I mean what does iphone have that other phone don't, iphone 3g lacks basic features like sms forwarding, bluetooth transfer, video call/video recording, fm, cut copy paste etc and add to that Its locked to specific network and expensive. So why do you think people buy this phone, I know it looks good and there are die apple fans out there but is it worth the money..? im looking for some credible answers.

Even i feel the same . I really dont think Iphone is worth the money you spend with this many disadvantages in it. Fir that same money i can buy two Nokia n series which has Bluetooth sms forwarding and video calling. people buy it just for the sake of the brand tag of apple.

well I have an I-phone and I have a friend who runs a phone shop and to be honest I have tried various new phones as they come out and nothing compares to the I-Phone even tried a new blackberry and was terrible compared to what I have.

The I-Phone has bluetooth I transfer all my pictures and photos that I take using bluetooth it also connects to my in car bluetooth hands free system. You can also copy and paste if you have the version 3 software installed which is the new update for the I-Phone it will also do sms and mms.

Compared to other phones I have tried the I-Phone is just so responsive the touch screen is amazing, the applications are great aswell as being an ipod. I use the i-phone for business and pleasure and so far theres not a phone out there that in my opinion gets close to the i-phone and I try all the new handsets.

You can also get the i-phone tomb stoned and unlocked as the i-phone is no longer tied to o2.

I ain't a die hard apple fan as usually change my phone every year but have had the various i-phone versions for a few years now and so far nothing gets close to it.

Is it worth the money depends what you want to do, if you want a business/personal phone and ipod then yes its well worth the money.

If you are just after a normal phone with no bell's and whistles then buy a cheaper handset and don't get an i-phone.

Hope this help's

I think people buy the iphone because of all that you can do with it and the apps you can get for it. I have seen the iphone, but have never used one. I do have the ipod touch, which is just like the iphone, but without the camera, mic or being able to call. I am not with AT&T, so I can'g get the iphone with Verizon, and from what I understand they will never have the iphone, as they have the droid which is supposed to be just like the iphone. My daughter lives with a family that has the iphone, and she siad it is a nice phone, as she has used it to do things online. Beleive me if I were with AT&T, I would have the iphone, for sure. I have heard the battery life isn't all that good in them though, but since I have never used one, that I am not positive of. I am sure someone will enlighten me. Take care, ad happy mylotting. happy

I don't think people buy iphone for its apps, Yes it has some innovative apps but the phones like nokia n series has 5 times the apps available for iphone..I don't see a valid reason..

well, if you actually use its features like 100%, I think it's worth paying for. However, I see a lot of people buying it because of its popularity, and they have no idea how to use its other features except calls and SMS.

If you are running an OS 3.0 or above you can actually forward an SMS and also sending MMS, copy cut and paste. For video recording, you can also install an application like cycorder, videorecorder3g etc. In addition, if you do not want to use it with a specific service provider, you can unlock it.

If you watch closely only 70% of USERS buy iPhone, but actually a large mass is buying one or more iPhones just for developing apps for it and earn money, but they also become a part of iPhone users.

The main strength of iPhone is the intuitive touch interface, apart from that the accelerometer is a fun thing and made games more fun, like never before. In a tear down in some website it was estimated that the total manufacturing cost of 16GB iPhone 3GS is under $200 USD, but no one can value the software in it. The software is a big plus for the iPhone. All the tables, views, images etc are really good design and snappy when you use it! This and more asks people to buy or crave over iPhone.

So far I have bought 3 iPhones! 2G, 3G and 3Gs!
