I will buy the IPhone IF.........

1. They integrate IChat
2. They add Microsoft Exchange compatibility that auto updates calendar, email, etc. I don't want to have to sync it, if i forget to sync it and I add a calendar date on my computer it doesn't go on my Iphone....BULLSH*T
3. If the test dummies that buy it right away determine the keyboard is workable. I am killer at the double thumb typing method and rely on fast emailing and messaging for my business.
4. They included unlimited SMS. I think it is BULLSH*T they act like the SMS feature is so amazing and give you 200.

I am a huge Apple fan but maybe me and all of my apple fanatic friends are way off base from the general population?? Everyone I know is waiting a while to buy it to see if they get their sh*t together.

1. There's a 3rd party app out there for iChat.
2. MS Exchange has pretty much been confirmed.
3. Others (Walt Mossberg) were typing fast after 5 days.
4. For $10 more a month you can get 1,500 messages. $20 for unlimited.
 
I like you mrat

- ichat 3rd party app is over safari = LAME. It is an apple program it shoudl be such on the hottest communication device to hit the market. Every other device has AIM + the others, and IPhone should naturally have IChat, but I think they are trying to rip off the customer with the slow, unreliable, SMS.
- i do see some exchange info popping up. if that is true it will change many minds about buying IPhone
- SMS is such old technology and little information, it should be unlimited and included in the package. Cingular or ATT is just cashing in. It is like the 5 cents it costs in coke syrup at a fast food joint and they sell it for $1.50.
- I hope walt story is true. I am doubting a bit but will give the story the benefit of the doubt.

Europeans will probably only buy an iphone when...

Hell we all have an ipod already, so the phone features should convince us. We're not a third world country and we're used to the technical features of modern networks, and I think Apple will really need to do some serious upgrading of specs before it will impress european customers into buying one (network providers are not going to downgrade their services either)

- It needs to be able to operate on 3G/UMTS networks
- It should have voicedialling (calling handsfree in a car is mandatory almost everywhere here)
- it should do do MMS
- and while we're at it, it should come with a user-replaceable battery (no one want to be out of communications while their mobile is at the Apple store for a couple of days- get real!)

i keep heaqring this ripping off the customer with slow unreliable SMS.

Ive been with cingular/att forever. Phones have their own IM clients that use up your text messages. iChat either isnt happening cause apple said no, or its not done yet.
 
EDIT : Whoops ... sorry irrelevant post on a 5 friggin year thread!!

Finds some obscure thread (who knows how) and adds a post that is completely insignificant due to the age of the original post. A post just to post.
