I see your math skillz are about as good as you critical thinking skills. 700MB isn't even 1/5 of the 4GB model and not even 10%, 1/10 if that % is a confusing symbol for you, of the 8GB model. It is a decent chunk of space but most phones come with less than 700MB to start off with, albeit most have expandable memory but you have to pay for that.

apple likes to market 1000KB = 1MB (simply not true but alot of manufactures do this so they can cut costs, 2^10 = 1024, the true conversion, no computer uses a dec system)
ok well 4GB is 4000MB, you lose around 7% to formatting (doesnt matter what kind of format, you will lose space to formatting on any system)
you have ~3720MB left for storage you minus 700, you have 3020MB left
according to apple's logic 3020 = 3.02GB
im sorry your right, i forgot your 20MB. its not 3GB its 3.02GB/4.00GB
its not 1/4 its 151/200
also to the other people that posted, just because you dont use or have heard of mms or an led flash light or an led flash for the camera, does that mean everyone should bow to your ways? and unlearn technology? or basically become more ignorant?
MMS, can you send a rich email to current phones? no, ok well its not backwards compatible, is it stupid to be backwards compatible? obviously according to you people, i guess all of bluetooth is stupid too because BT3.0 is backwards compatible with BT1.0b
A2DP? how can you not have heard of it? its WIRELESS stereo audio. if the iphone is so revolutionary, it should have current as well as future technolgy. but yes, A2DP is possible as an upgrade (perhaps)
"This is true, I once was lost on dessert road out west and my RAZR battery crapped out on me and all I had to do was stop at a gas station to get a new one. Unfortunately they only had AAA's which I couldn't make fit."
no, but i know most people with cell phones have a spare in their purse or jacket. a battery is $10-$15 (in apple's case it would be something like $40-$50) when your battery goes dead from surfing or watching videos, just pop in a new one
your comment doesnt just states you dont know anything about your phone. i dont even have a razr and i know it takes a BR50 battery, rizr's and razr v3x's take a BC50-BC60-BC70.
"Rated battery life under-par (not a real surprise considering the MBPs rating)
but better than most any smart phone!"
what SMART phones are you talking about? the lowest end ones? (which are free BTW with a plan and not $599)
the JasJar/HTC Universal has 8hrs rated battery life, if you throw in the hi-cap battery you have 16hrs (its litterally doublesized)
my Tytn is capable of 10hrs talk with a double battery,
"No expandable memory (we knew this already, but if a chip goes bad, all your data is gone and you are screwed because you have to send it back to apple and you will have no phone)
that is just a fact of life...
but your data syncs"
ok yeah any pda phone can have a backup of the data on board as well as sync. great, but when your internal memory is no longer addressable (because its defective flash) how are you going to sync it back up? you are missing memory space. if i have a defective transflash card, i got buy another one for $15-$20, the 4GB transflash cards are only $40-$60
"No Voice dialing (even the 4 yr old nokia 3390 had this)
Never used this at all, guess it is a bit of a drawback"
so you look at your phone to dial someone when you are driving? with mine i have voice command i hit the MFB on my bluetooth headset and i say "call Persons name" my phone asks to confirm if its the person i want and i say yes, dont even know where my phone is in my bag which is either in the backseat or trunk. it dials and when im done i hit the MFB again to hang up. just becuase you dont use it, i guarentee you that hundreds of thousands of people do.
IM through the webbrowser, ok...
how many things are you going to compromise to the browser? does the browser have tabbing so you can somewhat multi task? can you even multitask at all on the iphone?
also have fun PAYING for your ring tones. songs you already purcahse but have to pay again to use them. thats hilarious.
It's like, what's your objective?
Convince millions of people not to do something?
Why take it upon yourself to convince people that what they're doing is stupid?
I mean, I'm doing it... but I'm only targeting one person. It's a lot easier!
no just to educate people that dont know whats out there so they can do better with their money. im not here to rip you off, im just here to prove there are better uses for the money you earned. this comes down to "bang for the buck"
