ive dropped mine on the concrete plenty of times, a few scratches on the back but thats it, holds up awesome.

any phone will break if u drop it just right.
 
I think this proves an important point: If the Sprint phone is so great, why can't they find a better way to compare? I mean, if this is the best they can do it ain't sayin' much.

everyone knows the iPhone is awesome. Period. :cool: (That don't sound fanboyish, does it?)

Maybe I just like apple too much but i don't think the mac vs. pc ads are as bad as these are.

That may be because the mac vs. pc adds entertain. They promote laughs. They arent like these that are like hey look what i can do, screw you, iPhone. They don't entertain, they are the boring type of propaganda. :p

Yeah, I just dropped my phone two days ago (was the second time) and it was in the sleeve that I have for it and of course it had to land on the part that was exposed. It landed right on the corner where the headphone jack is... on concrete. Left a pretty good scratch, but no broken screen. Right when I got back to my room, on went the ugly silicon case :(
 
i wonder what steve makes of this. Hopefully he'll check these videos out, get fired up and give us turn by turn and a video camera.

I must say, i did laugh.

i bet you he is just laughing his a** off.
but prob not as much as he did for the vista adds.

ya as someone said before, mac adds are entertaining, pc and now sprint adds are like hey im a pc and i got voice activated dialing and im better than you.

i wish apple would just have an add with that one south park episode where everyone drives a hybrid and they say "good for youuuuuuuuuu"

try it on the concrete and drop it on the glass screen
 
That first commercial is just a joke. I watched them all. Apple wouldn't even have to try and they can come up with more things why the iPhone is better. I think the G1 is it's best competitor to date. To be honest, I've only seen those with friends. No instincts or any of these shotty touch screen phones.
 
of course Apple has set the benchmark for touch phones and companies will try to do anything to beat it. Not going to happen, although the new blackberry might give it some heat but I still can't see it doing better than the iphone
 
Apple got a great head start, and they always will be ahead. Every time a company releases a new phone, Apple will have the new iPhone out. There is a reason the iPhone is selling more than the BB now.

iphone is also better than the new blackberry storm

Kind of a ridiculous statement since the Storm isnt even out yet. How would you know? Granted there is a bias here since most of us are Mac users and have used an iPhone. However it is possible for something to come along that is better than the iPhone.

I had an iPhone but had to give it up for reasons I discussed in another thread. I current have a LG Voyager, which is a piece of crap. The sales guy at Verizon tried to sell it as "just like the iPhone" and I just laughed in his face. But, it was the best of what they offer. Im exchanging it for a Storm this coming friday because Im hoping it is more like an iPhone than anything else.

If I could go back to ATT and my old iPhone I would in a second. But to say the iPhone is better without even trying a Storm is dumb.

Edit - if you all want to see a really ridiculous video, search for Voyager vs iPhone. Somehow the idiot that is doing it gives the edge to Voyager. Found it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15i7-3lHsOI
 
So...after watchig those videos, I'm failing to see why they are stupid. Every one of those is exactly spot on--they beat the iphone in every way.

I've owned both phones, and the Instinct is far and away better at the GPS features, the voice features, and the "everything plan" as well. Apple/AT&T have a long ways to go to catch up.

That said, the iphone is miles ahead in user interface, touch screen and gui.

I ultimately chose the iphone for the apps and the future of what it could be...but so far apple has let me down.
 
They may be stupid ads, but don't you wish you could watch them on your iPhone? If only my iPhone would allow me to watch them I'd give you my opinion :mad:

so you want flash? I bet the next generation iphone will get fans, because just bloody bad quality youtube videos making my macbook cry.
 
The only thing from those that I really wish the iPhone could do is the video camera. I still don't understand why they wont just let you do that. :confused:

Agree.

Some sort of video recording would be nice.
 
hey i have never had an iphone or anyone of these "smart phones" but that is pretty retarded that it can't shoot video (not that i would use it), and would make the whole youtube thing better because wasn't that a big thing, that you could watch you tube?
why can't you put stuff on youtube?

and not having flash?
that sucks.

maybe its because a lot of games are flash and there would be no way to play them.

Hello I'm a Mac,

I have obviously never taken cheap shots towards a competitor or put out misleading ads ever.



Oops you beat me to it but the same sentiment is there. Many things on that site are actually true. The main thing I am not sure of about their claims is they say "for around $100 a month". That is very ambiguous is $70 a month around $100? I don't know and quite frankly don't care. I am not buying one anyway so won't bother looking into it.

They should be attacking the iPhone for its horrible reception. Show an iPhone and your product the same location and the iPhone has no signal.



Come on having the USB ports all on one side is really nice especially if you are left handed and want to plug in a mouse.

yeah thats why its better to have one on both sides like the older mbp. you have one on left and one on right.
