Oh Hell Yes. I'm Sold On The iPhone Now

[PuffnScruff]

razors were never 600 dollars

Yes there were. They were on Ebay for 600 dollars. My friends wife works at cingular and she got one right before they came out and he sold it for $600. Get off my fucking nutts. Every time I post you come right behind me.

Now to the "Apple-holics." The Motorola razor at the time it was introduced was "cutting edge" cell phone technology and priced at $500 and up.

Oh really?

ebay is not a retailer. it is an auction. they never once retailed for 600 dollars.

edit: after further research it seems the razr did come out at first upwards of 500 dollars but was quickly dropped. i dont ever remember seeing it that high so it must not have stayed that price for too long

The link is not talking about Ebay you dipshit.

it never was 600. here when it was promoted and everything it cost 300 with no contracts. 200 with contract. now it dropped a lot ever since the new razor kicked in. which by the way is as ugly as the first one.

From best friends, to greatest enemies. Yeah.

Show me a video that demonstrates being able to type on it as fast as on a Sidekick 2 or 3 and you'll have me sold. Until then, blah, it looks awkward as fuck to use, you need two hands to operate and Im usually driving and using my sidekick at the same time.

It's cool, but it should be called the iToy, it doesnt look very productive at all, to me it's just one big gimmick.

Ya I have good reason to lie about the price of a cell phone. That is great logic.

The phone was supposed to be something beautiful, like jewelry - a pricey gem in the $500 range at retail, rather than a mass-market staple. Motorola needed a reputation builder, badly. The moneymaker phones would come after, or so the plan went, piggybacking on the company's restored allure.

Ya'll are wrong, God damn haters everywhere. I guess CNN just made up the article also. I know it's hard when you're wrong. Never take a Republican or a Canadiens word. Stupid fucks.

Yeah exactly. The Sidekick is the device to have for people that actually use phones to communicate. iPhones are for people that just want to look cool, and they will get overexposed so fast. You know when you see someone with an iPod most of them are dumb fucks who don't know jackshit about technology and just follow like sheep.

iPhone is the same. it's designed to bring apple as much profit as possible as nothing else. it's not designed for the needs of the actual consumer. see how cool everyone looks when their brand new sleek looking screen gets greasy fingerprints all over it within an hour.

That is one of the needs of the consumer. You might as well decry Nike for making fashionable but impractical trainers, and selling them with a 1000% markup.

very true! :thumb:

eric should post this other video up from a reporter at a convention where the iphone was on display. the man got a first hand look at it and the apple rep was typing on the phone. i have to say he was typing on it just as easy as i do on my sk3.

people can hate on the iphone all the want but the truth is this phone is stepping up the pda game and setting the bar. i dont see any other phones on the market with technology like the iphone or compares to. it's touchscreen alone is going to make other companies take notice and step it up to bring their customers back to them.

lucky for me i will probably be getting my hands on an iphone in the next month or so and i will not have to pay a dime thank you tax payers!
