    No keyboard, no discounts to ms employees, retarded data plan prices.

    You're just an iPhone hater.

    Actually, I quite like the iPhone. It is just too expensive and doesn't meet all of my phone requirements (see edit 2 above)

    You know the iPhone is actually pretty good :P
    1)The keyboard is built into the screen (to make it simpler)
    2) You can send pictures by email, just like I did to you last week. As long as you have email set up on the phone that is.
    3) The rate plan isn't soo bad depending on which one you get
    4) The camera isn't that bad (who cares about cell phone pics anyways? get a camera if you want good quality pics)
    5) Yeah there are a lot of problems with 3G iPhones, but those will all be taken care of because let's face it, Apple has pretty good customer service and takes care of their users (besides charging them a lot).

    But yeah, price is definitely an issue. In your words "it's just money"

    1) No tactile response sucks, hard to type w/o looking and no horizontal keyboard is lame.
    2) but if someone sends you an MMS you never get it, my family sends mms pictures all the time but my dad is always excluded w/ his iphone
    3) $115/mo spec'd to my needs before tax, crazy expensive
    4) Why carry around two pieces of technology all the time? My w810i takes better pictures than the iphone and it was released years before, why is apple lagging here?
    5) I thought you hated apple :-p
    6) No laptop tethering. That is another big downer.
    7) No flash player (and no plans) means half the web doesn't work right... annoying.
    8) I can keep going...

    It's just money is more relevant for short impulse things, not signing my life away for $115+/mo for the next 2 years!

    $115 / mo is a bs number. No idea where you are getting that from.

    I think I like Kendall more than you.
  • xijio · 1 year ago
    $59.99 voice plan (900min)
    $30 3g
    $15 business connectivity
    $20 unlimited texts
    =$115+tax
    how is that bs?

    and who wouldn't like Kendall more than me?
  • Kendall · 1 year ago
    Well yes, I agree with the very latter part of your reply.
