Seeing a closer look into the iPhone 4 past the hype and assumptions, owners are now realizing that the new toy is turning out to be an unexpected expensive paperweight. Dropped calls are now occuring a lot more frequently, it is inevitablely turning out to be a strange antenna issue coming from Apple. There was a class action lawsuit filed only 6 days after release accusing ATT and Apple on numerous accounts of negligence.

I checked out the Nokia N97 by viewing this youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-6YcXoRDG0 and it looks nice — nice camera/video features. Overall — my opinion is that the iPhone is and will continue to be the hottest computing device on the market; so choose the iPhone 3GS. Apple’s made some mistakes, and I believe they’ll right their wrongs re: GV app. I’m one for underdogs, but — owning Apple products feels like “being part of the family” … don’t leave the family Cali!

(On a related note, you may want to discuss the broken iphone with the bike shop — seems they “may” have some liability.)

Cali, huge props and respect for you if you can manage to use that Nokia symbian phone for other than making calls. I used an E71 and was given an E66 slider to take on a trip and getting through those menus and trying to remember where something is hidden in the nest of menus is too much for me.

BTW– forget voice dialing I think you need to be a native speaker of Finish to get that to work.

Cali, just watched your episode about your broken phone. I’m a hard core techie and I’m seriously into gadget phones. Having done the home work THE phone to beat all phones is the Nokia E71. Yes I have the iPhone, yes I have the iPod Touch and yes I have every other phone OS out there (ok, I never went Android) so I know what I’m talking about. The iPhone is pretty. Very pretty. But once you’re over the “pretty” phase and get your tech head back on the E71 is THE best phone on the market. It has the lot. In fact there inst a gadget that the iPhone (or any other phone) has that the E71 doesnt have (bluetooth, wifi, gps, 3g, 3meg camera and video, even infra red!) Takes micro sd cards (I run mine with a 16GB card)…ok it doesnt have an accelerometer. Big deal. I know which way is up Running Symbian S60 mean’s there is a ton of software out there, some awesome stuff (oh, being a techie you might also appreciate that the E71 can keep phone memory and sd card encrypted at all time’s ala TrueCrypt meaning loosing it doesnt mean your data is just out there, and you can remote lock it via a text message if you loose it. It even texts you back to tell you its locked).
You mentioned the N97. Fear not, I’ve researched that too. VERY nice phone BUT, once again pipped by the world’s best phones brother, the E72! (E72 due out any day). Again, the iPhone and N97 are pretty, but we’re techie. The E72 keeps all the goodies of its sibling but brings a 5MP camera and electronic compass to the game AND as far as I can tell has the fastest internals out there (OK the CPU is 600MHz, twice that of the E71 and there are other 600MHz phones out there, BUT the 3G is rated at OVER 10Mbps! – so when networks finally pull their finger out and crank up 3G this puppy will race. Here in the UK 3G is already at 7Mbps plus and talking to someone in T-Mobile UK their preparing for 10Mbs roll out).

So to some up. E71/E72 functionally as good as your laptop. Use with the Nokia folding keyboard and it really is a laptop replacement (skype, twitter, email, facebook, its got it all).

I never got a iphone since it was on ATT, but i got me a iPod touch instead, jailbroke it and was happy with just that. I had a HTC Pro for a while and switched to Palm pre. I rooted it and so far i like what i can do. yes the pre has little apps as of now, but as long as its not restricted like apple, and has good support, it should be great.

remember, the pre store just came out! iphone didn’t have one for about a year or so.

My 3GS goes into an iSkin Revo2 (w/screen shield snapped in place), then inside a ziploc bag, and then into my saddle pouch when I ride. I don’t plan on taking calls during a ride–it’s all I can do to hang on to the wheel in front of me some days.

May get an Otterbox for rides, though. Those cases are tanks.

As for the chain, an N-Gear Jump Stop (http://www.gvtc.com/~ngear/whatis.html) does the job for me–no more chains dropped onto the bottom bracket.

Oh, and as others have mentioned, you can get the screen replaced–that will cost you a LOT less than a new phone (iPhone or otherwise).

@talkingDigital – The Pre is already rooted. There is no rooting to be done. You will have to turn on dev mode for homebrew apps to install. Download QuickInstall from the PreCentral forums. The download my job search if you want.

Well ’tis a shame it happened but happens to us all at some point something we become so used to breaks and we wonder why it was so important to us. I never bought into the idea of the ‘Jesus’ phone nor am I really an Apple fan boy. Yes I appreciate some of their tech as being innotive and certainly the marketing is very smooth, but lets not forget the success of the iphone really lays at the feet of the developers who made apps for it. But that is where the trouble comes. Having apps that only fit into Apples ethos is all very good for promoting Apple and further fueling the myth but it also shuts out small time developers with a particular itch to scratch that want to do it on an iphone. GV is perhaps the ultimate conclusion to this. Apple are fine when they are making the money and taking the credit for developers success, but woe betide anyone making more capital out of that success than they.

I’d hope Cali, that as a technical zealot, you will weigh up carefully the needs of the consumer vs the needs of the company in your choice. Personally I do like the Palm Pre and enjoy the freedom to develop my own personal scratch. Isn’t it about the freedom to choose what you want to use rather than being told what to use that is cool?

Wait to hear your brief about the subject

Take care

Hey Cali

sorry to hear about your iPhone. I love mine and would hate to see her get hurt!! I havnt tried it out yet but there’s a google voice app on cydia. This does require you to jailbreak your iPhone. But you being a geek and all this shouldn’t be a problem. I have jailbroken my brand new 3gs and everything works perfectly. The tools have gotten very reliable and really easy to use. Hope this helps. All the best.

I’m very curious as to what you end up doing. My guess is you’ll realize just how good you have it with the iPhone regardless of GV. If you don’t go with the iPhone then at least you won’t have to worry about ever spending too much time looking at apps when you have some free time – instead you could, er, well, there’s always belly button lint for entertainment

Your first bike ride of the summer? You need to work less and ride more! Summer is almost over. Have you looked at GPS solutions for your iPhone of from Garmin? I am a GPS freak and have recorded my bike rides since 2003 online. Many of thee tools have improved over the years. Garmin Connect is OK, but still very new and could use some improvement. Trimble Outdoors is really reliable and fast. The Garmin Edge 305 is my favorite GPS for bikes, but I’d use an iPhone if I had one. Unfortunately I cannot use my Touch since it has no GPS capabilities. Too bad it cannot connect to my Delorme bluetooth GPS… I could talk all day about GPS stuff — Thanks for all you do! Bye.
