too bad Cingular blows goats for service (please take no offense... there's bad blood).

I'm a diehard apple guy - but so disappointed in their choice for service provider.

Right there with ya. I dropped ALL my BellSouth services a couple years back. I was spending $200 a month with them, and a Cingular CSR and her supervisor had the balls to treat me like they didn't want or need my business...

"Oh, really? Okie dokie!" Cancelled all my BS services within a month.

Today, I have T-Mobile, whose CSRs treat me like a king, Comcast Internet, which is 6x as fast as my DSL was for $10 more, and no home phone line at all... who needs it? Skype anyone?

That's the problem with so many large organizations - losing "one" customer means nothing to them so consequently, everyone's service suffers. I applaud you for refusing to do business with them.

As far as the "i" well teh iriver gets a bad rap because of "I" pod.

Oh yeah, I forgot about iRiver. I used to have an iRiver portable CD player that was great - it played CD-R's with MP3s, was firmware flashable, had an EQ, and all sorts of programmable settings. And this was about 3-1/2 years ago. Why they chose to ride the coat tails of the "i" syndrome is beyond me because their product stands up just fine on its own.

I was just reading about it on the apple website when you posted. Very interesting! I was considering the Blackjack, but now I just may wait.

Hey everyone has thier own opinion on things thats why we live in this greta country we live in. I have cingular beause I get some what of a discount so well I am a cheap-o and why not. SO biju why the hate... well anger? feel free that or can pm me I am instrested. Maybe something can be fixed. Working for the phone company alot of people get upset or frustrated because someone wont take time to sit down and figure out how to reslove or dont ask questions. I dont know answers to everything ok well hardly anything but maybe I can help. Course there are some people that were wronged and its understandable. But no worries biju I in no way take offense its one's own opinion.




EDIT::: o and anita I love my blackjack dont get me wrong but I am a electronic junkie. Gotta have gotta have. course within my wallets means but still. Also I will never again go without a qwerty keyboard again

But no worries biju I in no way take offense its one's own opinion.

I probably came off too harsh...

First, the apple phone is crazy nice - and I can see myself owning one someday. (when it's available to other providers!) Second, I understand totally about the Qwerty keyboard! I (seemingly) can't live without it these days...

Didn't mean to hijack your thread about this cool Apple phone... but I feel all wireless phone companies blow/suck (take your pick - whichever is less offensive).

Cingular just happens to be at the very bottom of my doodoo list for various reasons (too many to get into).

Thanks for understanding - and not getting upset at my opinion. On the other hand, i DARE anybody to have a negative opinion about the iPhone (let the discussion continue, and opinions FLY!!!)...

I want one, but Im waiting for them to release version 2.0, so all the bugs are worked out. Also, I dont have $600 to spare for a new phone, and wont have it in June either.

Im spending on my Vehicross instead.

sorry to spam my own thread... anyways Yeah I saw the 599 price sticker but like all cell phone companies I hope that is and outright buy it price not one with a contract. But here is for hoping if not then here is for waiting till price comes down.

I had a chance to demo a T-Mobile Dash a few weeks back ... They were trying to get us to buy them at work. I liked it because it ran the latest windows mobile... AND had WiFi built in. so i could use the browser at any hotspot without incurring data charges. Basically, its a little wider but shorter than the BlackJack, but has about the same functionality. I had to turn it back in a couple of weeks later - demo over

I have been with Cingular as my provider since the Comcast Metrophone & CellularOne days and dont see myself switching. Every other phone ive used for work (nextel, sprint, tmobile) has had horrible dropped calls and just plain weak signals here in the Philadelphia area.

This iPhone does seems l like a cool toy - Too bad I dont like iTunes... and too bad it doesnt have a full keyboard (almost a requirement for me )
