The amazing iPhone

If you've been watching the commercials, then you should know it's the best and all of you iphone owners should be happy. But there is only one problem with that:

Apple was forced to pull a television advert for the iPhone 3G today after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) decided it exaggerated the speed of mobile browsing.

PS: People who see the commercials and buy these may not be as smart as you complaining or know what 3G is, so be kind :)

Its just sad to see how many People actually believe the rubbish they see on TV.Most TV ads are illogical,showing stuff not even remotely connected to the product for 26 secs, only telling you what product they are talking about in the last 3 secs,and then give you 1 sec to take the phone number of the supplier down.
And just because something is endorsed by some celebrity/sport star does not make a crappy product any better.
And if those banks did what they promise in their ads ,they would not have gone down the tube.

Are you telling me that the Ab Blaster 9000 won't really make the fat just melt away (results not typical)?

I have the irresistible urge to punch people who can't seem to wipe the ****-eating grin off their face while they perform some menial task on their iphone.

We get it. Your iphone has a touch screen.

Someone should develop an iPhone app that lets you punch digital images of iPhone users in the face. Just touch the screen where you want to punch them.

AeroJonesy: Hmm, something in the line of force feedback ballistic vest for first person shooters (I've seen some advertising in the past). I wonder who would really want to feel the shots in the game...

Re: The amazing iPhone

I've been keeping an eye on the HTC Touch Pro and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. They both have real keyboards, which is the main reason I don't use the iPhone (I hate trying to type on the on-screen keys) and have higher resolutions (640x480 and 800x480 vs the iPhone's 320x480), and I hate having to scroll around on websites or have them crammed into some iPhone compatible format. Plus, EDGE, which is what the iPhone uses, is slower than HSDPA/HSUPA for the XPERIA. Not to mention I hate Apple's prohibition of customization and bloated/annoying software.

Re: The amazing iPhone

People who have a hatred for anything iPhone are people who don't got one. iPhone has the best user interface bar none. And one of the best OS.

The only smarts phones that comes close to having a serious competition are the HTC Touch HD, Nokia N97, and Samsung Omnia. Most of them are not available in the US.

All other phones Xperia X1, Tmobile G1, and HTC Touch Pro have one flaw in common. Smaller touch screen and not a true multi touch like iPhone. Go to Best Buys and pick up the latest and great geek toy call G1. It's a clunky piece of crap. Then walk around to the next counter and pick up the iPhone.

I don't masturbate to Apple. My phone does every (important) thing the iPone does and I an type on it while eating cheetos.

My phone has sophisticated Tactile Response Technologyâ„¢, or TRT, and provides physical feedback allowing me to feel what buttons I press. With this advanced technology, I can press buttons on the phone without even looking at them! Furthermore, I can actually feel when a button is pressed, and don't have to worry about misentering numbers due to unresponsive touch screens. Amazing!

P.S. In case you weren't following, my phone is about 5 years old and the above is written in jest.

Re: The amazing iPhone

I've never seen the benefit of touchscreens. Apart from allowing developers to cram more screen into a smaller space.
