- Drevor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+24anyone bothered to take a look at the crash dump?
Exception Codes: 0x8badf00d ... well, if you don't nourish your phone properly no wonder it crashes... - rubberbrush, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I'm not a big fan of Macs, but I love this freakin phone.
- Bobaliki, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12very in-depth first impressions, answers alot questions i had about the iPhone
- totorototoro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Dude, buy a sense of humor :p
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Anybody who has been on Digg for a while knows I'm anything BUT an Apple fanboy but after now using my iPhone for 5-6 hours straight I have to honestly say I'm impressed. Although honestly I think it's more like 80% amazing and 20% maddening. Hopefully some of that 20% maddening they'll address in software updates but I'm not holding my breath.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7this is the same way an ipod works... you dont really need to be able to play the files directly from the mounted iphone because they're already in your library...
- jkoke, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'm about 90% amazed and 10% frustrated. But most smart phones are 40% amazing and 60% frustration, so I'm in heaven.
- maklershed, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Hans .. Simon .. Gruber. Peter Gruber's brother.
- Zargon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Agree with all he said. It just works!
- galore, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7ok, I hate the hype, but having used my iPhone for a few hours now, I've got to say the UI _really_ is in a league of its own. Apple must employ the best SW engineers.
True, it isn't the most functional phone on the market but it absolutely destroys WinMo and Symbian and all the Nucleus and Linux based phones out there with what the phone actually does. A Razr compared to an iPhone is like a stone-age carriage compared to a modern car... - brundlefly76, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8He hasn't even had it for 24 hours and it has crashed twice already?
- TBolt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Interesting review. I figured as much--for business, school and power users who actually need a smartphone instead of an iPod, the iPhone just doesn't compete with the Treo, Blackberry or other devices.
- superkendall, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4The iPhone is for people that Work to Live. The phones you mentioned are for people that Live to Work.
- DanH, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4it needs an IM client!!!!!!!
- tomzZz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Notice the frameworks in the crash log:
e.g. /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreSurface.framework/CoreSurface - Aggaman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It must be absolutely divine then. I saw you on various sites the other day saying how much it would suck.
Next, Flag564 will be posting a positive review. - awhiteflame, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Now that's very intriguing...
One of Leopard's top secrets? CoreSurface for Mac OS X! For these new .. ta-da! Multitouch Macs! - rediff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Except for 1) Mail: "..not being able to select chunk of text .." or "No Clipboard:" 2) Typing ".. frustrated by the keyboard layout..." 3)Wi-Fi: "..Restore feature in iTunes (the thing was only out of the box for 30 minutes) and that fixed it" 4)no file-pickers 5)CRASHES "The iPhone Mail app has crashed for me twice so far" .. everything looks good there!!
- EXIDY, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Edit Preference to select Manual Sync ... if that's what you want, but, in general, leave the work up to iTunes!!! IMHO
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I can't wait for someone to find that in a future build of Leopard. That'll be an awesome day :)
- dakboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2SW engineers tend to suck at UI design. Apple's SW engineers implemented something designed by their excellent UI & HCI interface designers.
- superkendall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Way to cherrpick points - you managed with that to bypass things like beiang able to email pages instead of cut&psating them, him liking the keyboard overall, andonly one of the phones needing a restore to work with WiFi (mike works flawlessly as do most others).
- nephilonic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Gah, I use To-Do's a lot, I really wish the calendar app included these from iCal. I could use the notes app, however it doesn't allow me to sync up to notes on my mac... so I'm up ***** creek without a paddle with this issue.
Theres a few other things that bug me with the iPhone. I'm not going to get one until these sorta things (no file browser, no copy/pasting, no 3g, etc) get fixed/updated. - pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2i don't like this "feature" either, but it's the way pretty much all pdas work. the way the iphone does it sounds exactly like palm.
- EXIDY, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Perhaps you're not the target market ... at no point has Apple positioned the iPhone as a so called "smartphone" replacement -- especially not a corporate client (Jobs insinuates more to come ...). Turns out there seems to be quite a large target population - with or without corporate interest.
- brundlefly76, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1If you think the iPhone is suitable for mobile business users you do not travel on business more then once a month, and not far.
No spare battery option, 3G tethered modem support, or one handed operation is not even in the realm of possible.
The Sprint 8830 coming out next month is near perfect. - Aggaman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah it was a good review. Most I have seen focus on the UI. That's the real deal, besides whatever other deficiencies the phone has. I really think that this is a turning point for mobile devices. Just as the Mac introduced the GUI to the mass market, the iPhone will do the same for multitouch.
I predict that in 5 or 6 years you will not be able to buy a mobile phone or portable device without some sort of multi touch interface. Whether or not Apple will still be in the business of selling such devices then is up for debate, but they've done users everywhere a service by producing a workable multitouch consumer device.
Nokia and other handset makers really need to go back to the drawing board, and soon. - superkendall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I prefer manually dragging myself, but you can simulate that effect with an iPhone specific playlist that you keep synched.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Because flash is too slow to use as a temporary store.
- rwallen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1When I take it to work though I usually plug it in and listen through itunes so it stays charged.
- Loyaleagle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I would assume they will just get you another one....and the SIM thing is a known issue...
- infobhan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I think notes will Sync with Mail's notes in Leopard. My guess is they were planning to release Leopard at the same time, but it got delayed and they were left without a notes app on the computer.
- crazybrit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1*****, looks like it only syncs automatically then. Syncing manually works better in a lot of situations.
- superkendall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's worth more than $600. I paid $250 for my RAZR just to have it torture me for years, why would I not be willing to pay twice the price to use something that is actually enjoyable to use?
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Stupid double post. Soz.
- rwallen, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5I'm having issues with the ipod functionality in itunes with mine. It won't let me drag and drop music onto the iphone, instead I have to sync playlists to it. It isn't that this is difficult it's just extra steps to get my music on the phone. When the music is on the phone I can't play any of it through itunes, it's all greyed out. It is doing this on both mine and my wife's phones, I think this is pretty silly and hopefully I'm just doing something wrong.
- deadbaby, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Why does it cost $600? It has a huge screen and 8GB of storage.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Desktop OS X has the ability to 'pause' applications by basically revoking the privilege for them to use clock cycles. You end up with an open app which can be frozen and unfrozen literally instantaneously and only takes up minimal RAM in the meantime.
I can't think of any reasons why the iPhone doesn't pause apps that don't need to continuously run in the same way. - JesseJ, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1A good read! I see the iPhone was rushed out and that deadlines were missed and there hasn't been enough time for testing
They propably will fix in a future update and you need to install itunes to get the update and then you have itunes installed and can start buying stuff from itunes and then your in an infinite apple loop. - willdaddy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2sounds like it hasn't finished syncing yet
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Here is something most people on Digg wont understand. If you have fingernails, aka my gf, you will have a real hard time using the keyboard.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3"His blog often seeks to refute criticism of Steve Jobs, Apple and its products."
Only when the criticism is wrong. He was one of those who stood up against those two idiots who were saying that an Apple wireless card could be hacked in the same way as a third party card with no proof whatsoever. Plus, his jackass of the week is usually accurate when it comes to idiots reporting negatively on Apple news without knowing what they're talking about.
If you browse the site, there's quite a lot of criticism of Apple too; dotMac for one and the Fix The ***** Finder campaign. Put it this way, if he's a fanboy then all Digg users could learn a lesson from him. - infobhan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You are quite wrong. I'm coming from several generations of Treos (most recent being the Treo 700p). The iPhone is far superior. The large screen makes a huge difference for web browsing. For email, there's not much difference except that it looks a lot nicer on the iPhone.
- sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1what makes you think the phone has ram?
- insomniac8400, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Ok, it has a slick ui, and nothing else special? Why is it 600 bucks?
- wheresaldo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+31.5 hours in the phone, no activation yet... their support does not have a clue... called 1866-907-3484, then 1877-419-4500, then 1800 331-0500... no luck... I want my money back... I'm with AT&T already... cannot move my SIM chip from my old phone to the new phone like any other GSM phone... iPhone suck!
- superkendall, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You've got Mail!
Which can reach more people than MMS. Wht do you use MMS for apart from sending photos, whcih you can do just as well with email?
MMS is for loosers with phones that cannot properly handle email. - dizam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0The price of something is completely unrelated to the cost or the value... if fan boys are willing to pay $ 600 for the iphone, why will Apple charge less? besides, sometimes the high price tag makes it even more attractive...
- CeeAyy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I have to agree with hiro on this one. I really wanted the iPhone until I actually used it. I have a Palm Treo and I use the To Do list and Task functions often. Putting everything in notes on the iPhone is not a good solution for me. I really wanted this phone but now I am just more interested in the next iPod.
As for being APPLE's target market, I am in that group. They just missed the mark with me. I don't have a Treo because I use it for work. I don't NEED a smartphone. I use my phone for everyday life. I was really hoping that the iPhone would be better because I really don't like the interface of the Treo. It's clunky, especialy compared to iPhone. Also, the Treo crashes ALOT.
When the iPhone improves I will buy it then; it will improve.
I love Apple computers and have been buying them since 1996. I just bought a new MacBook Pro two weeks ago and I was really looking forward to the iPhone, but it's not quite a homerun to me; more like a ground rule double. It's a great iPod and a good phone but it is lacking a few features that I use regularly. Oh, and when will it get games... -
