iPhone Suckiness

[WouldYouLikeToBuyAPhone?]

Revenge is sweet

Back at work today after reading said forums last night. A rep was talking to a customer about said offer, and had to come ask me about it. Things started to sound familiar, so I plugged in and what do you know, it was one of the people who had been posting on this forum! (Could tell because he was directly quoting it) the rep shot him down, said something like 'Sorry but its just not gonna happen'. What do you know, I get home tonight and look up the same forum, and theres a post from this person, saying 'Spoke to <Name of rep who took said call> and they won't let me have what I want!'

Well dickhead, if you hadn't posted your intention to try and swindle us all over the internet, on a hugely popular Australian website, we wouln't have known what you were up to!

Saw your other thread...congrats for giving that EW just enough rope to hang herself with.

The Propel's the phone I recently got...I don't text at all really, but I'd like to be able to get online if I don't have a computer (I know the data rates suck, but I promised mom I'd only use that for important stuff). Also the keyboard is handy simply for entering any text at all.

Although something funky happened with the voicemail where I've been unable to access it for the past week

The only iPhone app I ever really thought would be useful is the one that tells me where I parked my car. I really need that one.

I want this.

...The built-in camera...?

Get a MobileMe account and a second iPhone to leave in your parked car.

Now now, lets not be hating on the iPhones (says the girl who has already downloaded 61 free apps)

When we went in to change plans hubby was a little upset that his rollover minutes wouldn't carry to the next service tier, but we were definitely not sucky.

I moved from a telephone-only cell phone to an iPhone, so I think I have some cause for teh love

I'm just wary about touchscreen anything--not sure how durable they are (my phones tend to end up in the bottom of a bag under keys, wallet, books, etc). When mom and I got new phones, we were both drooling over the iPhone (I swear, she's a closet gadget geek!), but even I found the onscreen keyboard too small to use. I could probably do it with a stylus, but I think the iPhone's touchscreen is "capacitive" and a stylus won't work.

Touchscreens are actually pretty durable these days. It depends on how they're made. I have a first generation Nintendo DS, and I've abused the hell out of that screen, what with playing Elite Beat Agents. One part of that game seems to be specifically designed to ruin the screen surface. Cooking Mama can be pretty hard on the screen, too. So far, the only problem is that the surface is pretty scratched up; it's still as sensitive to touch as ever.

I have no use for an iPhone, myself. If I wanted to do texting and online stuff, I'd something notably more robust, and massively cheaper.
