Right - i picked one up today.... I was totally dis-interested in getting it on release day (am in no way some kind of hipster fan boy), but my current iphone 4 was very beat up (smashed glass back etc and i use it for work emails etc) and i was in the mall anyway so i thought i'd just see the masses at the apple store - rocked up, and the line was tiny, with a wait time of about 10 minutes... so i got all up in that shit and picked one up on upgrade (only $199, so thought fuck it...)

Anyway, long story short.... that siri shit is very cool... and the 1080p HD Vid Camera and HDR photo stuff is great.

Oh and LOL at all the stupid fucks camping out for a day or so before the launch - 10 minutes.... haha.

Anyone else pick one up today? Any profound first impressions?

get the galaxy s2 instead. software is much better for the camera




but i work for sprint and its been nutty today. love making commission. had a group of 4 people camp out since 11pm last night...the new phone is nice, siri works pretty good, but fuck this thing is heavy as shit. its fast, but the screen is alright, not as nice as expected. imo id go with the galaxy s2...or the prime thats coming out in a month or so

A thing about siri I found out was the voice recognition. At first, it didn't work too well..... so i looked at the language, and it was in English (US). I am british, so my accent was obviously causing some mischief - i changed it to English (UK) and it worked perfect...

I think that's pretty fucking cool....

questionable. the OS is very similar to iOS in ease of use and stuff like that, and the hardware is sexy

Yeah I looked into it and since I don't have an upgrade for another 9 months it would be like 650 bones for the 16GB. FUCK THAT. My Epic will have to do for another 9 months.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS CALL ME OUT FOR NO REASON?

I COULD PAY FOR MY OWN DATA PLAN. I JUST DON'T LIKE IPHONES.

OMG IS THAT AN ANTELOPE

Click for larger image



anyway, i have the iphone 4 and i recently upgraded to iOS 5. anyway, i really like the updates and new stuff they added to iOS 5 but i feel like it wasn't the wisest business decision in terms of getting current users to upgrade to the 4S.

(Yes, i do know that pre-orders for the 4S broke 1,000,000 in the first 24 hours....just saying)

but i'm glad they released it for current iphone holders

Oh give me a break there is no comparison. Im not even an iPhone user and I know just from the iPad os that comparing them is just wishful thinking

waiting patiently till next year for the iphone5, 4g and for it to be released on tmobile.

Till then.

I've got a perfectly well working jailbroken origional iphone working on tmobile. :)
The edge network is actually pretty fast considering I think I may be the only person in this town still using it.

Has anyone fucked around with Siri yet? I stumbled across some shots of some of the things it says, and it seems pretty fucking smart and witty.

I lol'd at that siri blog.

also, my 4S is ordered and I need to get a case, is the 4s the exact same dimensions as the 4, so getting 4 case will fit?

Can't understand the hype about this siri shit - Android's got similar personal assistant recognition for months now.

Sent from Galaxy s2, iphone killer since May 2011. :P
