tsondaboy 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just passed in front of the Omotesando store that handles the iphone. The line was ridiculous, I make it that there were more than 3000 peops lining up! Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 OK, tongue was firmly in cheek. As it happens, I agree with all you have said. Fact is, though, that these are the things the kids are expecting to be able to do with their phones. Link to post Share on other sites

Ezorisu 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Not sure how the 2nd-gen iPhone will be (and this is probably dependent on locale and carrier), but the original iPhone could not send traditional picture messages by SMS protocols. In order to force you to buy into a carrier "data plan", it could only send pictures via the internet email portal. At least the new iPhone is 3G. The original was legacy/obsolete technology when it was released. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 looking at the GPS sat pics, they are about 1 year old. But that's Google trying to make people pay for this novel toy. But I like the idea 'cos it will help you steer clear of the wrong ghettos and losing your life there instead of losing your life in the right ghetto. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Not sure what all the rage is about this new phone, that some where silly enough to queue outside for four days. I still got my nearly two year old AU phone with the following functions all of which I use : One seg TV = Free PC site viewer, yes I use the sukaihoudai service of course, not ready to go bankrupt just yet! = Fixed monthly fee even if I use it 24hrs a day. Of course e-mail and c-mail as all phones have anyway again free! Keitai saifu, very handy where stores accept it. Fm radio GPS Free! MP3 type music player, can easily download any music from my computer for free, that I already have, so no need to pay anymore. = Free to use and install music 2mb camera, crap compared to the latest 5m cams in some phones but never the less it is still quite clear. Video player Microsoft word, excel, publisher, power point viewer, so can view my microsoft files on my phone like on a pc Yahoo messenger = free of course And of course bar code reader software as all phones have got plus the usual bunch of other things like a dictionary, alarms, schedulers and all those other bits that is loaded onto all phones nowadays. So unless my phone breaks or I f;:+ it up I can't really see me rushing to get that I-phone thing. Link to post Share on other sites

Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Interesting, i really didn't think this would be big in japan, especially since the JP phones were already awesome, watch TV etc. The Iphone 3g just released here, it's great, but also stupid at the same time. Expensive call rates, only a 2mp camera, you can't send picture messages, etc etc etc. yet another example of Aussies getting shafted. Link to post Share on other sites
