well, there was already a question similar to this… Something like “what kind of phone do you have” and just about everyone said they owned an iPhone. I have one, and mainly am on my iphone when I go on fluther.
[but when I’m at home, I’m on my pc, because it’s just easier]
Predictably, I do not own one. I pay Verizon for 50 minutes a month, have an el cheapo phone only for driving emergencies and power outages. Marina calls us Luddites – I concur.
I wake up in the morning and check Fluther on my iPhone while I’m still in bed. I even have the icon on my home screen. I’m not sure if it’s an addiction yet, but I’m sure it’s close…
@Gail: Haha, about 20% of the people who see it just start laughing, but quite a few ask what a Luddite is (while simultaneously talking into their Bluetooth head set, receiving a text message and sending an email)
I never owned anything Apple. Not an iPod, not an iMac, and certainly not an iPhone. I have nothing against Apple or Apple’s products, and I’m not a Microsoft fanboy either. Just… eh.
At first I never wanted the iPhone, but when I took it for a test drive, I started saving up money like half a second later! Don’t know how I ended up with an iPod Touch though. :-P
I cannot afford an iPhone, never touched one either. Like MisterBlueSky, I don’t own a single Apple product. I wouldn’t call myself a Microsoft fangirl, i have found that with big brand name products, you often lose the purity of the gadget….if that makes any sense. That said, I would love to play with an iPhone….sooo maybe 30 years from now when I am done paying my college debt? For now, i will take whatever the cell phone company gives me for free :D
eye…do not. Was waiting for my cell carrier to carry it. Unfortunately, they are now carrying knock offs and I am not sure what is better or worse…
I also have a verizon Samsung poor little phone. I like it but wouldn’t recommend it or buy it again. The hardest thing to do on it is make a dang phone call! :(
i don’t have one, still waiting for it to come out in holland, but i guess i’ll just get one from the states when the 3g model comes out, im sure someone will help me get it across
I don’t have one, but at the end of my current phone contract will probably get one – so long as the new generation has all the features I prefer a phone to have.
I have a small scientific desk calculator I’ve had for 30 years. It works just fine, as does my brain for the simple stuff. How many of you have ever seen an elegant, ivory slide rule, BTW?
Different reasons. but mainly because of the fact I am using it in Europe right now and wanted to get the newer version later with 3G for mobile internet support with these providers.
yup, me too, only thing that sucks…we will not be selling them, T-mobile will….oh well, we’ll make the money on support then
“t-mobile helpdesk, how may i help you”
“yes hello, this is *** from ***, i’m trying to put music on my iphone but i don’t know how”
“have you tried turning it off and on again?”
just wanted to mention my happiness! Glad I got rid of mine earlier. Now that they have lowered the price of the new version I might give it another go. The GPS support adds incredible new interesting ways for people to develop apps for the iPhone. That combined with the newly released apps for syncing directly to google contacts and google calendar, even over wifi is great. I saw that Fring has released their software for the iPhone allowing skype calls to be made! fantastic. The main reasons I sold mine have gotten corrected. Let’s hope Telia, the provider in Sweden hooks us up with a good deal on the thing!
My husband wanted to buy one and add it to his business account but they said he had to open a whole new account. Instead he bought an HTC that was actually better.
I just got myself a 2nd hand Nokia E65. Got 3G, bluetooth and WLAN and all other things except GPS (can be bought in an external bluetooth solution). That is a great phone! Especially for 150 bucks used…
To be perfectly honest, I have never even seen an iPhone. and I have never even asked, I think I mix with the wrong circle of friends Is it a cross between a mobile phone and a hand-held computer?
