Title: iphone
Post by: royalstar on July 04, 2007, 05:10:24 AM
who out there is planning to buy or already has one of these? just curious on how heavy the buzz is about these in the philippines... is there even a carrier that services these over there? i'm a huge ipod fan but it might take me a while to warm up to these, or at least until they lower their prices..

kaso kung iisipin niyo.. mejo nakakakilabot na wala syang buttons.. kasi kapag magloko na yung software na nagcocontrol nung pagiging touchscreen e d wala na.. ahahha.. tapos wala pa palang 3G.. so malamang sa 3rd or 4th generation pa lumabas.. tapos nde rin natatanggal battery.. so parang nde tyo makakadala nang spare battery.. ahehehe

Yung mga prices sa States, may kasamang 2 year AT&T line yun. After two years, you will have spent around $1900 all in all daw. Ngayon, kung prepaid dito sa Pinas malamang mga 40-50K yan since walang contract sa wireless provider.
But I agree, astig talaga yang touch screen.
The only thing that will prevent me from buying this when it hits our shores is the battery isn't user-replaceable. You will have to bring it to a qualified service center. Malamang magkakaroon ng third-party battery kits for consumers (just like for the ipods now) pero nakakatakot buksan yung casing. :-o

my friend has one. kuha niya sa states $600 8gb. sobrang flashy tlga ng iphone. kung sa design, panalo talaga. as in mapapa-WOW ka kung pano mag take ng pictures or pano mag zoom, yung pagbrowse sa itunes etc. maganda tlga. pero yung fuzz about touchscreen, hindi naman sya ganun ka hirap. pero walang bluetooth. ahhaha.

I played with one sa apple store. it bulky. i don't like it. yung lang turn off na ko. I don't care about the price as long as it delivers. tulad nga ng sabi ni Phil, its 1st gen. marami pang quirks na lalabas dyan.
me balak ang apple na gawing iphone ang next gen. ipod nano. then sell it for cheaper price of 300-400. less features nga lang.

Kahit super ganda ng IPhone, parang hindi sulit...Pano kung mabagsak? Diba? Basta Nokia parin, kung baga sa Kotse, dami surplus eh. Basta wala joystick, hindi flip or slide...okay na...sirain kasi eh. hehehe. God bless all! :-D

Apple faces new suit over iPhone's touch-screen keyboard (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/08/06/apple_faces_new_suit_over_iphones_touch_screen_keyboard.html)
By Slash Lane Published: 10:00 AM EST
A small Florida-based firm is suing iPhone maker Apple Inc, alleging that handset's new touch-screen keyboard interface infringes on patent claims dating back over 7 years.
After writing Apple in late February and receiving no response, SP Technologies, LLC on Thursday turned to a patent litigation-friendly federal court in Tyler, Texas, where it filed a formal complaint against electronics maker.
Specifically, the 4-page suit charges that Apple's iPhone keyboard interface treads on four claims outline in an August 4th, 2000 U.S. patent titled "Method and medium for readable keyboard display incapable of user termination."
The 7-year-old filing describes a "method of providing a user interface for receiving information from a user using a user immutable graphical keyboard linked to an input area, [...] invoking the graphical keyboard on a touch screen display to receive input from a user, and [...] maintaining the graphical keyboard on the touch screen display such that the user cannot move, resize, remove, or close the graphical keyboard through the user interface while the input area remains and requires input."
SP Technology argues that by selling and offering to sell its iPhone through Apple and AT&T stores located in the Texas district, Apple has and continues to commit acts of patent infringement.
"Apple’s advertisements, operating instructions and product descriptions direct users to purchase and use the iPhone as called for in the asserted claims," the firm wrote.
In return for Apple's "willful and deliberate" infringement, SP Technology is seeking damages adequate to compensate for the number of iPhones sold thus far, as well as a permanent injunction prohibiting the company from further infringement.

there's a "rumor" that apple will be releasing an update soon and it will render all "unlocked" iphones useless since there isn't an open line iphone to start with.. but i trust the hackers of the world to solve this hehehe :-D
