I agree with u dood.. But let me get this straight, one of the reasons vzwfanman doesnt like Apple is because the CEO looks dorky?? How old are you vzwfanman?..besides the incredible apps available for the iphone, there is more importantly functionality that no other phone is able to match such as the accelerometer and fast and crisp OS.. and vzwfanman, you also keep saying how much the design of the iphone hasnt changed much.. How about your blackberry storm you always brag about? The second model is almost identical. You dont have to love apple products to admit the iphone is a good phone.. You are just a jealous fanboy because vzw doesnt have it and everyone on this site knows it.. Oh and by the way, i wrote this article on my iphone hahaa

Theres a reason why the iphone is big but you are either completely stupid or too jealous to want to admit it..

yes but the storm design is actually decent looking. i'm just saying he's a dork. the droids accelerometer is just as fast. Again the iphone was nice when it came out 2 years ago, but now it's just old news and i'm getting sick of all the kids carrying around an iphone. blackberry bold FTW. the iphone commercials are the most worthless i've ever seen btw. just get an ipod touch! and lastly..how many times do i have to say i'm not jealous, and i'm not totally stupid because i'm in college. :-)... if anyone over let's say 35 has an iphone than that's just weird because it's a toy phone. so i hope your not over 35 tfelx. :-)

I am 24 and i really dont think age has anything to do with owning an iphone as i see doctors at work carrying iphones on their waist.. The blackberry storm does not look any better than the iphone..the iphone is a very sleek looking phone and i am willing to bet that apple will keep making the iphone better as the years pass.. Even if motorola did step the competition with the droid, im sure apple will retaliate with a new and better iphone in the summer..i saw concept pics of the new iphone and even though they are unofficial pics, the possibities are endless as to what they can do with the iphone and i cant wait to see it.. I am sold on the iphone and will continue to upgrade with an iphone until something beats it..

Ahhhh, so you are only attracted to products whose corporate leaders are very good looking men. Ok, we get it now.

The president of Apple is dorky looking? HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF A COMPUTER MANUFACTURER. OF COURSE HE IS A DORK. Derp.

Are you serious to think that this is stupid? It would be like BMW deciding to drop its price on a 3 series to combat GM releasing an over priced Buick. Like it or not Apple has a name where Droid is still new. Not saying its not good but its not proven yet like the Iphone.The Iphone will continue to sell because it still has a wow factor. Lets face it, it started this all

doesn't matter that they made the Iphone 3GS $99. I still don't want that phone. At least I know AT&T is worried about the Droid hehehehe.

You may not want it, like my post above says, because VZDub doesn't have it. If we ever get that 'Apple Device' that has my Regional Rep giddy, are you still going to bash apple? I still haven't seen you do any better than them. Where is your multi-million dollar phone idea? Better yet, make it, then make a better one yourself. I can't stand anti-apple fags getting all crazy about this stuff. I sell VZDub stuff, and I had an iPhone for a while. If you know how to use them, they are incredible.

Yeah, VZW is just mad because they don't have it and their arrogance made them pass on it. Now they regret it but hope and pray that they get the iPhone. The Droid would have been a better seller as a standard phone than a smart phone. Greed before thinking. VZW is a poor company when it comes to phones and what the people want. They are bust telling people what they will have. Cheating in numbers by buyin Altell still is not doing much when they are losing customers by the millions because of the iPhone. If the Storm can't knock off the iPhone, the Droid can't. The Droid lacks that sex appeal that women like. I thought the phone was just a phone, then when I found out that it was another 'iPhone killer,' I did not think much of it from then on. VZW, get at me if need someone in marketing who REALLY knows what you need to do! Arrogance and ignorance cannot keep you on top. If you want TRUE marketing skills and you are talking contract work, get at me. These old timers and stiffs cannot relate to the masses of people. All they want to do is to hold onto their jobs and get bonuses. Me, I know how to make it happen. I am saying all of this without Droid sales figures because I know it is not going to work.

They didn't cheat numbers by buying Alltel, the same can be said when Cingular bought ATT and gained almost 40% of there customer base. Over 25 Million subscribers, VZ only received 11-12 million after the merger cause they have to devise some to ATT in certain markets. You should do some research for posting. How are you going to make things happen when you don't even have your own facts straight.

Just like you can't stand anti-apple fags, I can't stand Apple Sluts. It's like you guys worship the ground apple walks on. Steve could prob ask you to clean the sh** out of his butt and apple fans would run to do it. In apple fans, everyone is suppose to want the Iphone and the people that don't want it are either apple bashers or anti-apple fags, can't we just simple not like the product. I have an Ipod touch that was given to me as a gift, is it nice yes. Do I want it as a phone, no. I don't like the way Apple does business and some of their protocols. Plus after reading my post "Apple Lover" where did I bash Apple??? I said, "doesn't matter that they made the Iphone #GS $99. I still don't want that phone. At least I know AT&T is worried about the Droid". Nothing bashing bout that... Just fact that I'm still not impressed....

i think there is somthjing with what apple take as a profit that kind of made it not worth it back when vz had a shot. I really dont want one either. The only thing i like about the phone is the capacitive touch screen and all of the accessories for it. Besides that i think it is limited in what can be done with it. If verizon got it i would think about it but would probably not get it. Reall i think the iphone is a great phone for people that like how easy it is to use. I think att sucks, atliest where i live. So in the next two monthes i am going to try out and get what ever fits me the best. I was waiting for the omnia 2 but now i really dont care cause it was suposed to be here monthes ago.
