    So, are you an iPhone or Android user?



    Interestingly, a massive number of Android users (well, a massive percentage of the small actually number of users) said they definitely would not get an iPhone. It seems to be that they've made a very active 'anything but iPhone' decision. Silly Penguinistas, in other words.

    She's tried it and she likes the BB Curve better for texting--her choice and opinion. She does like the iPhone and may get the 4G---and she's not a kid.



    I only posted this because it is the truth--you can believe this or not. What you want to make of it is your opinion. DONE

    Maybe it's the ability to run multiple applications at once? That's a possibility. Why do you think the next iPhone OS will have that ability? Granted, there are fans of both sides who will not get an iPhone or an Android device, so you have to look at both sides of the argument. A massive number of iPhone users as well said they definitely would not get an iPhone at 41% - which according to the article that's enough to call it "nearly half". However, you did not find this interesting.

    nice first post google troll...and you can run multiple applications at once on the iphone

    OS...just not third party apps...



    and some developers have written radio programs that you can run in the background using the safari browser...like WunderRadio



    without jailbreaking...



    what are you guys going to rail about when multitasking is intuitively built into the Iphone OS 4.0?

    You guys wont have anything to say? what a sad day that will be for you guys...well you still have the AT&T strawman

    I don't think the poster inferred that your child was very young by calling her your kid, but in reality she is your kid, adult or not.

    Oh I don't know, maybe something about the lack of LED flash. Tell me, what are some areas that the iPhone can improve on? Or is it the perfect and magical phone?

    Agreed, my kid, not PMZ's, so more courtesy should have been given. Thanks.

    I hope that the iPhone never get's any kind of multitasking. That is just asking for viruses.

    I do a fair amount of texting on my iPhone. To me, texting on the BB Curve wasn't all that much better. After a few days, I got used to the soft keyboard of the iphone and learned to somewhat trust the auto-correct feature. Now I can type fairly comfortably on the iPhone (especially since they added the ability to switch to landscape mode while texting.

    Wasn't aware of the landscaping feature--that would make it a lot easier to type. For me, I don't do any texting so it won't matter, but I'll tell my daughter about it. Thanks.

    Guess what?!



    The iPhone OS already can do multitasking (as many here will point out). It just doesn't implement it on third-party apps...yet.



    But in your infinite wisdom, I'm curious how you think multitasking = viruses. Please explain.

    Nothing is going to be prefect for everyone. While I may be quite happy with my iPhone 3G, the next person may find it's lack of video capability a deal breaker. Assuming they added multi-tasking and an LED flash to the next gen iPhone, I'm sure there are other things that people would want and complain that the iPhone didn't have.

    It's going to get it, and I think it needs it. With multi-tasking the iPhone will be on top of my list to buy.

    Are you kidding, the ability to go to landscape mode while texting and emailing was a Godsend.

    The keyboard, at that point, becomes about the size of a BB keyboard.

    What 'strawman'? I had and loved an iPhone for a year, until I got fed up with AT&T. I would love to ditch my Storm in favor of a new iPhone but Apple needs to quit propping up AT&T and make the iPhone available through more providers. To this day I don't understand how providers are allowed (by consumers) to limit the devices they provide service to. It's like California saying only Chevrolets can drive on thier roads, isn't it?

    No, it's not like that.

    Agreed, Apple definitely needs to open the iPhone up to Verizon or Sprint. Seems like win win to me. As for your analogy, it's not quite the same thing. It's AT&T's network, not the Fed's.
