I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?

I own a iphone and I dont think its that great. I also own an itouch which I gave to my daughter when i bought the iphone. The iphone is nothing more than an itouch that makes calls and send txt messages. Oh yeah, dont forget the iphone doesnt send or receive pic or video messages. Thats the worst design ever. I replaced my Blackberry 8800 for this and it doesnt even receive multimedia msges. Other than that its a great itouch that makes calls.

A lot of manufacturer are making lives on iPhone accessories. You never know how cheap they really are, thought i can't guess how could Belkin gain profits and stands out of the tough competition, check out http://www.sourcingmap.com/iphone-cases-c-983_1389.html

ug!
what a shame.
the iphone is just too cool for a case... these cases are a nuisance!
so much for "revolutionary"... i don't want to be digging around, and opening up a case just to answer the phone.
i want SIMPLICITY.
should have made a slide jacket that slides up and flips back, and closes with a snap action.
i think i'll wait till the uphone comes out... thanks apple for a phenomenal design yet again, but no thanks for the need to add the protection!

One minor nuisance isn't worth not getting in my opinion...buy yourself a blutooth if it's THAT difficult just to pull the phone out of a case...it really isn't that difficult. All you are being is lazy...
lou anneJun 29th 2007 4:12PM
one minor nuisance? hahaha.... it's a $600 phone! it should be making the coffee in the morning, dude! where's your mind? er, maybe you're the first iphone camper... nice pic! NEXT...

I wouldn't want one if you given it to me , what a waste of money ...and not only that , you will spend over $2,000 for internet etccccc.
Just more shit you're to mess with ......What a waste ..........

iPhone is far from being called revolutionary; for one, it does not work from my home because of no AT and T signal; the speaker on the phone is mediocre and some phones reportedly have volume problems; casing is an important issue for me because it has no "handle"; this item is not like a tetanus shot; it is a first generation gadget like all the rest of Mr. Jobs' and i would shoot for the third generation if i am going to spend so much money; Frankly, the phone part of it is like a beautiful girl with very frequent headaches.

lol $2,000 on internet?? check out the at&t website, even the plans starting at $60 have unlimited internet and email.

I don't know why some people hate this phone so much. The iPhone has provided access to all functions, on and off line, whenever I have turned it on (by the way, it takes about one to two seconds to turn on and become fully operative - faster by far than anything else i've used). And just to clarify, the internet access is included for unlimited use as part of the
$ 50.00 a month fee, along with more talk time than any normal person would ever use. It's very fast in regards to the internet and phone services. My previous phone, the Motorola Razr, ran down on batteries very quickly with far less use, and it's internet connection (through AT&T) really stank. I have kept my iPhone turned on and working for a whole day so far, and the battery is still at 75%. People who think this phone is expensive and crummy simply haven't used one. It is an immensely better phone/device than anything I have used previously, and it's more fun to use than I had ever imagined. The iPod functions are killer as well. I have hundreds of tunes on mine (Uncompressed wav files) and they sound superb. I was not an Apple freak before, but the iPhone is quickly getting me there.

I love my iphone. I never had pony'd up for an ipod so I figure that was worth $350 of the $600 for the phone. Add to that it's 50 times better than the old Razr or new Razr 2 which was gonna be $300 or more & I thought it was pretty cool deal. Add to that unlimited data for $20 and voila I'm a happy camper.
I got the Belkin Acrylic case to mount the phone on a flat surface which works great without any restriction.
Get one...and buy the stock cause it's gonna rocket this year when the earnings on these things come out.

I bought cases from Griffin, Case Mate, and Belkin. By far the best one with the highest quality was from iQase.com
I got the iqase side with the screen protector film.
they have awesome stuff
bloggerblogJul 24th 2007 1:25PM
The iPhone is awesome, obviously those who complain do not own one. I've used Treo, Samsung with Windows CE, Blackberry, and some others like the Razor. The iPhone is in a much higher category and beats'em all Hands-Down.
It is like a mini computer with desktop functionalities. You must own one to understand.
$500 is really not much compared to other sub $900 phones, that don't even come close to the iPhone in the first-place.
kudos to apple they've done it again.
