I find it funny...

The iphone is currently at a user rating of 3.58 on phonescoop while the new chocolate is sitting at a score of 3.99. I know it isn't comparing apples to apples (no pun intended), I just found it humorous.

It's a very polarizing phone. Some ppl prolly marked it way down 'cuz either they had sky-high unreachable expectations for it, or 'cuz they're sick of all the hype and wanted to 'strike back'.

I think the same thing happened on a lesser scale when VZW finally got the RAZR... there were a lot of user reviews, and they were very mixed. Not that the V3c was a great phone by any stretch, but it deserved a little bit better than a '3.36'.

Well the iPhone doesn't have voice dial which is crazy because the phone is completely touch screen. The is one of many reasons why the iPhone rating is not so great.

that you actually did all that, umm... searching... The phone has a low rating thanks to guys like MidnightDT who OBVIOUSLY do NOT own one, and who obviously gave it a poor rating due to its love affair with the REE (Red Evil Empire).

The iPhone is a cool device until you realize what you just paid $600 for. The browser gives you dial up speed unless you're on a wi-fi network. Nothing else in that phone is original or up to date. You're paying $600 for a user interface. Is it worth $600 to get a phone that looks cool? I don't think it is. Maybe you just have money to burn.


I thought they were amazing devices until I played with one. I was turned off the device pretty quickly.

Screw the iPhone. You can get Sprint's LG LX570 aka the MUSIQ for $100 after a $150 instant discount and a $650 mail in rebate with a 2 year contract and a 4 GB card for $150. Sprint's nights and weekends on the majority of their wireless plans start at 7 pm at no charge. Verizon Wireless can't state that nor having the largest and fastest broadband network either.

True dat. And if you do decide to leave, VZW will actually let you, unlike Sprint:

Wasn't it just last month that Sprint was canceling contracts? Now they won't let them go?

They cancelled the contracts of only a very small group of ppl who called into customer service a ton... it was only like 1200 ppl, if I remember correctly. Those 1200 were losing them money due to very heavy CS utilization.

This other situation is obviously different... and yet the same in one way. By 'pulling an AOL' and making it extremely hard for millions of customers to leave, this, like dropping the 1200 customers, definitely benefits Sprint's bottom-line.

Of course, both policies totally trash Sprint's reputation, but who cares about that, right? That won't ever catch up to them to bite t...

Chocolate is better then the Muziq (read the reviews) sorry man.
