Fans raged over Wired's iPhone bash, exposed shortcomings

But it has the best games on a cell phone according to all the commercials I saw on TV. Now I must have one! Not.

don't even get me started on the games, I have wasted hundreds of hours between Zombieville, Fieldrunner, Crazy Tank & Katamari. my Touch has reduced my already low productivity to almost zero Not to mention I've dropped about $150 on games for this fucker.

Why is it that iPhone users are the only ones who really can't wait to show you their new app, or haul out their phone non-stop and browse on it and then try to show you things? Is the $299 price tag really that impressive?

Ya, I get it, you have an iPhone and you like it....good for you. A lot of people have them, it's not like you just discovered a cure for cancer and have to show it off, or that you just paid $10k for a diamond plated phone.

It's because we're better than you and more creative

Be unique! Get the same phone as a gazillion other people!

So you are claiming that you have some level of reading comprehension beyond me, and yet you are the one who posted the below. Note that if you actually had even modest reading skills, you would have noticed that you were responding to the wrong post.

Secondly, your "point" was complete gibberish because most people with "a social life" do not wait until friday night to make plans for fiday night. Generally, it would be people who have no social life who haven't figured out what they are going to do with themselves until friday night and are forced to send a desperate plea to all of their friends asking them if they are going to a bar to binge drink.

I own and love my iPhone, but the Wired article brought up some good points. They are years ahead of us with certain cell phone aspects, and things they care about just aren't on the iPhone. It has a shitty camera, no MMS, no tv tuner (who knew this was popular..?) and it's bulky for the features it does offer. Apple zealots think the company can do no wrong, I know and accept the shortfalls of the iPhone because it does so many other things so much better. To each their own, I guess.

Haha, even my cheapo Pearl from Sprint added MMS with the latest update.

You obviously don't have much of a social life - when its friday night and you want to ask several different people what's going on, a text message to a group is the easiest way to do it.

Perhaps I quoted the wrong DainThomas message, bravo on the only victory you'll have in this thread (even though it is non-consequential), but the fact remains that I made a fairly innocent, and accurate, point that group texts are convenient, and several people jumped on me for it, so I attacked back. If you read the entire thread, instead of trying to nitpick out of context to prove your (incorrect) point, that would be very clear.

Your little social life argument is failing you, I'd suggest you give it up, because like most things in this thread, you're wrong. Many people have a very active social life with a large number of people and thus don't NEED to plan ahead - they know they're doing something on a given night, its just a question of where and who, which does not really need to be resolved ahead of time.

Regardless, it was a simple example that quite clearly showed a use for group texting. You even replied that you use email for it, you hypocritical little man! I will repeat what I said earlier - that is the SAME THING, just a different protocol, you cannot (at least, while using your brain) attack one while supporting the other.

Are you done yet? Smacking you around is getting tiresome.
