not to mention that the stock app was missing on the "iphone nano" why would the size of a phone influence the stock app?

because magical flying monkeys told me so

ah those flying magical monkeys.
they exist i tells ya.

I agree with Don though, you need to have a large screen.

Take the Omnia for example.
The screen is too small to do anything on.

(plus the model I bought was faulty)

I want my iPhone back!

maybe its aimed at the more average phone user, who doesn't need to check stocks

The "average phone user" is a convenient myth. There is no average user. People use what interests them or that which is convenient or useful, you can't just stereotype people into false categories. People use modern convergence devices for a multitude of things, hence the appeal of the smart phone.

but there is still the fact that some people buy phones with less features for less money, and others that buy smart phones with more features for money.
an iphone "nano" maybe just a cut down iphone for people who don't want to pay for a high end phone with features they'll never use.

Why not just use a normal iPhone with a cheaper plan, then? Isn't that what this is all about?

All this "iPhone Nano" talk always just boils down to "I want a cheaper monthly plan" -- so why is this up to Apple? If you could pay $25 a month and have an iPhone would that be ok? Take it up with your carrier. I can get an iPhone with a $20 plan from Fido in Canada. People in other countries have even more freedom with their plan choices.

well no, not exactly. many people want a phone where you don't have to be tied into a monthly plan at all. Here in the UK, you can get the iPhone on pay and go, but with the 16gb costing almost £400 (nearly $600) it's way out of most people's price range.
Especially when you can buy a brand new simple non smart phone nokia for around £100, which is the type of phone a lot of people have.

Well, I really think Apple is more concerend with getting the iPhone down to £99 over time, than introducing an "iPhone Nano" at that price point.

But whatever. iPhone Nano is coming in January :rolleyes:

No, what it comes down to is, what is Apple likely to do to sell more phones. The data plan is an obstacle to this since many potential customers could care less.

You also seem to be confused that many of "us" want this phone. Most of us have and are happy with the current iphone. We simply acknowledge the business sense of Apple bringing another handset into the market.

It's also been leaked that RIM is bringing another 2-3 touch screen phones next year... and you think Apple's going to go it alone with one handset?

The naysayers seem mostly to be emotionally repulsed by the idea of a cheaper/lower end iphone since it somehow hurts their feelings.

Those of us saying it's possible or even likely simply point out the business and logistical reasons that Apple would do it.... not that we are "broke ass" and can't afford our current iphones.

Oh ya, we don't live in our parents basement like you guys either. :cool:
 
The next thing that people are going to start talking about is the iPhone shuffle.

"Who will it dial next? No one knows!"

Don
:D

Why does the screen have to be a different size? Same screen size, same resolution, no problem. There's a lot of trim that could be shed if the internal components could be dealt with. Maybe the home button will be "nano" size. The image may be fake, but a reasonable idea of what the nano may look like.
 
frankly speaking, i have already got my fingers puzzled on iPhone, so i really don't want such smaller one. but if faster, it sounds better. :cool:

I would think that the processor would be slower actually because they have to fit the same stuff into a smaller package...yet another reason why this is so improbably because the current iPhone is stuffed to capacity....some of the dis-assembly photos showed that....
