   I was in the at&t store earlier today messing around with the iPhone. Can you get on AIM with a browser?

   I tried AIM Express but the pop up blocker would not let me access it. I then tried some javascript one especially made for the iphone but it didn’t work too well.

   Are you used to the keyboard yet? I kept missing every key, my finger is too big.

   You can use meebo, and it’s perfect to log onto aim/msn, although a client app would be much better, cause EDGE is just unacceptable sometimes.

   The keyboard seriously learns how you type, I am fucking fast at it now lol

   Everything I listed should be fixable via iTunes except for the headphone jack issue.

   Andrew Ellis, you do realize anything that breaks (the keyboard cant physically break) in the functionality of the phone is covered by a 1 year warranty. refusing to buy one is silly.

   i hope these software updates come fucking soon though!!

   as for the custom ringtones.. i dont think this will be possible for a while. unfortunately, they make way way too much money selling ring tones to allow the use of your $1.03 song

   I didn’t expect apple to make something so kickass, but then again they still had to go and fuck things up by installing OS X. I would much rather run the thing on Windows ME….

   Most of the problems I’ve had with mine are merely software related which can easily be fixed. Other than that, I’m fairly happy with it.

    Eric, is it really silly?

    1) The phone only costs $220 to manufacture, so they have it marked up about %50.
    2) You have to lock yourself into a two year contract with one of the worst phone carriers, AT&T.
    3) You have to pay $100 a month to use the iPhone.
    4) After the first year’s use, you have spent about $1,700 on this iPhone.

    All of this breaks down into the category of: Do you really NEED this?

    Spending that much on a phone is just silly.

    And after dealing with my iPod and it’s warranty, the return policy is a joke. I had to send my iPod in 5 TIMES to get a new one… When I knew the product was broken.

    My headphone jack was broken, and the iPod would also lock up all the time.

    Each time I got my iPod back they said they fixed it by replacing the hard drive. But no once did they fix the headphone jack. Also after about another weeks worth of use, the iPod would start to lock up again.

    Honestly, I’m not impressed with Apple’s support from my experience with my iPod. But I’m probably just a rare case of the bad support.

    And don’t get me wrong, I love Apple and all of their products. I just think it’s stupid how they can make things so expensive and people actually will fork it out and buy these things.

    I guess most of the people who buy these things are uneducated when it comes to understanding what things should really cost.

    ipod video - 300.00
    PDA = 200.00
    phone = 250 for a decent one
    (or) pda phone = 300

    total: 600+ (note the cost of the apple iphone.. 8gb…) pretty reasonable if you ask me.

    yes ALL electronics have glitches, and apple knows how to market well.

    one more correction. i am paying 45 a month to use the phone for 450 minutes and 200 text. I added 15.00 to the bill for 1500 text.. 60.00 total is 40.00 away from the 100 stated above.

    .. yes it would be silly to not buy one. lol

    It all boils down to if you can afford it too.

    I’m not saying i wouldn’t love to have one, but it’s way out of my budget.

    I paid $10 for my phone, and I pay $50 a month for 1,500 minutes, 1,000 texts, internet access, picture mail, and a few other things.

    To be honest, I hate the shit out of my phone though. It sucks. It was good at first, but now it’s just terrible.

    Maybe if the iPhone was supported by another carrier such as Verizon or Sprint I would probably get it because I’m sure they’d offer the phone for way cheaper if you sign up for a 2 year contract
