Disgusted by iPhone users reviewing the TP with bias on CNET - Page 7

why? the touch flo interface is a joke. there was to much hype not enough substance on the touch pro. they could have made it way better but failed to do it. waiting so long to release something outdated really wasnt what i had planned.

i use it as i like the windows format but a jail broken iphone beats it hands down as far as aps and touch interface. i have to say i missed the full qwerty keyboard but havent really used it much since my iphone

Not to defend Iphone, but some stuff are wrong in above info.

I have Iphone 3G(wife), and Touch Pro(me).

Plan on ATT does blow - 450 rollover, unlimited data, no text, offpeak starts at 9PM - pay 85/mo after taxes - offers NO INSURANCE. You break it, you pay 200 for repairs.

SERO - 30/mo plan+ insurance=43 after taxes

I initially got the iphone 3g for myself, loved the screen, simple to use etc.

Worst happened on the first month of usage - 3G was horrible, couldn't even talk which no one was able to explain. It worked fine after update 2.1 though.

I gave it to mywife and came back to WM so I can continue to use Slingmobile.

SPRINT RULES.

yes slingbox! iPhone users don't even know about slingbox mobile... i've encountered many and they all say the same thing "wait.. you're watching tv? where are you getting the feeed? what?! from your house?! your cablebox?!"
best reactions ever. i don't hate the iPhone though, i just hate these obnoxious apple fanboys that can't ever give credit where credit is due. the iPhone does what it's limited to do incredibly well, but it's still lacking in a lot of features that would anger a lot of us wm users if they were suddently stricken from our phones.

hmm can the iPhone even tether? i remember hearing that there was an app like wifirouter for the iPhone when the 3g version came out, but apple quickly took it down... have they released a commercial version through their store since then? if not, wow cause that's how i'm able to use my computer right now cause my internets down.

They are able to use ORB to watch tv now though. I didn't go for it since I have to buy a TV Tuner that supports it.

Yes, you can tether if you jailbreak it, but it isn't as simple as WM phones.

I did jailbreak my wife's, but App store stuff are just better for now. Really no point in jailbreaking for now.

On the side note, I showed skyfire to mywife - showed off some porns lol, and she was impressed lol.

well sprint needs to get the word out better before apple catches up and gets all these internet sites to develop apps for their phones too.. i've gone to sprint site more than ever in the last couple months. i've yet to see advertising for the touch pro/diamond on their homepage where they show different phones. how sad.
ha if you jailbreak your iPhone, it voids your warranty doesn't it... not that it's a good warranty anyway... my friend is having the hardest time getting a replacement for his iPhone right now and he's thinking of switching to the fuze.

You can just restore it to factory default before you take it back to apple. The reason has to be pretty good to get an replacement, and it all depends on who you talk to.

I had to get an appointment w/ genius at a apple store to get it replaced lol. I was like wtf... an appointment?

i'd be angry if i was forced to go with the simply everything plan like some sprint reps have tried to force in the past, that's for sure. if a carrier i was with only had the iPhone and forced me to pay 80, i'd leave them for sprint and the touch pro.
