There's a definition for people like this: Losers. #41 - Well stated. The EDGE network is working well enough for me, but I'm also heavily using WiFi. If I had to use EDGE the majority of the time it would be another conversation. I find it interesting that the anti-iPhone guys here lost this argument yet can’t shut up.

It's a cool device. I just don't want one myself. I don't need all the functions. And I like the cellular service I have now. Alltel has much better signal coverage in my area than AT&T.

One doesn't get to experience the advent of something that will change technology every day. Furthermore, it is fun talking to fellow fans and browsing even more of them in iPhone lines all over America while waiting. I think that what the Pedros of the world most fail to understand is: Life is short. You should try to enjoy it while you can. Here's hoping someone introduces these people to pleasure before they die. I waited in line for the iPhone for the experience.

No I didn't camp out for the 360, I got one a month ago. Camping out is for idiots (example - I just walked into the SF Apple store and bought one on Sat, in and out in 5 mins tops). I'm not trying to evangelize the iPhone, you either want it or you don't. You seem to have missed where I was asked about the iPhones performance - I answered the questions, not randomly pimped the phone. And you're right - it's just a phone, I am, and I was using it. Not trying to justify anything. You're the one that seems to have their panties in a bunch over it... with all the nerd and star wars insults. I bought it because I needed a net capable phone... and I'm enjoying it as such, nothing more nothing less. I never claimed browsing the net was new, that's your little strawman. Why are you so bitter about that? pedro, that at least made me laugh, well done.

In a number of cases, CNET has tilted the balance for me either for or against a tech item. Most recently, it was my current TV. They (and their reader reviewers who chime in with real-world experience) haven't led me wrong, yet. Hype like this will inevitably provoke a backlash because said hyped device - in addition to being a very slick piece of tech - does have flaws, and some of those flaws will be deal-breakers for some people. I tend not to take the absolutist detractors seriously, but give more attention to those who point out specifics that they have a problem with. Edge was a definite trade-off for Apple (battery life and coverage map vs. speed), and those trade-offs will get a lot of attention. Me, I will very likely wait for a faster connection, since I would probably use it primarily as an internet device. More subjective complaints about the touch-screen UI have to be taken with a grain of salt - I distinctly remember a BYTE columnist in the 80s who said that the mouse would never catch on because people would not want to take their hands off the keyboard. A personal preference rears its head in the guise of an objective evaluation. #39. In a number of cases, CNET has tilted the balance for me either for or against a tech item.

I remember when I took them seriously, too. Nevertheless, I wish EDGE was faster... But the speed difference between it and Verizon's EVDO is negligable to me. As for your comments regarding the detractors, I'm having a hard time taking even the serious ones seriously: All of them tend to talk more about the hype than the specs. #29 – Going with CNET, are you?
