Convince me to buy an I-Phone...do it

Supposedly they are dropping a new I-Phone next year, so I think I will wait, but continue to explore the other Verizon type phones

DO NOT buy and iPhone. They are overrated pieces of ****. I'm pretty sure Verizon has a similar phone that just came out. Here, this site might help you:

28 Reasons Why The iPhone Sucks:

Just Google "iPhone Sucks" you'll get tons of info

I hate those websites that say this thing sucks.

Some of them don't even have the thing. Pathetic.

Wait for a new version to come out.

My dad just got one and he loves it.
here are the pros:
-great if your not always around a computer and are a business-ey type person
-syncs up efortlessly with you iCal or palm calenders
-8 gig iPod which is great
-receives email from almost any service (e.g. Yahoo, .mac, POP)

here are the cons:
-$20 for internet and SMS texting,
-kinda really slow internet
-youll have to switch plans
-the service area is a crap chute. I know its horrible in D.C.
-all in all, after warranties and internet access and stuff, itll cost you about $800-$900


BOTTOM LINE: sure it may be expensive, but its totally worth it.

GET THE iPHONE

Like I said before, Verizon offers a phone which appears to be close to the iPhone. It's probably better than the iPhone. I don't understand the deal with this whole "everything Apples touches turns to gold" mentality that most of America seems to have these days. Apple is so damn overrated. Anyway... the Verizon phone seems to be your best bet, but if you just have to have an iPhone, then just wait until your Verizon contract runs out. Or you could get one of those iClones. They're all over eBay.

but any smart person would in fact listen to those sites, cause its all true.

anything with an "i" in front of it=garbage.

Whats the name of the Verizon one?

It's a link to a page with 28 reasons why the iPhone sucks. Either that or the list was originally 15, but they added 13 more. I can't remember off hand.

I have the new MOTO Q and it's the best phone I've ever had. It pretty much has everything the iPhone has, plus Verizon sells it so you won't have to cancel your contract with them if you wanted to buy it. You'd basically just have to upgrade your plan to the data plan and pay the cost for the phone.

There are obviously still some differences between the Q and the iPhone, but I guess it really depends mostly on how much of a gadget junkie you are as far as how much you care about all that other stuff. If you really care about texting and stuff, you're pretty much going to have to get a phone with a QWERTY keyboard unless you do get an iPhone. It takes some getting used to, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly.

Another route you could take: buy an iTouch. It basically has all of the same features as an iPhone, except for the fact that it isn't a phone. This way, you can get an idea what an iPhone is like without switching plans and paying all the extra charges for something you may not necessarily end up liking.
