More than mostly false; I'd still stick with just plain false. ;-) My statement was in response to your statement here: > I know, hardly anyone uses it (iPhone) as a phone, and the reviews say > its not a great phone..... I'm having a hard time following your point. With all due respect, you appear to be mincing words to prove something. Hardly anyone uses it as a phone? The reviews say it's not a great phone? Most of the reviews I have read on the net - and on freaking Time magazine as "Invention of the Year" (October 31, 2007 issue) state (if I may paraphrase) that's it's a pretty decent phone - among the other things. And call quality sounds no worse than any other phone I have used in the past 15 years IMHO. Now you may think that sounding no worse is not the same as being a good phone, but I digress - *it is a good phone.* If most of your friends that bought it don't use it as a phone, then you should question their judgment to purchase a device which generally requires a 2 year cellular phone company contract to use it to its full capacity. They should have bought an iPod Touch instead! -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
