Thanks for stopping by! Hey, why don't you do what all the cool kids are doing and subscribe to my RSS feed? You know you want to, so go ahead, be bad, be very very bad... :) Thanks.
Well the industry has been in a twitter for the last couple of months with the coming launch of Apple’s iPhone. Well the time has come for the iPhone to be released this week. I was wondering whether Hipster readers were all psyched and getting ready to go out and plop down $600 bucks and sign a two year contract with big brother, I mean AT&T for the chance to own an iPhone?
Before you run out, there was a good review on Engadget where they listed out a number of things that they were not real impressed with the iPhone. They included:
- The keyboard was simply described as “disappointing”
- “It won’t replace a BlackBerry. It’s not good for text input. It’s just not a business product.”
- iPhone’s audio was “not loud or clear enough.”
Apple launched a online guided tour of the iPhone which you can view here.
So who is buying? Post a comment on whether you’re buying one or not.

No thanks; I think I’ll wait until the Google Phone hits North America.
iPhone on AT&T Cingular’s network is like eating filet mignon off of a trash can lid isn’t it?
Krista - LOL, well said..
you got a better network? there are no big differences in any of them that i can tell. i have been a bellsouth-cingular-at&t customer for years.
Kim,
I don’t know about a better network, but I absolutely could recommend several better wireless companies than AT&T. AT&T are doing things on their broadband side that includes spying and handing over private customer information to associations for no other reason than to make a buck.
So to answer your question, do I have a better network, absolutely.
NO. ABSOLUTELY F–KING NOT.
I care about my civil liberties and won’t support AT&T for that reason alone. Why should I give my $$ to a company that cares more about their relationship with the RIAA than it does with me.
TRUST, PEOPLE. Isn’t that what a relationship is all about?
Or are we all blinded by the glitz and glamour.
Being willfully spied on by a large corporation should make better headlines than Paris getting out of jail. Shit, getting willfully spied on by a large corporation should make any headlines!
The crazy thing. I am such a huge Mac fan.
However, this is actually hurting my opinion of them. Someone needs to stand up to the RIAA and AT&T on this. Mac seems to be perfectly complicit with this.
Man…
I have finally come to the conclusion that people other than Adam and I, just don’t get it. Privacy folks is going to be as big of an issue as healthcare and energy very very soon. Once you allow a company that you are paying to relinquish your private information, it only goes down hill from there. Thanks Adam for your continued interest.
Oh by the way, I sent an email to Steve Jobs asking him about this. I never heard back.
