16GB iPhones/32 GB iPod Touch Official! - Blu-ray Forum

BStecke · 02-06-2008, 03:03 AM

Just gotta say that I love my iPhone as well. I've used phones from just about every manufacturer and the iPhone wins with me hands down. I originally had my eyes on the Sony Ericsson k790 (the Bond phone), but the iPhone has killed my interest in it. Two things I always have my eye on are phones and sunglasses . . . very hard to satisfy me in these areas. But, I've got my Oakley Juliets and my iPhone, and I haven't looked into an alternative for either since.

GPS would be nice, but Google maps works great. Could they add GPS via a software update?

No, I believe you need a transmitter/receiver chip inside the unit in order for it to be considered a GPS.
My girlfriend and her Iphone are inseparable as well, and she is pissed as hell since I told her the 16GB version just came out, especially since she's only had it for about a month. Now she's trying to find ways to sell her current one and get the 16GB one.

Way over priced.
I'll wait for the 60gb version whenever that may be.
I'm prettry the price will drop in couple months

I'll go for an iPhone when:

It's got a user replaceable battery.
It's seriously capable of replacing a "classic" iPod in terms of storage.
It's capable of modem tethering.
It's offered by T-Mobile.

Chances are, I'll be sticking with my 80GB iPod classic, and BlackBerry for awhile.

All but #4. Ive got the Blackjack and a nano at the moment. Not need for an upgrade until the iphone drops in price.

But you don't realize that its much more than just a nifty phone. You're actually buying a micro computer. Its worth every penny. Compare it to stuff like Verizon's horrible wannabe iPhone. The UI is HORRIBLE.

Don't know where you live, but my AT&T service is FAR better in more places than T-Mobile. I worked for T-Mobile for a year and a half and they always boast about their coverage, but there were tons of places where, according to their personal coverage check, I should have had adequate coverage but didn't. Plus, their technology is about two years behind everybody else's.

Its a bummer you can't buy the phone offline here in the UK, you HAVE to get an 18 month contract with it.

Well, unless you jailbreak it you have to get a 2 year contract here. I do have a $100 apple credit from my iPhone that I could use to get the 16gb version. hmm, decisions, decisions.
