There's plenty of useful apps on an iphone but there's just as many stupid ones.
I can vouch for this one. I've DL'ed two that were free that I just had to have for no apparent reason.
Also I've been playing around with the phone. The Data plan is unlimited Data meaning I can surf the web for however long I want all the time no extra charge. 3G phone works internationally, will add the correct Prefix for Us calls when using abroad. I'm not a speed typist I take my time when writing messages. your phone has some greta Features for people who Text I will give yo that Ziggy, but I'm using this phone for four things mostly, Music Internet, Youtube, and calling.
My Plan is Unlimited Mobile to Mobile 450 Anytime minutes 5000 Night and weekend minutes, and Unlimited Data. This is the basic plan, as well, when I'm in a local that has a Wireless hot spot that is not locked down secured, I can connect to it and not use my data.
As well I never said the iPhone is the best phone, I said that it is the best phone for me by my research. I looked at the eNV, Vu, iPhone, ect. I picked the iPhione for mutiple reasons, and I'm proud to say that I like it. Yes the Phone went down as Anime said it's because the release of the 3GS.
There is no need for this to become a War, and as it seems that this is happening, I am going to ask that, a mod/admin lock this before it gets anymore out of hand.

Stop.
Stop right there.
Take a step back, think for a moment.
Iphone, iphone.
Throwing money away.

I'd also like to point out that if you, angelus, do not jailbreak your phone, I will never stop laughing at you ever again.

Alright, a few misconceptions that seem to be spreading here. As far is battery goes, ive spent a 3 day camping trip (while not charging) while listening to music for 15-16 hrs and still had enough time to end the trip with 10-15% battery power. The fact that my Iphone can store 1000+ songs beats the living piss out of the 100-200 my other phones could store. The apps are far superior to anything other phones have and you can design your phone to do ever more, it's like having a mod kit for you phone. No zig, your phone can't do everything the apps can do (I've had a razor2/blackberry/iphone recently). The price is less for his phone and his bill is like 10 dollars more than yours zig? Really doesn't sound like a big deal, plus the fact that you're probably on a family plan is why your phone bill is reduced. Everything you said that came with your phone (unlimited texts free evening/weekend, all that other jazz) I have for my iphone(perhaps my plan is different than Angelus).Honestly, when you try to trash something it really helps if you've spent some time using said item... not making baseless arguments based on your one sided personal opinions.
For me, an iphone is a waste of money. I have no use for what I estimate to be 90+% of the apps for the phone. I use the phone for calls and the occasional text message. Hell, I would be satisfied with an old "brick" Nokia or some other antique piece of junk. There are the people who absolutely need something with all the features but, for the majority of us, you don't need it. Spend less money on a more basic phone and put the money towards something productive like a Roth I.R.A. retirement account.
My argument is all about the monetary side of it. Angelus could spend his money more wisely in my opinion as he has no real need for all those bell and whistles on it. I mean for fuck sake he's a bag boy at a Grocery store.
If Angelus opened a Roth I.R.A. today with a starting balance of $100 (cost of that phone) and put in the cost of having an iPhone a year ($840) every year until the age of 65. He would end up with over $300,000. That requires the Roth to have an 8% interest rate. Even if the Roth had only a 1% interest rate it would equate to $45,000.
That is my argument against the iPhone. From my understanding he doesn't really NEED an iPhone. He could buy something cheaper and invest the money towards something else but, like I said. His money, his decision.
(in case anybody wants to know where I got my numbers here.)
