Heh... I didn't mean you specifically. Its just its fairly apparent there will be a 3g iPhone in June. So why do we need constant stories about it in tech websites...?

Next few Engadget headlines:

"Forthcoming 3g iPhone has had plans sent to manufacturer"
"3g iPhones plans looked at by manufacter"
"Manufactuer starts 3g iPhone production"
"First 3g iPhone produced"
"Second iPhone (3g) in production"
"3rd 3g iPhone in production : Production going well says Manufactuer"
"4th 3g iPhone Unit Being Produced : Workers excited"
"First Box of 3G iPhones shipped"

etc, etc, etc.

Not sure why everyone is posting up stories on this... We've known for a while the 3g iPhone is due sometime in June... :confused:

True, but I'm only interested if I can get it without having a long contract.

Some other interesting phones out this year.
 
Incredible: iPhone is most popular cameraphone on Flickr

Not only is the iPhone one helluva Internet browser, it is also a great camera phone. According to Flickr, the 2 megapixel wonder is so good, it beats out the more feature packed (5 megapixel w/flash) Nokia N95 in the amount of users that upload to Flickr. After 3G? It isn't even going to be funny...

The point is a great deal of criticism have been about its camera and irony of irony its the most popular phone to take pix with on flickr!
 
But is it a surprise that the a phone that has the best web browser and is marketed as having the internet in your pocket has users who upload the most photos?

Why should anyone care what people use to take pictures? It's the snaps that count, not what was used to take them.

:confused:

Probably because its very easy to transfer pictures from the phone, with a Mac it takes seconds and about three mouse clicks. Its also the first camera phone I've had that does the same on Ubuntu. Plug an iPhone into a USB slot and Ubuntu will prompt you where to save pics. Nice. (Interestingly the Touch does the same...)

Its not a "Pro" camera by any means, but its nice that is so simple. And the more people able to record experiences and loved ones is better, no...?

It's pretty easy on most new phones to be honest.

Some Nokia phones, for example, let you upload photos to Flickr with just a single click, and it's easy to set up most phones so that users are prompted where to save the pics when connected to a PC.

It is ironic though that the average photo taken by consumers is now of worse quality than those taken 50 years ago!
 
Not really given everything digital seems to lead to worse quality, at least initially.

Take CD or even MP3 vs Vinyl, or the thinness of DAB compared to FM. We seem to have become amore and more obsessed with getting lots of everythign (see everyone boasting about the size of their mp3 collections) but far less worried about the quality.

The funny thing is that despite the fact that people are taking zillions more photos, they may end up with less photos to look at in their old age thanks to changing file standards, hard drives failing, less photos being printed, the lack of negatives and the generally shorter term life of inkjet prints.

Exactly what I've been moaning about since the very first digital cameras appeared :p
 
Last year we got our best 300 photos from the last few years printed properly. Think I might make it a regular thing.

That's one of the oddest things I've read on here. People like stats, plain and simple.

The stats are fine but it's your comment that I found bizarre:

"Not too me but I dare say the naysayers are going 'lalala laaa I can't hear you' given how much they love to hate the iPhone."

Who are you on about? Who here is going to take exception to iPhone's camera being used a lot?

Comments I've read on the net. Quite simply it shows that people aren't bothered by their anti iPhone propaganda.

Well... The graph is a bit misleading. Its pitching two different Nokia phones at the one iPhone. (ie, all of Apple's phone products, (ie 1) up against a tiny selection of Noka's).

And it depends on what you mean by "anti iPhone propaganda". There's a lot of uniformed bollocks posted by people in the comments of blogs like Engadget, etc, but I don't think many people take any notice of that...

"anti iPhone propaganda."?

WTF?!!! The iPhone enjoyed the most hyperbolic press campaign known to mankind, has received outrageous amounts of press way out of proportion to its actual abilities and has been hyped to the hills and beyond by armies of wildly enthusiastic bloggers and drooling websites like FanBoy Central, Engadget (the biggest gadget site on the web, in case you've forgotten).

Sounds to me like most of this anti-iPhone 'propaganda' campaign exists mainly in your head because the amount of positive press far, far, far outweighs the negative.

Mind you, if you want an example of what a real "anti-product" campaign looks like, look no further than the Foleo.

Good point. Nokia are the biggest phone manufacturers in the world and outsell Apple by a phenomenal margin.

True but there's also a lot of so called 'experts' spouting bullshit that has little bearing to the ordinary user hence the term.

So first there were your "naysayers" who apparently "loved to hate the iPhone," as part of their "anti iPhone propaganda" and now there's these "so-called 'experts'" who are busy "spouting anti-iPhone "bullshit" that has "little bearing to the ordinary user."

As I said before, as far as I can see the iPhone enjoyed the most hyperbolic press campaign known to mankind, has received outrageous amounts of press way out of proportion to its actual abilities and has been hyped to the hills and beyond by armies of wildly enthusiastic bloggers.

But seeing as you keep going on and on about this "anti iPhone propaganda," could you furnish me with some examples please?
 
T-Mobile confirms 3G iPhone, says Austrian report


T-Mobile today confirmed that Apple Inc. will soon announce a 3G-based iPhone and said that its Austrian customers would be among the first to get their hands on the new smart phone, according to a newspaper report from Vienna.

On Monday, der Standard, an Austrian national daily, posted a story to its German-language Web site quoting T-Mobile saying a 3G iPhone would be available "soon" and that the Austria would be one the first markets to see the new Apple smart phone.


The newspaper also quoted T-Mobile spokesman Hendrik Kasteel as saying that the mobile provider would debut "more flexible" service plans when the 3G iPhone launched.
