It sucks just because you can’t get Opera on it

And it’s just a fuckin phone compared to just fuckin disaster phones. Blackberry programming turned me Emo (this crap has progressbar for executing javascript!!!)

As a phone it’s rubbish. As an iPod/ web browser / portable email client it’s great.

I would buy an ipod touch if it had built in 3g, but it doesn’t. So I won’t. So there.

Similar story for me: I’d quite like one, but:
i) the contract is a rip-off;
ii) the phone itself is overpriced (IMO)
iii) I’ve seen the state of my old phone, and the iPhone will not leave long enough to justify its cost. Previous phones have died falling in to pints, falling down stairs and from old age: I can’t give the iPhone a good home

Nonetheless, beautifully designed, as you said.

“it’s an iPod, a phone, and an “Internet communications device.” Oooh, an Internet communications device”

Slightly out of date due to the new 3G (woo hoo!) version, but still true.

The only thing more annoying that people going on and on about the iPhone is people who whine about people going on and on about the iPhone. Sorry, but it just had to be said.

If I hear, read or see any more about that infernal piece of tin, I will go nuts. If I see anyone with one, they will watch in horror as I toss it into the river, shortly thereafter followed by the owner.

I already had one teenage girl almost slam into me with her car while she was Facebooking it on Safari… I could actually see the fucking browser open, she was that close.
