Seven days til launch. That means what, 21 days until the first wave of
discounts are offered? No? So, it's fourteen days before they brick a
bunch of users for watching a video that isn't Apple Approved?

God, even when the Mac was new and I was an Apple tech this sort of shit
was boring. Now, over a phone? There are just some people who don't value
themselves at all except by whether they have the same gadget as someone
else, that's the only thing it can be. A whole group of people who realize
they're pretty much worthless and need something to own they can think makes
them into something even if the something it makes them is just an idiot
consumer.

have a good one

I dispute it, and most other people dispute it, too.

Ten people? TEN people?? And they're in line so they can break a
record? You mean it has nothing to do with Apple and the iPhone?
*yawn* It's a sad day when you can only find ten weirdos in a city the
size of NY.

You couldn't pay me to own a Nokia until they take some basic UI design
lessons.

I do.

Entirely remade?

Oh, like the revenue sharing? Or the limited choice in plans? Or the
"active at home" scheme?

I found this disturbing as a small AT&T branch store told me
yesterday they expect to be sold out by 10 AM.

They only were getting 40 iPhones for July 11 at their little
location.

AT&T will sell to volume buyers who are buying five or more from major
corporations starting at 5:30 AM so I expect some main AT&T stores to
be sold out before the darn doors even open to the general public.

Those people in NY may be standing in line in vain.

No interest to me or lots of folks I know.

What is really sad is how someone can let a device define their life.
Your knees may get wobbly when you think about iphones but I can assure
you there are lots of normal folks who are not fanbois who really don't
care about iphones. You really only make yourself look juvenile and
clueless like a teenage girl obsessed over some rock star.

It Only Looks Like an iPhone


By Rob Pegoraro
Thursday, July 3, 2008; Page D01

So many people are lining up to buy a new touch-screen wireless phone
that the carrier selling it can't keep up with demand.

No, not that one.

The popularity of Sprint Nextel's Samsung Instinct -- the company says
its first-week sales beat those of all its other broadband-capable
phones -- represents a bit of a puzzler.

The Instinct comes with a long inventory of added capabilities: Web
browsing, e-mail, text/picture/video messaging, digital music and
video playback, photography and video recording, GPS navigation and so
on. But it fumbles most of these more ambitious tasks.

Start with its on-screen keyboard, which offers neither effective
spell-checking nor tactile feedback, ensuring plenty of typos.

The Instinct also doesn't make enough use of its mobile broadband
Internet access (limited to Sprint's coverage, as the Instinct lacks a
WiFi receiver). Its Web browser struggles as much with full-size sites
as the antiquated software on Palm OS phones, taking an irritatingly
long time to display some of them. Its e-mail software ignores Web
formatting in messages and can't read PDF attachments, one of the most
common kinds of files to arrive in a message.

Then he goes on to say in a nice way that the Sprint Instinct suffers
compared to...
"The other is choice. The iPhone is an amazing machine --"

Well Rob there goes that Sprint's advertising account in the
Washington Post... but we appreciate an honest review.

Hey weirdo, if it is to interest to everyone, and somebody don`t like it,
it is NOT for everyone, leaving the group won`t change that either.
