iphone or voyager?
#41
thread starter: i would go with the iphone... not because i have one, but because i love what it do and will do in the future.
gummyneo78: dont get mad, get glad. take a chill pill man.
to everyone else... dont compare at&t's service with verizon's service. the thread starter asked for a specific phone, NOT the service.

either way his post saying he hates asians is what's called sarcasm
Not Asian, German/English.
Dense? Go look in the mirror. But then again, you might end up seeing an L on YOUR forehead.
Grow up....

The reason people were comparing Verizon to At&t is because what good is a phone if your network can't back it up?
The way I see it, having a kickass phone on a mediocre service is like being a German/English 47 year old loser posting "I hate asians" on a website focusing around a car by an Asian company, when he could be out doing something 40 something ish. But then again, a 47 year old pushing out all sorts of money on a car with a younger audience in mind is already saying enough. Possibly mid life crisis? Having a small male organ, or perhaps, just having a hard time getting women. Either way, I was merely supporting the argument that having a great phone but not having the ballz to support it is like being a retarded 47 year old.
Anyways, it's easter, so I'm done with this conversation.

I wouldn't mind having an iPhone. My son has an iTouch and I like it. I hate ATnT though, due to no signal in my house. I wouldn't go Verizon either since they have less signal at my house than my Sprint service. Verizon on a friends phone drops while driving and my Sprint doesn't drop. Looks like I may end up with a Touch HTC on the Sprint network as it is the closest thing to an iPhone Sprint offers.

hey hey come down. I have actually been doing a lot of reading but the info is conflicting
before march 5th there was talk that they were actually coming out with a new phone. I have read many articles. Apple does a good job of keeping everything top secret.
So I guess all that talk was just specualtion. In Nov Jobs had said that there was a 3G iphone coming out in 08. There was also talk of it back in sept 07. I know that they were having problems with the batterie.
I was just looking to see if there was any other info out there

now that they have this 2.0 upgrade in June, it has dominated the news and I haven't heard anything about the 3g that jobs was talking about last nov.
I have a Cingular 8525 that I got a year and a half ago. The batterie is not lasting very long but it still fullfills my needs. I'm waiting for the iphone Gen 2, I guess is would be called, with the new platform.
They do a very good job keeping this quiet so that I don't know how long I'll have to wait ... and maybe ppl like me will just go buy the current one

I own the voyager.. Its a good phone. I like it alot and it works well for what i need for work and personal life. The Iphone is not comparable becuase it does so much and its huge for the interenet. The voyager has the turn by turn GPS i like alot and it is easy to navigate, even with fat fingers. As my friend here in CHS said "i didnt realize how bad the iphone is for tryin to dial drunk..." An all touch screen phone is slimmer, but may not be as good for your lifestyle, you should mess around with both and see what you like.... remember both phones offer different services, thats what you need to look at. Not to mention, i cant have an Iphone becuase i travel to places that AT&T dont cover, so i had to stick with a verizon phone.... Good luck!!!

well, I think I'm going to sell the iphone and get the voyager...
I played with both today, and there are things about both that I like, and things that could be better. Really what it comes down to is that Verizon is cheaper, is my current provider, and the voyager does what I need it to do...
The iphone is pretty sweet though

+1 on all the props for the iPhone. Out of the box, it's so-so. Nothing super special. You need to jailbreak it (easily done if you take your time and read up on it). Jailbreaking lets you install the 3rd party applications (like the Nintendo emulator, flickr uploader, stuff like that). I recommend the Zibri jailbreak. It's easy and reliable.
But you CAN use it networks besides AT&T. Not sure about Verizon though. But that's called "unlocking". I'm not sure how hard that is but I plan to do the unlock on mine before I go on a trip to Asia later this year.
Basically, the iPhone becomes the "Jesus Phone" AFTER you Jailbreak it. It does everything but I can't wait for the gen 2 version. Hopefully it will have 3G (high speed) support and more storage space. Exchange support is going to be so kick@$$ too.

you can't send or receive videos and images. you can't record videos. people will tell you about putting NES and game boy games on it but they always forget to tell you how horrible it runs on the iphone. how impossible it is to play it. also bluetooth is useless on this thing. can't transfer files between phones or anything. all it does hands-free. My free phone that I got from at&t had more features.
skip the iphone until it plays catch up with other phones for feature. fortunately most of this stuff can be fix by apple with software updates. if they were willing.
as much as I hate this thing it isn't a complete waste. youtube and internet on the go is very very nice and so is the interface. and I like not having to carry a seperate ipod player since this phone uses a standard headphone jack unlike my old phone.
I want a new phone but I spent much monies on this thing so I'll stick with it until I hear more about this no fangled android OS thing...

well i bought the voyager which i lm using right now and i'm happy with it. what i originally thought was a phone that wasn lt quite as cool as the iphone turns out that i just didn't know how to use it. so now that i'm learning the phone i'm happy with my choice
