Let’s be honest: this phone is mostly designed to impress and pick up girls. When it comes to real use, despite the hype about this phone, I found it disappointing. For all the money paid for it and for the mandatory data service (extra $30/month) this phone should do much more than it does. Internet access only goes half way: one cannot download/upload files. 16GB makes it more powerful than my first Pentium computer, yet the phone has less than 1/10 of that computer’s capabilities. The operating system and programs are only partially compatible even with Macs. Most annoying however I found its unusual sensitivity to water or even humidity. This phone is mostly to be kept under a glass display in the living room, as it does not easily survive regular use. Things that everyone normally does with a phone – talk in the bathroom, talk in the rain, keep it in your pocket while running soaked with perspiration, go to the sauna, sneeze while on the phone, all these things that I don’t have a problem doing with my Nokia – all these are death hazards for this phone. Apple even installed a WATER DAMAGE SENSOR in the phone, something I never heard of in any other electronic device, even its Mac laptops. That clearly shows that Apple knows about this problem but is more concerned about voiding warranties that designing a better phone. A minimal design to make the phone more usable and resistant to water, such as covers for all openings, would have cost less than the fancy water sensor. But maybe they do this on purpose, to make customers buy replacements if the iphone gets ruined by water, who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised. Apple is clearly interested more to cover its a..s than to provide for the customer. If you want a dependable phone, don’t get the Iphone. If you absolutely must have it, keep it for Saturday night dates, but even then keep it in a plastic bag, God forbid you might spill the wine on it.

Very dissapointed in the money i LOST upgrading. Theirs nothing new to it compared to the older models, that I can tell. I wish they made it with a camera or something, but since they didnt, ive gotten a very bad deal towards this, maybe its time to change to another MP3………..

no Flash media player.

Skype sounded terrible.

Itunes did some mean things to me like erasing my stuff from pod.

take Apple to Court sue them.

Looks like consumers wanting a camera equipped iTouch will have to wait another year at least, seems like Apple thinks it’s more important to supply all the kiddies with this feature by placing it in the Nano. Sigh…………………

Isn’t that sad? Apple allowed Amazon to lower their prices because the Zune HD is formidable competition. I was waiting for the 3rd Gen to be announced. When they did…… Well you know what happened. ALMOST NOTHING HAPPENED!!!! So now I have switched sides. Lets hope it’s a fair fight.
