iPhone

I tried one out today for a while and I really liked it. The screen was really nice, and after some getting used to, the browser worked great. Heck even the keypad wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did find entering long messages to be a pain though. I'm used to typing with my Sidekick, and I can type pretty fast, and the iPhone couldn't keep up sometimes. Seriously though once you get used to it typing is a breeze.

Another thing I couldn't get over was the plan prices. The cheapest one was 60 a month, and if you wanted unliminted texting, that would be another 20. So pretty much I would be paying an extra 25 bucks a month campared to my plan to be able to watch YouTube whenever. Ehh, not worth it.

I was under the assumption that the iPhone had brodband. The youtube videos I watched loaded up pretty fast, and so did the few webpages I visited. Even if its not broadband its still pretty fast.

And if I did go your way, how would somebody call me? Or what if I wanted to send an email? You mean I gotta lug around my laptop everywhere I go? Pshhhhhhhh

im not positive on this but i think an evdo account gets you phone access to the network also.

or JUST USE SKYPE LUL

Not everywhere, silly pants.

The fact that it's not available literally everywhere is the only thing keeping me from doing just that, though. It's a sweet deal.

Now I've never used Skype, but does skype give you a phone number that someone from a landline can call you back on? I thought you just got some random 0001234567 number, bit then again what do I know?

And I thought that it cost money to use skype to call an actual phone.

I'm not saying that the iPhone is the best choice, but in my opinion substuiting a laptop for a phone is a huge hassle. But then again what do I know? Oh and a laptop can't text message. That could be a deal breaker.

i know, I wasn't being very serious. carrying around a laptop in place of a cellphone wouldn't work too well

but actually, you can text message phones from AIM. add the phone number to your buddylist. I guess they really havent made a big official announcement about it, but I found out you could do it about a month ago.

just enter them so they look like so

and of course, text message phones all you want from aim, they don't charge obviously

I always say if your signal isn't strong enough your just not using a big enough antenna
