>I really don't get what all the fuss is about over the iPhone. My BlackBerry Pearl does all that stuff on the commercials and it has buttons. Touch screens are as annoying as voice recognition customer service 800 numbers.
Apple just doesn't get some basic stuff. People want buttons, not click wheels or touch screens. I'm still pissed off that my iPod doesn't have an on/off button. Not to mention the volume modulation problem and not playing downloaded songs if the machine isn't used daily.
>I’m very close to getting into a BB Pearl but I’m worried because if the stupid thing gets no bars from the bunker I’m gonna be pissed. I finally found a phone that will at least occasionally get 2 bars from the bunker if I’m standing at just the right place in the house. On the other hand, I guess if the Pearl is no good I can always revert back to my current phone. Decisions, decisions….
>I doubt I’ll get into either one for a while, but I agree about the missing iPod features. You’d think some of those would be so basic.
>I’ve also heard that the camera on the iPhone is not as good as the one on mine. And I’ve heard that the battery is only good for 300 charges. How freaking odd is that?
