I don't even bother to read Pogue's reviews since the hard drive recovery service review he did and was discovered it was paid for.
Pogue's review is wrong on so many counts it isn't even funny. From methodology, description and so on. People interested in communication technology should read websites that specialize in this kind of things like gsmarena.com, mobile-review.com and see how a review should be done. For example he compares it with the Iphone on a regular basis, though they are not in the same category, or still not because Apple won't release a SDK untill february.
A real review of a phone should be made like this (for you iphone lovers), or a Nokia N81 review, and i will shut up now and not comment on Pogue again in my life.:)
Like that matters here in Germany. People here say: 399? no thanx that is my 1/4 of my salary, I'll happily wait. The touch screen is good, but good browser? I use opera mini, itunes? wtf should i do with itunes? No ringtones? Germans are very fond of their own ringtones:) No 3g? oh come on. And the list goes on an on. This is not madness. THIS IS EUROPE !;)
how is the fact that the iphone does not have 3G, Video, very weak contact - management, GPS, MMS, and that it is LOCKED, the fault of the carriers? If Iphone had those, and were tampered with by the carriers, your point would be valid.
i would like to give you some info on what i have seen in Nürnberg on the day of the launch/day after. First of all, the "T-Punkte", the T-mobile shops as they are called were no more busier than ever.At any given time, 2-4 people were playing with the demo phones asking stupid questions like: "can i use a local prepaid card when i am in Italy, where i go 2-3 times a year?" you should have seen their faces. Because europeans tend to travel inside the EU a lot more often and they do tend to buy local prepaid cards in order to benefit from the local charges.
And on another note, in Köln on the day of the launch, they had 800Iphones on stock. After the big lines at midnight went away, they have sold 200 iphones. So there was not the craze as in the usa.
If you are competing against word , excel....etc. then yes, it would be royalty based but not forbidden to use. But photoshop is not a competitor in the Office market - and that would make it royalty free (according to Microsoft). Besides, the patent is problematic because of prior art.
Since I started with Word 2007 (using it on a daily basis) i must say, the ribbon is one of the best new features of Office. It saves me a lot of trouble and it is very intuitive. Maybe that is a good place to start. (now bash me for my Office simphaty:)
It looks like the only alloy common to the stabilizer and the replicator is nitrium.
(to computer)
Computer, analyze the nitrium content of the affected stabilizer and replicator.
that would be the job of a reviewer, however we tend to know what Pogue will say; even if it were a good MS product, Pogue will tell you it is crap; so no Pogue is not to be trusted. sorry
Nokia has sold 252 million handsets in Q1 2007 and has 36 per cent global share. Apple expects to sell 10 million iphones next year, and i am still waiting for the SDK for Android./this will not be like the fight for searches./much much harder.
I see your point, and this maybe is Ok under US laws. However I am really curious what will happen in Europe, or at least in Germany, where phones come unlocked if bought through a contract and where unlocking is very much legal (and i think more than that, it is the users right to have it unlocked). So, if it my right to have the Iphone unlocked and Apple prevents me from it, than what?
again, i am saying again!: carriers warn you (in europe) when entering their network. if the guy did not receive a sms, the phone was off. if he received it and the phone was on standby and still not announced it, apple has an issue to resolve.
european carriers warn u when welcoming you on their network through an sms. this is 2007, europe, consumer friendly. cut the venom:) - if the guy did not get a welcoming sms, the phone was off - no standby, and if it was in standby and did not announced the sms, then Iphone has a serious issue. basta.
European Carriers warn you when changing networks through an SMS: "Welcome to A1 Austria,...blah blah"; Welcome to 02 network Germany....". So if he was warned, though the Iphone was on, and he didn't get the sms - it is Apples design fault; simple as that.
yeah but imagine traveling into space using tools others built! like all the bacteria on different space ships. Now that is a much better feat.:) so in that respect, the bacteria are much much better: no investment other than patience:)

let me rephrase that in the right timeline: iphone stays behind symbian even when uses the same core broswer, webkit /ducks :)

1150 USD for the unlocked iphone ? Jesus. So this is a no go for me. (i wanted it unlocked - traveling a lot in europe and i use local sim cards).

well, David Pogue isn't what I would call an objective reviewer. For reference see this link. You'll see what I mean.

well iphone was named time invention of the year and we know how close to the truth that is.
Samsung is in on Symbian with 4,5%. They also ship Linux powered phones. What makes you think they will go ALL IN on this alliance?
you bastard, you owe me a new lapto!ÜE*134q-
it seems that the consensus is that Apple was forced to lock the phone; but why not other competitors?
I'll pretend you didn't write that and still hoping to make a point for Apple.
I see your point, and this maybe is Ok under US laws.

you mean estoppel? :) sorry had to...
Would you mind replacing Apple with Microsoft, Ipod with Vista and see if you still get modded interesting.
