LOL!

And this doesn't cover what happens when:

a) you hack it to break free of the grasp of American Telephone and Telegraph service plans (only to have it bricked with the subsequent software update), or

b) like many others that were "first" in line to get this, they wound up with an expensive paperweight when they tried to get the thing activated the same day they brought it.

That's great. Which is why I just bought a Treo 800w last week to use on my existing Spring SERO plan, which gives me 500 minutes of talk time, unlimited data, unlimited internet, unlimited text messages, and unlimited picture mail, for only $30 a month. Anyone with any other data plan on Sprint or any other carrier is basically a tool.

The iPhone is just missing so many important features.

Are there any other phones out there with at least 8GB for video? That would have been the main reason I would want an iPhone.

Hate to say it but the it's iBrick the sequel.


One of the worst engineering designs, made to dupe consumers in thinking they have the best phone ever. No memory card slot, no video, not hearing aid compatiable, etc.


I compared the iBrick to my phone (HTC Mogul 6800), Brian's Treo 800w, and the Samsung Instinct. Here are the results from phonescoop.

There are a bunch of phones on the market that are way better than the iBrick.


LG's Dare allows an eye-popping 120 fps playback on video.

You also have the LG Chocolate version 3 as well as the latest Blackberry.

WRONG. You loose your ability to think, and deduce, over time, and what is worse is that little children are now using these brain melting machines, and eating mcdonalds. If i were a parent, i wouldn't allow such idiotic devices, i would take my children to places on weekends like forests and the like. Heck, i might not even have a TV for THEIR sake. I would, however, purchase newspapers and magazines for them, and teach them to think and realize, and question.

it has nothing to do with that. It isn't the actual radiation, but the activity itself, it decreases the brain's ability to communicate with the various levels of conscienceness, and only the worse conscience becomes the prominent personality.

It stimulates the development of various disorders, like ADD and all. Though i will say i have what may be called a social type disorder, it wasn't stimulated by machines, but rather, just genes, sometimes things happen. However, in all other respects, i am good mentally, though xosialization is a big plus, it isn't one of my strengths...
