Old news and really I don't care what he has to say, since he works for them he had to earn his paycheck somehow.

He makes valid points but the problems with the actual phone are all software problems. I wouldn't be wanting an iPhone if I wasn't confident that it'll soon be hacked to pieces. If it's got wifi then it's capable of VoIP. It just needs a little motivation, that's all. Not that I use VoIP on my current wifi smartphone anyway, I have plenty of minutes in my contract.

They aren't "problems". They're just small items that would be "neat" if had been included. lol

totally agree, the iPhone will not last it's 2yr contract. There will be way better cell phones out before it's contract is up, I'd say as early as X-Mas but JMO

I get bored of a phone after six months, I'm in an 18 month contract now and I regret it. I'll never sign more than 12 months again.

what phone has ever been the best out there 2 yrs after release.

let me rephrase, what electronic device has ever been the best out there 2 yrs after release?

 

[Twinnie]

I think what he's implying is that right now you could go back two years, grab a phone and it'd still be pretty good but the iPhone is lacking certain features to make it last it's time. Slow internet I assume.
