    Who all has an iphone? what is your favorite apps?

    my 3 favorite apps would have to be:

    pandora > free streaming music app has tons of sh!t to listen to - no need to upload sh!t to your iphone

    spanish (lastminute.com) > cool app that has conversational spanish written out and says it as well - great tool

    sports tap > i can get all of my sport stats and game info

    ironically I'm on mine typing this post! The 3gs are way awesome and mine is a 16gig which is way more than I'll ever need. I'm still trying to figure out all the diff apps and what not, and am frustrated about the whole flash player thing, but other than that I totally love this thing

    ya i just recently got mine - i have never been on for crazy phones but i had to upgrade due to my old phone being a POS and for 200$ you can't beat it. definitely one of the best purchases i've made in a long time. they have apps for everything and internet speeds rock!

    No iPhone here. I think they're cool and all, but I really have no use for a phone that does anything beyond making a phone call and maybe snapping a low-quality photo every now and then.

    GPS, internet, videos, YouTube, international time, ect... It's just more than I need so I got a $100 LG from Costco that was free after contract. lol

    On that note, my girlfriend recently got an iPod Touch which is basically an iPhone without the phone part. Cool and all but, again, more than I need since I'll never use the other features and need more storage space for portable media. I'm good with my 80GB Zune.

    I recommend getting Opera as you browser on it.. faster and more secure than FireFox.. oh it's free also. but no iPhone here... But I plan on getting one later on down the road when they have more storage so I can put my 4500 songs and other media on it w/ out filling one up

    I have had mine for quite some time now...and just bought the wife a new 3G. The best app is still by far the internet browser. I use mine more than I ever thought I would especially for business.

    I'm pretty spiteful towards iPhones due to all the teenage girls. OMG LOOK WHAT DADDY BOUGHT ME NOW I'M POPULAR OMG OMG OMG!!!!! ****'s annoying. I was at a party and this d-bag who got one was trying to get everyone crowded around him to watch youtube videos, but it wouldn't work. Classic.

    As an anime fan, I gotta recommend not hating something just because of it's fanbase. I used to hate series because they got popular, but later went to watch them and some were actually decent or even good.

    Check out the iPod. If it suits your needs and you like it then pick one up. Just ignore the retarded Apple fanboys/fangirls and don't be a jack@ss with an Apple sticker on his car.

    Don't knock it 'til you try it.

    I don't hate iPhones, if I felt like dropping 200 on a phone that would be my first choice, I just hate pretty much everyone I've met who owns one. I own an iPod(classic 80gb>touch all the way), and will soon own a MacBook, but you wont see me parading around with either like it makes me cool. I just wouldn't spend so much money on a phone, all I need to do is call people and occasionally use my Razr's(which was free) garbage camera every now and then. I'd just rather spend my money elsewhere. And I will never put an Apple sticker on anything lol.

    mms? u sure?

    "Unfortunately, most of the standard cellphone features that were missing from the first iPhone are still missing. There's still no voice dialing, video recording, copy-and-paste, memory-card slot, Bluetooth stereo audio or phone-to-phone photo sending (MMS). And when the battery needs replacement after a couple of years, you'll still have to pay Apple $86 for a replacement."

    even 1st iphone can get these features - they got hacks for everything. no need for memory slot when you got 8 or 16gb + usb connectivity. for 200$ now you can't beat it. i haven't played w/ the VNC, or other remote options but i plan on using it to login to my servers at work to run needed services

    You don't even have to "hack" them...you can get all of these features and more in the app store for free. Free voicedial programs, free picture messaging, etc..

    I would much rather have a phone that lets me choose which features I want and add them individually for free than to have a phone with features I would never use. Why is having picture messaging a necessity? Or for that matter a good idea? Can your phone take a picture and then send it to my email address instead? Can you add applications to your phone without a computer?

    It never ceases to amaze me that I have never heard of someone complain about an iphone that has used it for more than a month. Are there fanboys that give it a bad name? Sure. Are there idiots that like the phone because it's trendy and fashionable? Sure. Are there people like myself that has owned it for quite some time now and swear that it's the best tool to come in a long time? Absolutely.

    I carried trio's for some time, had a blackberry or two and thought they were all decent phones but I always had a complaint or two, or three, or more. Now that I use the iphone exclusively, I can honestly say that it's the best phone for me by a mile. Now does that mean it's for everyone? Of course not. If you are happy with your phone, great. Do you use the internet on your phone and email on your phone as much as me? Maybe not. Do you need google maps at your fingertips because you travel a lot. Who knows?

    My advice would be to actually try and wait to knock the iphone after you have had a chance to use one for more than 15 minutes.

    werd - only thing i dislike about the phone is there is not regular keys but i'm sure i will get over that in time; i'm just so used to texting blind b/c i memorized key placement

    Smooze(sp) is such a cool app

    just let it listen to viturally any song for 15 seconds and it will tell you what the name of the song/artist/album

    plus you can then listen to the music video on youtube or buy the song from itunes

    I have a first gen and 3g iphone.

    Yes you can send picture text, just have the SSH the phone and add SwirlyMMS.
    Video recorders are free for the phone.

    my first gen is unlocked and jailbroken, my 3g is jailbroken.

    also my phone is setup that makes it impossible for someone else to use (good for noisy g/f's)

    Guess I'm an Iphone nerd, best phone out..no....my fav. yes!

    i miss my unlocked/jailbroken 1st gen, but the app store is easing my pain with the 3G... when I get bored I'll jailbreak this one too haha.
