I am thinking of purchasing an iPhone, but would like some feedback.

Those who own or have owned one, what did you like/dislike about it.

Thanks.

I love my Iphone but I will tell you what can be improved on it.


1. The "edge" network is pretty slow. If you plan on using it for a lot of internet on the go, you may want to consider another option. It will pickup wi-fi if a router is around and the internet works blazing fast on that.

2. The touch screen interface takes a little while to get use to and is a little frustrating at first.

3. Any internet site that requires java, the application on the site can't be used. For example, I like to play games on yahoo but I can't on my phone. I also like to listen to my sirius over the internet but I can't on my phone because it requires a plug in.




All in all I'm happy with it and I will buy another one to replace it within the next 3 years when a better model comes out. I can even post on the RX from it! Every you tube video is now available and that is a great addition (only the top 10k videos were available at first). I think of the Iphone as a mini laptop. I don't know how tight your budget is, but you are looking at around 100 bucks a month for service.

Thanks a bunch. I figured $100/mo for service was about right and within my budget. I have a Sirius on my dock on my MacBook and I had a plugin for that, so no big deal that I cannot get it on my phone.

Can you access matchbook.com on your iPhone?

I ask because half of the menu is cutoff on the Safari Beta, I can still navigate using Safari,but even when I go to cashier to either deposit or withdraw, once I choose my method its just a blank screen. I am wondering if the Safari on your iPhone is more updated than the Beta I have on my Mac.

I also noticed that I cannot view the RX odds using Safari. Curious if you can on the iPhone?

I can't view the RX live odds. Matchbook is cut off halfway too.


I'm guessing anything that requires a plugin doesn't work.



I do view odds at pinnacle on it though.

i don't have one but a couple of my friends do and i've played around with theirs a bit. overall i think its a sweet phone. i think they're keyboard for typing blows though. maybe i just have big thumbs but it takes me forever to type in the website i want cause i'm always hitting extra letters. i can only imagine it sucks to type text messages and emails quickly using it.

Well if Pinnacle works on it them that is good news.

I am curious if you could get a "pen" for the iPhone that would help to type faster on it. I do not email a whole bunch so it is not that big of a concern.

I don't have an iPod and I need a phone and the Safari browser to place wagers/view scores is a big plus...I know, I know, degenerate huh, but either way I think it could be helpful.

I think my last big question is when is Apple planning on launching the iPhone's upgrade?

Do you own a Mac? Cause I cannot view RX odds on my Mac either. Would like to find out how to fix this issue.

No I don't own a Mac. I'm not sure about when the upgraded phone is due out. I would guess next Summer at the earliest.

I've got a Mac and just trying to figure how to use it.. I tried downloading mozilla and it works.. it just after I download it.. use it... i can't find it under applications the next day..
But Matchbook works with Mozilla on it.. I have problems with Safari thought on it as well

iphone is sweet phone, typing will get about a wk to get use to. I would wait until march/april for the 2.0 to come out. They confirmed it will have 3g and prob a bunch of other new things, hopefully tactile feedback when typing....

Was just in an Att store today. Was told that next iphone could blow away the competition if they do it right. I would wait for the next phase.

ya it really is an amazing device. I lost mine and decided to try the Blackberry curve for awhile. But will def. buy the new one. Its made me get a mac book pro and the new leopard software. I find myself going to the apple store a couple times a month.
