marketed? Tons faster than the 3G and original? and how's the video quality, really?

 

It kicks *** but it's my first iPhone so I have no camparison. I'll get some vids up soon.

 

bastard..with your 3.0 megapixel camera..and oleophobic screen..

 

Man the lcd busted on mine and the warranty doesn't cover it. now its $200 to replace and another 70 to extend the BS coverage that they offer.

 

My phone's got a 5.0mp camera. If I had AT&T I would probably get the iphone, but I don't. We'll see if Verizon gets it.

 

yeah. but its not an iphone.

 

Oh yeah! 3rd gen iphone is finally out!

Now it can recieve SMS messages, it can copy & paste, and do video, and all other kinds of things that my Blackberry has been capable of doing for years!

Yaaaay!

LOL @ Iphone.

 

lol....they can also do wifi tethering..ie, you can use the iphone's wifi to connect to the internet through your laptop. The only thing is AT&T doesn't support it yet.

But really, the iphone isn't exactly behind the times, Jack.

 

my g1 did all that before the 3gs came out.... G1> Iphone....

congrats on the phone though, I am sure you will enjoy it alot, no denying it has a slue of functional and random apps to make it a great tool.

 

No SMS? no video? no copy & paste?...
i can understand copy and paste,

but no SMS? no Video?..,.. REALLY?

Tethering? lol... yeah, i really want to run my laptop through my 3g blackberry. No thankyou, i have wireless highspeed.

tethering is about useless feature for me.


My wife has an ipod touch, it is pretty click,a few of my friends have iphones, honestly, i dont see the huge thing about them, the only thing an Iphone has over my blackberry is that sweet touchscreen, but that really is not that big of a deal to me.

 

I still rock a razor

 

damn skippy...

8310 for years...best phone EVAR!!!!

 

thats what i have!

yah, iphone is a great phone, i think the blackberry curve is about the most user friendly smartphone out there though. its good that apple is finally getting everything up to par now though

 

MMS is what it was "missing". Though it was really easy to get around. And, all those "missing" features could've easily been downloaded through cydia. Which doesn't take past 10 min.

 

It's not, but does everything I need and then some.

 

I just posted vids up top of the post with music from the car so you can gauge sound quality. Vid was taken at dusk and it was darker than what the vid shows. Ill take other vids in the daytime later on.

 

Sick video quality, dude. I'm starting to want one now. I don't think I'm even eligible for an upgrade for at least a year, maybe another half year on top of that. FML. Looks like a lot of fun, though.

 

GREAT videos.
I love my 3Gs.
When I don't feel like typing, I use the voice recorder to make a message and email it.

 

I have an iphone for personal use and a blackberry for work and the iphone kicks the **** out of my blackberry. There are very very few things I like better about the blackberry.

I had two months left on my verizon contract and opted to buy out of it. Verizon will lead you to believe that there is a $175 termination fee, but each month your into your contract that amount goes down so it cost me like $14 to buy out of my contract.

 

just checked my account online and saw I'm available for the iphone upgrade! hell yeah, 16gig 3gs for $200, going to pick it up from Best Buy when I get off

 

I have same setup.

 

just got mine! 16 gig in white. my first iphone also

 

The phone had a hickup 2 days after I got it. The phone would not work which a simple on off fixed. Today I got a white screen,I had to hold home and lock button to do a reboot. I will call apple store and see what they say.

 

that stinks, but in my experience the apple support is pretty darn good.

 

I have a blackberry curve from verizon and all I do is talk/text and I love it. I haven't had any problems with it at all.

 

I've heard the 3gs have been having a ton of problems

3g ftw, **** your video mode! lol

 

Nice. I just have the 32gb Ipod Touch and I'm in love with it.

I couldn't wait to upgrade for the iPhone because my phone crapped out 1 month before I was due for an upgrade so I got a BlackJack II.

 

They swapped it out for a new phone so lets see how it goes.

 

one of the reasons im glad i dont have tons of disposable income is that by the time i can finally afford something they have most of the kinks worked out.
