So, I've been debating getting an iPhone...help...
 

So, my treo 680 is the pits! I hate it and have been drooling over the iPhone. But I really want to know ALL the pros and cons. Of course people at at&t and apple store won't say there are any problems at all. Please give me your thoughts if you have an iPhone.

Thanks!

please....

i love love love love LOVE my iphone :) i hate cingular...but it is really bad in this area. other than our coverage here, i think it is a SUPER phone :) no complaints here :D :D :D and now that they've dropped the price, i say go for it :)

100% agree with Mandee. I hated my Treo too and just got the iphone. Love it. The phone is great and I love all the features! We are in Atlanta and I switched from Verizon. I think the coverage is much worse with At&t/Cingular than with Verizon. I'm sure you would love the phone!!!! :)

If you can afford it why not.

What good is a phone if you can't use it? I don't have one, but have heard nothing but frustration from those who do. The coverage area stinks, lots of areas where there is no service. I had that problem with AT & T before Cingular joined them, and the poor coverage area is the reason I left.

i never have any problem using it for the data stuff....email, internet, etc.

and for the most part, we can use it ok...just not here at my house. but when we are out of the house, we can usually use it ok. the coverage is spotty...but really all networks are spotty here. verizon is the best..but i dont like their phones :(

We just have more cutting in and out than we did with Verizon. A few more dropped calls too. Nothing major (but we are in a metropolitan area) and for me---the phone is worth it. I love having my music, pictures, internet, etc. My husband loves his Blackberry. Will you be using it oversees? I had a friend who ended up with a $2000 phone bill from talking while in Canada for a week. Something to keep in mind. At&t said they have an oversees discount package if you need it.

The keyboard is definitely something you need to get used to since it is a touch screen. I wonder if men have trouble since they have bigger fingers?? :confused: I love the weather feature.

my dh is better at using it than i am :) and he has fat fingers. i think you just have to take time to get used to it being a touch screen...it is kinda sensitive but it has this "smart" feature that helps you predict what you are typing so you have less errors.

i like the weather feature too. and love the notes feature...i use it all the time. the camera and photo's feature is very nice. the ipod is GREAT. and i love that the internet is just like on a computer. i use it all the time to chat on YT :)

I heard the prices dropped, go for it:D

The notes feature is great, but I have to agree that the internet is amazing. I love that it is justy like it is on a computer. My husband's blackberry doesn't look the same as the computer does. I sit in the carpool line and follow the threads on YT. Very cool.

I think you are right---it just depends on how much you use the keyboard. I have gotten a lot better on it the more I use it. The smart feature helps (tries to figure out what word you are trying to type). The price has dropped--that's when I got it. :)

I had to do the same thing, could'n use it where i needed it most. Verizon is supost to come out before xmas with a new phone like the iphone by LG and called Voyager ! ;)

I personally don't own one but a friend of mine who is an IT guy at work does. He loves his phone. He dropped it and broke the screen on it. Went to the local Apple store and they gave him a new one. I got to play around with his phone and was easy to view his photos, listen to music, surf the net.

Thanks for all of your responses! I got it today and it's syncing as we speak!!!!!

Pro/Con
 

Con - You must use AT&T. If you don't then,

Good news is Verizon is coming out with a similar phone called the Voyager. The Voyager, made by LG Electronics, trumps the iPhone by offering faster wireless Web access. Voyager has 2-megapixel cameras, and high-speed wireless connections for fast music and video downloads, and a slot for 8 gigabytes of extra memory. The iPhone has 8 gigabytes of built-in storage. First up, the Voyager features a large external touch-screen display, and, inside, Voyger users will find a full QWERTY keypad for their text-messaging and email needs. The phone ties into Verizon's EVDO high speed data network—which offers higher bandwidth than the EDGE network afforded the iPhone by AT&ampT—and offers a full HTML browser and support for unprotected MP3, WMA, and AAC audio: users will be able to cart around their personal media library on microSD cards, which currently support up to 8 GB of storage. The Voyager also sports a 2 megapixel camera, and should be available by the end of November.

Verizon is hopeful the combination of high-speed data access, V Cast media access, and a dedicated QWERTY keypad may appeal to users considering the iPhone, but who are put off by reports of slow data access via EDGE (although the iPhone also offers Wi-Fi connectivity) and touchscreen-based keypad.

I am waiting for the Voyager! :)

Well, my service was already with at&t,so i didn't have to change. So far i love it! It's fast! And it's easy to use!
