Re: RE

That's what I figured. However, you would have thought Apple would have made the phones dual band (HAH... I'm only kidding). This being the same Steve Jobs that makes IPODS with soldered batteries and charges the same 80 dollars to replace them. Apple merely makes junk and continues to upgrade it for all those gullible people willing to throw away their money. I might not be the most up to date person when it comes to technology, but I know a gimmick when I see one. Apple to me is one of those fad items best avoided.

Wow, you really are on the "gimme something to hate" bandwagon. Someday you will learn. The quality of the iPhone make EVERY piece of junk plastic phones out there look like crap. Really, if you can't get past your need to feel part of something like the "i hate ________(insert company) products" club, you will miss out on a lot of great things in life. Oh, and you won't have to lie anymore either. And regardless what you hear on the internet... bashing something most people like really doesn't add to your coolness.

Nor does wasting 500 dollars only to blow another 500 a few months later on an upgrade that should have been included the first time around.. Can you say GULLIBLE and CHA CHING on APPLE'S part as all the people like you go and blow another 500 bucks for round 2.

You are an idiot.

There are plenty of companies selling iPod batteries. The only ones that are soldered in are the Nano, Touch/Phone. The rest you can replace relatively easily. And there are plenty of places that will do it for you if you're not handy.

And I'd imagine there will be companies that will do this for you with the Touch/Phone shortly.

I'd never worry about the battery life - for every cell I've replaced batteries in - usually another month or 2 later I'm replacing it anyway so it's a no brainer.

I'd rather have the goodness of the iPhone vs the POS that is Win mobile or the orphaned thing that is Palm OS (I've got a Treo 650 now).

Yes and what company SOLDERS a battery in? Better yet, what companies makes a product that is highly overpriced and then simply makes a simple update it to reprice it again? I mean give me a break that Apple couldn't have done an initial launch with 3G.... People like you are the flocks that line Steve Job's pockets. Too ignorant to think about things and too quick to blow your money on them due to the logo.
