Granted, there are phones that are a lot bulkier, but I don't want a PDA. That said, I don't think the RAZR stat can be compared. I think the iPhone will still do pretty well, however.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2007 3:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think the notion of bulk on cell phones is becoming moot.

The appeal of the RAZR was that it was one of the first phones you could easily carry in a pants or shirt pocket. It was certainly the reason I purchased one; I don't like holsters or clip-on carry cases, and I'd prefer not have an unsightly bulge in whatever pocket my phone is in. As much as I've been eyeing some of the PDA phones out there, I just haven't been able to come to grips with the size of them. This might be purely superficial to some, but it's a very important purchasing factor for many, especially for men who don't have purses to keep their Treo or Blackberry in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2007 8:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[They should do a survey to see how many people who want the iPhone know what it actually does...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kashif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2007 7:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't wait for the News Stories.<br><br>"Millions of Apple fanboys commit mass suicide as iPhone's suckiness reveals that Steve Jobs is, in fact, not god!"<br><br>"Lack of iPhone sales reveals that not all apple products are what they are hyped to be.

I don't think the iPhone is as big as you think it is.  Compared to the Razr, it's 1/3 of an inch wider, 2/3 of an inch taller, but it's also a bit thinner.  It's also slightly smaller than the Q in each dimension.  I'm not saying it's tiny (nor is it by any means perfect), but it ain't exactly large.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[maxmo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2007 10:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[The comparison is invalid.<br>1) The RAZR was eventually available on all networks during the peak of its popularity.<br>2) People NOT responsible for their own bills will own one.

This makes great strides in convergence, but I want a full smartphone. And that price point is nuts. I'll believe the soft keyboard when I see it but just don't have much hope for something with no tactile feedback and teeny areas for big thumbs. I'll also believe the battery specs when I see them. As suck as iPods and smartphones are with battery life, try combining them. Blah blah blah nothing you haven't heard.<br><br>But for the size/bulk crowd out there, remember that you can compare the iPhone to your favorite gizmo or small object over at Sizeasy - <a href="http://sizeasy.com" rel="nofollow">http://sizeasy.com</a> . The iPhone is one of their stock comparables. Google your favorite gizmo's specs, enter the there, and compare. It's really pretty slim. A bit taller than I'd like, but plenty slim. I think it will pocket nicely, at least sans case.<br><br>Wonder how the weight will feel in, say, a front shirt pocket? Hope it ain't 3G ipod heavy. That thing is a ground magnet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kookoobirdz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2007 1:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[And whatever happened to the fingerprint smudge issue?

Everything new has some shit that isn't great so i'd wait until version 2 or 3 IMO. Plus i'd never get one for the simple reason that i'd kill myself if i dropped it!!

I think most young active people (target demographic, no?) will realize a touchscreen phone isn't that great when they start cracking though. Also, anyone remember how many mistypes St. Steve had during the keynote? I saw a few..but man it is sexy :)<br><br>All said, its not the phone price I'm worried about, but rather what AT&T is going to make me pay them each month to have the privilege of using this thing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bittermormon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2007 11:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey: two-thirds say "no thanks" to iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/02/survey-two-thirds-say-no-thanks-to-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Check out the battle between Seth Godin and Laura Ries regarding the success/failure of the iPhone.<br><br><a href="http://verneharnish.typepad.com/growthguy/2007/05/godinrie_smackd.html" rel="nofollow">http://verneharnish.typepad.com/growthguy/2007/05/godinrie_smackd.html</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2007 9:45PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
