to an extent, sure, but he was in-fact introducing ground-breaking features.
No 3g? No video, no copy paste? Yep, magical, pinch to zoom which wasn't an apple invention was pretty cool, but that was about it. Web browsing, mp3, camera, all standard at that stage.. so cool as a package, but very little ground breaking features....
what smartphones had 3g and video in 2007?! what smarphones had full web browsing?? the whole point was that it was a package. all standard at that stage, but not in a phone.
I wont bore you with a list of phones that had those features.. but would you do me the service of giving me a list of ground breaking features the first iphone introduced, thanks...

Are you actually questioning my post? Let me guess you think apple was the first in everything, lol, that's amazing, theynhave literally invented nothing, everything is copied, stolen, bought!!! (Siri) , the marketing really worked on you eh fella...

i might not be enough of a tech geek to know what all features of all smartphones preceding the iphone had, but somehow, living in nyc, other than blackberry phones, i can recall one or 2 other smartphones which were incredibly limited and had styluses.
but sure, i'm wrong, you're right - the iphone wasn't revolutionary. in fact it's not even that popular.
Great back tracking fella, no ones saying the package wasn't cool, it was. But if you are gonna go on record and talk.about ground breaking features, all we are asking is that you name a few.
Oh by the way. Motorola, htc, samsung , Nokia, were all pioneers in the early to mid 2000s in phone tech.
i know - i had the razr! amazing phone.
btw, i was commenting on a rumors thread, not going on record. oh, and who are these "we"?..
It's the royal "we" fella.. it's cool, you dont know of a single ground breaking feature introduced, that's fine.. you are not alone, there's a huge amount of ppl who think the iphone and the iphone alone firstly was the first to do everything, and secondly is the only phone capable of doing such magical feats. Mad I know.. but true.... not long ago, a colleague, a grown adult commented that she loves her iphone cos she can go on ebay!!!! And she was genuinely shocked when I told her everything phone can access.ebay!!!
enlighten me, which smartphone(s) had a full version of google maps? and i'm sorry for your grown colleague, but let's not generalize.
And you sir are rude. Google maps on a pre 3g phone is useless, you couldnt down load maps for off line usage back then and network speeds on 2g were zilch. So GM wasn't a ground breaking feature. On wifi in the home was good, but that's not really the point of mapping software is it...
So.im not really sure why I'm sad? I dont feel sad, I'm quite content at the minute... it's all good tho, youve spouted rubbish on the web, been called out, have no legitimate response so start name calling.. good.on you sir..
i did have a legitimate response, but instead of admitting that it was a revolutionary thing you chose to sh*t on it - very mature. and btw i used maps on 2g when the first iphone came out, and yes, it wasn't fast, but it was still useful. maybe not to you, but that becomes subjective. the fact that the iphone was the first smartphone to feature that is objective and a fact(unless you know of a model that had it before, but seeing how you didn't mention it - you probably don't).
i'm usually not a fan of articles such as this, as you may be lucky enough to have half of the facts be true, but even if only 5 out of 10 are factual that still ads a lot to the argument. i'm sure you can argue with all of them, as you seem to know a lot. or just sh*t on them
9 things that wouldn't exist if Apple hadn't launched the iPhone
Few consumer gadgets have had as big of an impact on the tech industry and culture at large as the iPhone
and "sad" was not a name, just a reflection on your q&a manners.
Will look into it. I have Verizon now with nano SIM. So gotta make sure that AT&T phone is unlocked and use an SIM adapter to make new SIM old size.
