You and winmacguy really need to get yourselves a room. to get a phone with the iphone features in NZ you will be looking at $800+ thats for a blackberry. imate or palm $1000+. these are corporate phones for corporate people. As never held a iphone before i can't tell you but if they are anything like a imate or palm you would look pretty stupid talking on them. |

| 555950 | 2007-06-08 08:16:00 | Judging by the 3 million iPhones that Apple is rumoured to be stockpiling in advance of them going on sale, I don't think they are going to be having any problems selling them. Just to point out a few differences between my $200 (at time of purchase) Nokia and the iPhone: I can't surf the web properly or receive full emails on my Nokia I can't watch full screen music vids on my Nokia My Nokia does not have a touch sensitive or proximity sensor screen My Nokia does not do GPS style web navigation My Nokia is smaller and fatter than the iPhone My Nokia is harder to navigate than the iPhone - Yay...not. My Nokia does not contain a navigatible office organiser... I cannot navigate my music selection on my Nokia (I dont have the music playing version) I do have a speaker phone but I can't do conference calls on my Nokia. I use my Nokia for phone calls and texts which is all I bought it for I can probably do some or many of those things fairly well on a Palm Treo, Blacberry or iMate or other similar brand of phone You can do ALL of the above very well on an iPhone as well as a few other things. Disclaimer: I am not complaining about my phone, just stating the differences in features between two types of phones. |

| 555951 | 2007-06-08 13:17:00 | who cares how many iphones apple has stockpiled? and i never said they wouldn't sell, not that supply ever guarantees demand. furthermore, your now $45 nokia is not comparable to an iphone nor blackberry. that's like comparing an '89 honda city against an '07 mecedes slk. sure they both drive from a to b, but had you bought the cheaper bmw (or luxury jap car) you'd have the mecedes luxury without the pricetag i tire of this, dont you? |

Thats his most powerful weapon, He never tires of it, Just yabba yabba yabba, apple apple apple, and the minute he runs out of worthless dribble he spits out some worthless Apple marketing dribble or sales figures, or profit margins. Lmao. This guy is a legend. |

| 555956 | 2007-06-08 20:34:00 | But it is Apple :rolleyes: and which has the bigger userbase? Microsoft or Apple? :D For hand held music players, Apple. The iPhone will be competing with the likes of Nokia, RIM, HP iPaq and Palm Treo etc who everybody would like to see improve their usability. The proof will be in how many people switch to At&T from their present provider. |
