OMX-Knuckles Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Maybe I've been exceptionally lucky with AT&T but my previous phone (Samsung A707) was pretty open. No features were locked or restricted. I could download any 3rd party apps I wanted, install any ringtones and so on. Bluetooth sync and file transfer worked out the box, no special software or carrier-supplied programs. Needing 3rd party uploaders to get past restrictions is unacceptable, hence my frustration with the iPhone- but that's a problem with Apple, not AT&T. There's not even an AT&T logo to be seen on the iPhone.

InteliMac Pro Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 iPhone = Form over function But how did you know that I take crazy pills??? Well as long as the current status quo from AT&T and Apple is maintained i'm inclined to agree with you. However, the iPhone has the potential to be the most amazing thing since, well, anything.

mumford Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 However, the iPhone has the potential to be the most amazing thing since, well, anything. Didn't those morons, waiting overnight in the freezing cold and paying for an overpriced, useless, locked gadget, say the same thing back in July?

InteliMac Pro Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'll take a locked iPhone over a Windows mobile phone any day. Just because Apple's being a bunch of pricks doesn't change the fact that they'll get them unlocked again and everybody'll be happy. Should you have to keep unlocking it? No. But it is what it is.
