Default Really OT - New iPhone 3GS

Quite excited about this! It's video capability looks pretty good, and my daughter is two and I always miss stuff with the video camera as it's always out of batteries, in a cupboard, or she goes all shy when it's out.

I love the idea of being able to easily send clips to her grandparents too. My phone atm is soooooooo slow with video and camera, the shutter release happens about 5seconds after I press the button, so I hardly ever use it.

I watched the webcast yesterday and *must* have one. I handed back my company phone about a month ago (Blackberry) and although it had all the things the new iPhone has in some primitive form, the iPhone does them all SO much better (from tech specs) ...counting the days! (come on o2!!)

What's an iphone?


I want my phone to do one thing, make and receive phone calls. I don't need it to surf the web, play games, text message (what the heck is that anyway?), or take pictures.

Yeah, I have to have one too. But not for the video, for the voice command feature. I'm pathetic that way. But a nicer camera on the phone will come in handy!

Sheesh!! As if photography wasn't an expensive enough hobby! If you people need something to spend your money, I have some needs!

I'm with Quo Fan on this one. I just want to make phone calls, for cryin' out loud!

You do, you just don't know it yet! Like Pringles, once you pop you can't stop. (I'm not sure if that is a cultural reference that travels well!)
