Will the iPhone Be Taken by Storm?

The Storm has been panned by ALL the critics. Its a counter-intuitive piece of 'iPhone paranoia' junk.

Its impossible to beat the iPhone - RIMM should stick to what they know best - boring phones that do secure email from a server farm in Canada.

The Storm doesnt even have wifi.

Nokia Gets No Respect Against Apple, RIM

The iPhone isnt a phone - its a small computer running OSX.
Just HOW is anyone going to match it?
Its also an iPod - in 6 years, no-one has even matched the iPod - its still at 70%.

Once again - just HOW does anyone beat Apple when they have ALL the pieces, and no-one else can use them?

What's Better: BlackBerry or iPhone?

OK.

The article was not researched, and is biased towards Blackberry.
These things happen - proper analysis based on research and testing it aint, but thats normal in the world of cheap blogs.

BUT then the 'author' decides to weigh in on the comments and tell us that we are all in the thrall of Steve Jobs!
Thats simply insulting, and considering the stance of the writer, is hypocritical.

There are many posts here from users of both products and the overwhelming 'bias' is towards Apple.

Point 2 is idiotic - anecdotal crap such as 'my friends brothers great-aunt dropped her iphone and it smashed into a thousand pieces killing 19 people' isnt effective unless you are talking to 85 year old women gossiping over coffee.

I love the comments from the 'text/email heavy' 'business' users. LOL! High comedy!
What a bunch of sad nitwits!
If 'business' users had their way, we would accept terrible products at grossly inflated prices that never changed or improved.

Sorry 'business' guys you are NOT the leaders or innovators that you think you are, and I doubt your typing skills are anything more than average.

Typing on a small keyboard has natural limitations that can NOT be fixed unless you have a full-sized keyboard or simply call instead of email or text.
Because of this, spelling and grammatical errors are forgiven and as long as the sense of the message is there; its good enough.

NO-ONE is writing complex emails, or their yearly report on a tiny keyboard - so quit with the lies.

The iPhone keyboard is at least as good as the blackberry one, but the other facilities of the iPhone make it a clear winner, unless you are unable to admit the facts.

Oh, and BTW, I have dropped my iPhone on at least 10 occasions, work in a tough environment (Marine), and it still keeps ticking. Use it to read emails from customers, and generally reply with 4 lines or less. If more explanation of a work contract is needed, I go crazy and PHONE them. Imagine that.

Met a guy in Sbux the other day with a huge dent across the back of his iPhone - it had stopped a puck at an NHL game! True story. It had not missed a beat. Starbucks, Ladner, BC, Canada. Yes we both had 'pirate' iPhones, as the idiot 'business' people at Rogers havent had the sense to get the iPhone yet.

Reason for all the anti-article comments here - article is simply inaccurate and based around the authors bias.
Try harder, Mr. Author.

Wanted, Dead or Alive: The iPhone Killer

Yes, all they ever did was add a camera and a keyboard.
The iPhone is NOT a phone, its a mini-computer with the best OS there is.
Its never going to be a cheap mass-market device, but it will be almost impossible for any phone co. to make something as good.

I will never use another kind of phone - the iPhone is the ONE!

Research in Motion: Unlike Apple, No Slowdown in Subscriber Growth

Sorry Todd, but the blackberry is a trend, not a good or even superior phone.

There is NO comparison with the iPhone - watch as Apple ramp it up and drop the price - you think Jobs is just sitting around drinking beer or something?

Watch the next quarter from Apple BLOW AWAY the guidance.

RIMM at 58 p/e is NUTS - cant last, wont last - more subscribers, less revenue? Oh dear.

Imagine If You Didn't Hate Your Mobile Carrier

The iPhone is so good it makes AT&T look much better than they are.

The numbers of customer satisfaction are, of course, representative.
Its silly to say they are not.
The iPhone is an EXCEPTIONAL combination of software and hardware - something only Apple can do because they build BOTH parts.

Negative comments about the iPhone are usually from people who either havent tried it, are just miserable generally, or are paid commenters. (Astroturfing)

Could iPhone Become the Best Selling Smartphone on the Planet?

Its obvious to those of us (maybe 5 million?!) who have used an iPhone that this is the 'next big thing'.
Its useability is so far beyond the rest its just not funny.

I have had mine for 5 months now, and it has been as solid as a rock, despite my 3rd party apps etc. I might add that I am in Canada on Rogers, so no support - but who needs it?
I know that some people hate this, but: It Just Works!

I fully expect a 16 gig in January, which I will immediately buy, and I expect the next upgrade to include some seriously great apps.

RIMM is a good co., but no-one can live in a vacuum - which is how the cartel of phone makers has been behaving.

Sorry, boys, its time for a change!

As for the 5 million rumor - well why not?
If the Europeans use it, they will buy it.
Maybe not the UK, where they dont like change and have smaller disposable incomes, but Germany France and all the rest? They have big disposable income.

Dont EVER underestimate this remarkable phone - if I had to go back to a Razr or a Nokia, I would be VERY unhappy indeed.

5 million? I'll go for 4 million, with 12 million by end of 2008.
