“Hey, this is Angry Drunk’s iPhone. He has AT&T, so he’s got, like, zero bars in his own gods damned bedroom. Hope you didn’t have anything important to say.

Seriously AT&T, this is fucked up.

Commence the derision by the “don’t buy an iPhone” crowd.”

Wish I could help you with your eye-hand coordination problems buddy. I’ve had an iPhone for all of a week and I’m not having any issues typing with my sausage-like digits. Maybe you’re just spastic.

Nice attempt at an insult with the fat Kevin Smith line. I guess everyone with a beard looks alike to you. I’ll be sure not to mention your male pattern baldness and chin pubes in any future piece I do on you.

Stay classy yourself, you magnificent shit monkey.

I’ll take your criticism because you are funny and remind me of Kevin Smith before he lost all the weight. But please, I insist, keep your points: the virtual keyboard on the iPhone totally sucks.

When I tap a key I would like seeing the correct letter on the screen to be more than a pleasant surprise. Any QUERTY BlackBerry beats the iPhone when it comes to text entry. As a Web browsing device, the iPhone is amazing. As portable email machine it totally blows. Not for nothing, but just about the only good thing I can say about the iPhone’s virtual keyboard is that it is that you can’t get sand in it.

Unless, of course, you have freakishly small hands. And in that case, God has played yet another cruel joke on you.

Stay classy,

Dan

Easy: it’s a genre, an artistic format for shills, like “live by satellite” or “sings the oldies”. Everybody’s got to go through that once, some over and over again.

In the U.S., yes. The iPhone 3G is launching in 22 other countries and AT&T has nothing to do with it. They read the WWW there, too, Dan.

@ Cursing Makes You Right:
It is very easy to see this post as a personal attack against Dan if the only thing you read is the title! When you actually jump in and read the little words then you’ll soon see the point.

It is unfortunate that we do have articles like these that are all over the web. It’s not just the “PC guys” doing it! I have seen a great deal of hot-air articles from Mac guys and even the odd linux one too. They cover the tech pages and it really doesn’t benefit anyone who is actually shopping for good advice!

Now before you all jump on the “they’re told to write this” band wagon, just consider the refreshing experience if one of these guys actually wrote a fair assessment! I was going to say balanced but sometimes a product IS just pants! (Vista is a case in point! Not a good word to be said about it!)

Now I own a 1st gen iPhone and I recognise its shortfalls like probably every other user. I have been offered a cheap upgrade deal to the new model so I signed on the dotted line. It can’t be worse can it!?

I really can’t say much more, so I will simply sign off, as the red mists descends I am just please I am now a proud member of the TAD lynch mob!
