Not All Good

Not that I care about the iPhone, but it's hard to avoid it today online. Looking around, the initial reaction can be summed up in one word, "meh".

The Apple fanbois are throwing up all sorts of excuses. Either "I don't use that missing feature" or "Just wait for a software update".

At least on my free phone I can change the voicemail alert tone, as I understand it you can't do that on the iPhone. What a basic feature.

The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility, and out of self interest -- for himself, his family, and the future of his country -- to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state.

Uh, you're reading different reviews than I am, I guess. Looking at »techmeme.com the reviews are almost universally 4- or 5- stars, with only a few minor quibbles.

It's OK to not like a phone with good reviews, or to not like a movie with good reviews, but to deny that the iPhone is getting almost-universally good reviews while also talking about "apple fanbois" is, well, a little weird.

The majority of people that were waiting in line are ebaying them so you won't see reviews from them and are apple fans in general. That in itself pretty much slants any reviews.

Just like when the consoles came out the same happened. You have to wait for people who are not huge fans of this thing to get a decent feeling on the device.

Your reply has nothing to do with what the original poster said, or what I said, but thanks for contributing!
