Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / June 2008iPhone 3G - What DIDN'T you hear?
I didn't hear any upgrades to its Safari, like Flash support, did you? I didn't hear "multitasking" because it eats the battery? That's like my Palm Pilot was. I didn't hear about a user swappable battery. I didn't hear about a removeable memory card I could hot swap to put the pictures on that would fit my PC (or Mac). Well, it has an earphone jack. That's radical for Apple. >I didn't hear (whines and whimpers of the Nokia fanboy deleted) I heard: Price is cut in half - Now $199. I heard 3G - download speeds faster than any Nokia I heard Corporate support - MS Exchange push email I heard true GPS I heard the apps store, with fantastic apps, many FREE. fantastic games with the iphone itself being the game controller, tilt to move. I heard International sales. I heard 6 million of original iPhone sold. I heard sale starts July 11 of 3G iPhone. Same thing we have been hearing,_heard_ for months now. Still no actual product. >>I didn't hear > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > I heard sale starts July 11 of 3G iPhone.

Any phone is a thousand times faster than the snail-like sellular data network called 3G. If you're not standing there with your phone up against the panel antennas, 600-800K is "normal", except during the day when other users are sharing your sector, then it's 500-700K if you're lucky. His crack about Nokia left me stunned. How can it be faster than ANYONE ELSE's 3G phone on the SAME ATT SYSTEM that's only getting 700Kbps, nearly putting the phone to sleep waiting for something to load. I don't care about Nokia...my phone is a Motorola Z6m on EVDO/CDMA. The tablet's Bluetooth IS asleep waiting for data. We could compare the tablet's speed potential with an iPhone on wifi if the damned "new" iPhone ran Flash so it could run the speedtest websites....(c; >"Kevin Weaver" <kevinkeithweaver@sbcglobal.net> wrote in news:g3g3k.2140 >$L_.1953@flpi150.ffdc.sbc.com: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >ELSE's 3G phone on the SAME ATT SYSTEM that's only getting 700Kbps, nearly >putting the phone to sleep waiting for something to load Cause the Safari broswer is FASTER, thank you. . >I don't care about Nokia...my phone is a Motorola Z6m on EVDO/CDMA.

The browser....ANY browser...isn't any faster than that PINHOLE into the internet called 3G or 2G. Let's test this theory. STORE, if you can, a 5GB webpage on the iPhone or Mac. Store the same webpage on a PC using Firefox, IE or Opera. Uh, uh, uh....no fair if the webpage has anything the Safari won't render.... Boot 'em off the local storage and time it. What? Your stopwatch can't measure milliseconds? Do the same over ATT Wireless' 3G pinhole from the net. Times the same....hype or no hype...because the NET PINHOLE is what's slowing it down not the browser! How stupid. >>I didn't hear > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > I heard sale starts July 11 of 3G iPhone. Did you hear about voice commands to dial the phone like my MotoROKR Z6m? >>I didn't hear > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Price is cut in half - Now $199. Which makes it more expensive than a number of smartphones with more functionality > I heard 3G - download speeds faster than any Nokia Speed is determined by network, not product. You do know how this stuff works, don't you? > I heard Corporate support - MS Exchange push email How is that cutting edge? The last three phones I've had have supported that. > I heard true GPS Again, hardly cutting-edge. More like catch up. > I heard the apps store, with fantastic apps, many FREE. > fantastic games with the iphone itself being the game controller, > tilt to move. Yet to be seen. > I heard International sales. So? > I heard 6 million of original iPhone sold. So? > I heard sale starts July 11 of 3G iPhone. Oh boy. |
