#4 ISNT TRUE! i switched phones with my auntie for a few and i put my SIM card in there, it worked fine, you just have to add ALL the contact info again since nothing is saved, you basically have a blank slate. but i did have multimedia and since iPhone isn’t capable of sending picture messages, my multimedia wouldn’t work when i switched back to my regular phone =\so u have to be careful with that.

The iphone is simply a cool little toy. Certainly not a practical phone. Just try answering a call with one hand. This slipery little device is one of the worst phones I have ever used.

My boss gifted me with an 8 gig Iphone. I already had a contract with ATT, using a Blackberry 8700 on an unlimited data plan. I switched my contact over to the Iphone, which extended my contract another two years as stated above. My understanding was that I had 30 days to change my mind. I did change my mind within that time, but I’m still stuck with the contract. When I deactivated the Iphone, they had me switch the SIM card from the Iphone to the Blackberry. I found this odd, because I didn’t have to do it when I activated the Iphone. Without the SIM card, most of the Iphone still works, albeit with limitations. I don’t have the phone, obviously, but I do have access to email, web browser, stocks, weather, maps and all internet functions in any WiFi area. The Ipod DOES work…BUT..is only limited to stuff that I put in while it was active. Without the SIM card, Itunes won’t recognize the thing. So….why not just put the SIM card back in? I removed it from the Blackberry, put it back in the Iphone and surprise, surprise.. the Iphone is fully active again, with phone, EDGE network service, full Itune access, software updating and everything. And it’s my cheaper Blackberry Unlimited data service plan too - 35 bucks a month (no phone plan, so phone is 40 cents a minute…but I hardly ever use the phone) instead of 60 bucks a month. The Iphone is a really neat gadget, but it just doesn’t work for me the way the Blackberry does. The Iphone keyboard is a PITA, but the browser is really neat. Setting up email is easy, but retrieval options are too limited and slow. Setting up email on Blackberry is a pain, but the ‘push’ technology is great. I do a lot of texting, so the BB keyboard beats the Iphone hands down. The BB phone can’t hold a candle to the Iphone - and the Iphone handles contact info better. Too bad I don’t use that much…
In short, the Iphone is a great piece of hardware that has some bugs that can be worked out and I’m sure will be in later models. Like the non-user replaceable battery or the headphone jack that only takes SOME Ipod headphones and requires an adapter for 99 percent of the headphones on the market. I was thinking of going to the ATT store and getting another SIM card so I wouldn’t have to swap cards all the time, but now I’m afraid it’ll add more years to my contract. So…I’ll use the thing around the house and the office and switch the card every month or so to update the software or load music. I hate using Itunes, so I don’t see myself using the Ipod much anyway…my other mp3 players are all drop and drag simple and much, much smaller.
So..my iPhone is just a toy. My Blackberry is a tool.

When it comes out in Europe all these problems won’t be there because we’ll be allowed to use a SIM card in it. Would that make it a great phone!!!

1. No easy way to deactivate edge to avoid outrageous overseas roaming data charges (very lame)

2. can’t receive multimedia messages in a normal way. So far I haven’t been able to see a single image from my nephew, though I have tried going to the damnable website and putting in the ridiculous passcode. Totally asinine.

Otherwise, I like my phone. Really.

My fiance has an Iphone and was one of the many that HAD TO HAVE IT. It has a lot of great features that you wish to have on a phone. of course it has downfalls. The phone is ok but you can zoom in or out. There is no flash for the camera. You cant send a pic to another phone without having to go to a web page to get the picture. This would be a down fall.
The connection is slow but yeah what do you expect. Technology will get better as we hope the iphone will.
Forever faithful to my loving fiance
