iPhone vs..?

[AYHJA]

So, while I do understand that apple has a cult following, I've seen w/my own pair how awesome the iphone is...I mean, all bullshit aside, its a great device...I'm still not buying one, but if someone wanted to give me one, I sure as hell wouldn't turn it down...

What do you guys know of that compares..?

Information on the Phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w960-2008.php

I WAS going to get this phone, but since I am dead broke, I don't think that it's going to happen. It does look like a great phone though. The W950 had pretty good reviews even though it lacked a camera.

i dunno,i can't get excited by phones with multiple gadgets n functions. call me from the old school in regards to this,but if i can make calls & text message that's all the feature i need.

What about the LG Prada Smartphone..? Anybody know anything about that..?

[happywonton]

I heard it was inferior as far as various functions compared to the iphone but there will be an update to it. I believe the model number is LG KS520? 250? One of those. But I have been browsing around for new phones lately since my plan is already over. I wanted a blackberry but no 3g, I need the e-mail for my job and iphone, well it sucks for email.

That w960 i posted above has some pretty good specs but im afraid its too expensive.
The megaphone Nokia n95 has all the features I need but for an unlocked version, its fucking $600+. No phone is worth that amount.

Wow, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but...I think I'm getting an iPhone...They've dropped in price to less than half of what they first were, and I don't see anything that can compare to it for that same price...My cousin has one...The speaker on hers busted...She got a smack brand new one in a couple of days...That's what impressed me the most...

[mr.jerry]

I think thgat the only smartphone that can be compared to ipohe is the HTC touch.

... ore the comining new HTC Touch 2 that is also 3G!

bye

[AYHJA]

On second thought...

Damn..! That's a sexy ass phone Mr. Jerry..! Checking it out now...

[happywonton]

I would wait on the iPhone. It's very hard to resist because of the price drop but there are rumors that a new generation will be coming 1st quarter of 2008. Will it be worth it? Who knows but it's either that or the new LG touch phone that I was talking about above for me. EMAIL and IMING WILL RULE MY DAY.

Oh..! I think I like that AT&T 'Tilt' phone too, its pretty sweet...
