Why I won't stay in line for hours to get the *Iphone*

    You may be calling it the phone for the decade or at least phone of the year.But I certainly won't agree with you.Here is why.

    Is 600 bucks enough, no it isn't!:mad:
    Even after paying 600 bucks I WILL still have to pay 36 bucks activation plus 60$ more for 450 minutes of talking so thats a total of 700 bucks just to have a new type of *neat interface*.Even if you buy the 4gb iphone for 500 bucks you will still round up payin' 600 bucks for the phone.

    Also when I am paying 700 bucks just for phone I would like the best camera on phone.But the apple's cutting edge technology provides only a 2 pix camera.Also the iphone has only EDGE no 3G.


    The second most thing I didn't like is the size of that phone.Will it fit in my pocket?I certainly won't like to carry a phone in my hand for hours.

    Is iphone will be able to stand the hype it has created?From my side a big NO NO.:(

    There are a lot of phones available better than iphone at this range offering better features.
    The only thing noticeable will be the touch screen.

    the day we own a $600 phone is the day that Publisher's Clearinghouse shows up at our door with a $10 million check ;)

    But when you have to pay the activation fee, the extra minutes, download the iTunes songs and ringtones that you already bought on your PC, it's going to cost a lot to own an iPhone. Jobs is brilliant. Apple stock will probably split again by this time next year.

    Just think yourself lucky that you're in a place that can buy the iPhone for $600... It's probably going to be £600 when it comes over here, and only available on a stupidly high tarrif...

    People pay $1000 for the N95, when you think about it for $600 you get a phone which is pretty cool and a ipod which can be worth a few hundred alone.

    I totally agree with you. I would also like to say that there are advantages and also disadvantages with iPhone. It is just a hype that is created for this new phone.
