| Re: I got bit by this Haven't kept up with the news, I see.
You guys complain about Apple fanboys. You know what's worse? People who post using what they knew a year ago and who haven't read a damn thing about the topic in a year.
- wrong about being without your phone when you send it in
- wrong about the battery
- wrong about the enterprise
- wrong about applications being only web-centric
- unaware of remote-wipe feature in 2.0 firmware
Pathetic. | |

| Re: I got bit by this LOL, Johnny. You're wrong about the battery on the iPhone--here's a link from Apple support telling you about how much you'll have to pay them to replace your battery. Apple Support Fees for iPhone battery replacement
The battery in the new generation 3G phone is still sealed (in fact it's more than sealed--it's soldered on to the phone). Your belief that the battery is user replaceable is fueled by wishful speculation on the web that the 2 small screws visible in the Apple video tour meant users could replace their own battery. Even if you are able to get the screws out, you're stuck trying to remove the soldered battery as well as re-solder a replacement.
And yes, enterprises aren't buying the iPhone as of yet--it's consumers driving the marketing right now. | |

| Re: I got bit by this Except it isn't soldered on, Sport.
You were wrong about everything else, since you haven't read any Apple news in a whole year, and you are wrong about the battery too. Have you looked at the tear-down sites? Of course not - too busy with an all-Microsoft universe, I bet. The soldered-on battery was last year.
It was just released 3 days ago - so of course enterprises "aren't buying it" yet, maybe. On the other hand, maybe they are. It has all the things that enterprise requested. Or did you miss the presentation by Apple on the phone a few weeks ago? We didn't. | |

Well it has many of the things enterprise was looking for and there will be more enterprise customers looking to the iPhone at this point.
Despite the number of devices sold early (any idea how many of those are folks who had 1st Gen phones and are replacing them vs net new customers?) - iPhone still has some work to do in the enterprise to get up to Blackberry levels of acceptance and use.
Here's a good article from Paul Robichaux who tested the iPhone as a corporate device to Exchange. He's an MS Exchange MVP and knows his stuff on the topic. Overall a good read.

While we're talking about that MS only universe...later this year we'll see Domino support on the device, which then you'll have the two major collab players on the device.
In understand your frustration of those who don't know, but really, calm down a bit there bud. There have been how many Apple fans out there who bash everyone and anyone who dares to question an Apple device. Trust me, there are plenty of folks out here who are pretty tired of that.
Apple produces some cool sh*t, no question.
