Well... I generally don't recommend buying a first generation anything because they usually have some small issues and bugs that are worked out in later revisions and models, but because this is an Apple product I wouldn't be so worried. Steve Jobs is known for not rushing things to market and he puts alot of time and effort into getting everything worked out before they start to actually ship. From what I have seen on TV it is a really cool little device and I would trade a video iPod for one if it were me. Apple makes very high quality stuff. |

Post Number: 2452 Registered: Feb-06 | my friends 14 year old sister got one... it works very nicely... alot better than i thought.. it's a little hard to understand some part of it, but overall it's an incredible device... the internet is pretty fast and like the commercials say, it isn't watered down at all. the touch keys are a little testy and are kinda of small for me since i have big hands, but overall it's cool as hell and if you don't have an ipod and need a new phone then i would say go for it if you got 660 to spend with taxes and another 60-70+ bucks a month for a good plan for the phone |

Post Number: 4787 Registered: Feb-06 | don't get one, not worth it. i was actually going to get one till i messed with a friends iphone. best thing about it is the way it looks. definately not worth the money. internet really isn't as fast as you'd expect from it, not the largest mp3 player, etc. i say wait till the next generation comes out and they fix everything and lower the price a bit. not to mention what you have to go through to replace the battery, that right there was the thing that totally turned me off to buying one. |

Post Number: 4788 Registered: Feb-06 | "Although its iPhones won't be out of warranty for another year, Apple is attempting to stave off future bad press -- like it received when iPod batteries began exceeding their life span -- by announcing a battery replacement program. iPhone users will be able to pay $79 plus $6.95 shipping for a new battery. Because the iPhone's battery is not removable like previous iPods, the device must be sent into Apple for repair. The service will take about three business days, Apple says, and users must back up their data beforehand - a simple process via iTunes. While some might characterize the program as expensive, Apple will still replace non-charging batteries free of cost for the first year, and batteries for other cell phones can run up to $50." |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4789 Registered: Feb-06 | different article on it: "You probably know by now that the iPhone only lasts about 300-400 charges --and that's most likely full charges, not topping it off from 80% to 100% at night--before you have to send it into Apple for a replacement. Apple's just thrown up a page saying it's going to be $79 with $6.95 shipping, which is $85.95 per phone when you send yours in. Sending it in also wipes out all your saved data, so you'll have to resync it (but it also wipes out your text messages and email, which you may not be able to resync). Hopefully nobody will have to deal with this for another year or two." |

Post Number: 2455 Registered: Feb-06 | I don't know about the whole battery bit, but i know that it depends on your connection to depend on how fast the internet is. the internet was reasonable pages would load within 30 seconds 97% of the time and if not it probably took 35-45. ctmike. i'm pretty sure you played aroudn with the 4 gb iphone because the 8 gb iphone can hold as much music as you wanna throw at it |
