  • kolywater, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1most ***** annoying video ever. there plenty of legitimate reasons not to get an iphone. with all his verbose rambling he managed to squeeze out maybe 1 or 2.
  • oneshare325, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I no longer have any respect for him!!! His reasons are stupid and come off as a pointless rant!

    # t rains a lot in Seattle - no phone is worth getting pruned over. (Don't care)
    # I don’t need to give people another reason to beat me up. (Makes no sense seeing as they are instock almost everywhere)
    # Despite the Apple brand, I’m confident iPhone 2.0 will be more my cup of tea. (One good reason so far)
    # Going from 3G to Edge is like going from DSL to dial-up. (That makes 2, but Wifi helps make this reason better)
    # Can’t replace the battery? Is that a feature? (Did you really think they would let you)
    # I’d rather find a sponsor for it (and the plan), instead. (I need a new phone, and I will pay for it)
    # Buyer’s remorse will set in after bragging rights are no longer valid. (NO, I need a phone, and I wanted that one, even if people thought it was the worst phone in the world)
    # Still unclear on Windows / Outlook integration. (Don't run windows, don't care)
    # Do I really need to make Steve Jobs any richer than he already is? (What about gates?, or the CEO of Exxon??)
    # Do I really need to give AT&T any more of my money? (If you want a cell phone you are going to have to pay someone!!)

    Apple iPhone - Most Ripped Gadget Ever?
    # I’m already sick of the hype. (I don't care about that)
    # My current mobile device (a Blackjack) is working just fine for me. (My w800 works fine, but I want an iPhone)
    # My current iPod isn’t broken yet. (You know it is a phone too?) (You would be ranting if it couldn't play iTunes music)
    # I’ve tried touch-screen phones before and hated the experience. (Ever use Apples? Newton is considered one of the best)
    # I’m afraid of dropping something worth more than my TV set. (Get a better TV) (Ipods were 500 when they first came out)
    # No support for the SlingBox yet. (That is because it is not a slingbox product, it also doesn't support the Microsoft music store!)
    # Unsure of the iPhone media recording experience at this point. (what do you want to record?)
    # There’s no iTunes content subscription service yet. (yeah..it is called your computer)
    # Waiting to see how many Apple fanatics return theirs. (the ones that have broken ones or can't afford it)
    # Why should I? Seriously, WHY?! (Beause you want it, and you can afford it)

    I see maybe 2 good reasons, there are a bunch of good reasons why someone wouldn't buy an iPhone, but He really didn't hit any of those..
