"Satisfied" iPhone 3GS owners
Of 200 iPhone 3GS users polled in August, 2009, 99 percent termed themselves "satisfied," with 82 percent saying they were "very satisfied."
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
no, the PR photos and the website always had the arrows and car
Yeah, those exact pictures have been floating around the net for quite some time. Engadgets source verification is getting pretty flaky.
it's not really a complete navigation system if it doesn't have gps...which it doesn't. but i'm sure the directions and traffic work nicer then google maps on a treo.
i read somewhere that if u look up close the left button is a knife and fork, not two arrows, which means restaurants presumably and that the right button is to get directions... so don't get two excited. plus it doesn't have gps lol
who cares i'm still getting one
So it doesn't have GPRS which means its not actually navi, its twice the size of the majority of the phones out there, its a Smartphone that doesn't allow you to run any other apps than those provided and its got a button that presumably indicates restaurant locations that most likely nobody will ever use....wow, sounds like an awesome product. Its sad but I'm sure you can count on the usual mindless Mac addicts to pick one up.
Sounds like poster number 5, is a dumb ass. Get your facts right pal, don't slam something you are in the dark of.
If anyone downloaded Google Maps for their phone, they would notice that it also has the Traffic and directions icons for months now. I know this because i installed it on my nokia n95 with its built-in GPS and google maps has no support for it, but if you have a data connection [i.e wifi, edge] then u can use those two features. wow....... iphone's isnt all that great people....
The Sprint BB 8830 I've been beta testing has GPS and Google Maps will show you your current location when it starts up, but that's it. It doesn't continue to track you after that. The built-in BB Maps program sucks but at least it actually does GPS navi and shows speed and direction while driving. It doesn't announce directions, though.
They could always throw GPS into the iPhone. I don't think it really would have been that hard for them. I agree with most other people, though, and think that this is the same old non-gps Google maps prog.
I think the directions will tie in with the iPhone, but instead of having built in GPS, it would use Tower GPS where GPS is in the Cell phone tower.
Well, it's definitely a new(er) shot, since the carrier has changed from Cingular to AT&T, which happened on my Treo about a week ago.
'Traffic' and 'Directions' are what G Maps has available. On my Sony-Ericsson W810i I have to press the 3 key or the # key to access these features, or the Menu soft key to get a list. Been that way since last year, IIRC. I can even zoom in on the Eiffel Tower just like Steve.
You have to admit it's amusing that aside from the beautiful touchscreen and snazzy voicemail that the majority of iPhone features are available in a phone that's available from cingular for $69.99.
While EDGE isn't horrible for data (I have it on my BB 8700) 3G data is just so damn fast that it's a shame this phone doesn't have it.
