if this is true..time for Apple to have nightmares back again...dont remember properly but apple did have a problem wen HD2 released in US...they had filed some law suit against HTC
 
I already mentioned this when iPhone 4 was announced that hardware wise they wouldn't have anything to balk about 3-4 months from now.. Their best thing is battery..

BTW, some clarifications:

1. Yes, there will be an android version as well with similar specs

2. This is the new dual core proc (actuall tri core, but running 2 cores in SMP and 3rd core asymmetrically)

From what I have seen on the internet, Only a very few people buy iPhone's for reasons like user experience or hardware. A majority of their market comprises of fan's who deem it absolutely necessary to buy every apple product whether they need it or not. Some buy it as a sort of status symbol, some Americans for patriotic reasons, some because everyone else is buying one etc etc and the list of silly justifications goes on.

So I don't think any other company can make a product that cuts deep into Apple's market. Even if a few sensible users who got an iphone for legitimate reasons are swayed to another product, in my opinion it would represent less than 10% of Apples market. 90% of Apple's market would not be swayed no matter how crappy a product apple makes or how arrogant they behave and no matter how great a product the competition has.

So I don't see Apple having nightmares because HTC (or any other company) released a great phone. As for the patent related law suits, I think its just publicity stunt more than anything else. Apple is a relatively new player in the mobile phone market. They use more technology developed (and often patented) by others than others infringing Apple's patents. If Apple sues any of them, they too can counter with a their own list of patents and in the end any such attempts would end in stalemate.

mate wateva u wrote is absolutely true..i jus love apple products, u can call me a fanboy, but jus saw the HD3 leaked info , its too good to be true and that is 1 phone which can really dent the apple share..hope HTC get it right for their sake
 
^^ Large phones like HD2, Evo and their successors like HD3 and its android equivalent have a very limited market. A phone with a 4"+ screen is not something most mobile phone users find practical. I for one would definitely not be buying a phone like this. In fact I am currently contemplating purchasing a Galaxy S and its 4" screen is one of the things I am doubtful about. A phone should be pocket-able without causing discomfort to the user and at the same time remain safe. I guess phones like these are for people who can keep them in a pouch on their belt.

I would love to see that statement backed by facts/links. Though it is bought as a status symbol too is absolutely true, the UI experience is still miles ahead of the competition. It's true that Apple products do not give us as much freedom as the other companies do, but whatever they do is the best in the class. I'm no Apple fanboy, my phone runs on Android and I use Windows 7. But, after using Mac and iPhone, the 80-90% of the population ( talking about the non-techies ) would find it so much easier to adapt to the Apple Ecosystem.

Please don't think I'm flame baiting you.

Is Apple arrogant? Yes.

Do they take credit for older technologies by acting as if they invented it? Yes. ( Talking about video chat)

Are they going out of their way to trouble companies like Adobe? Yes.

90% of Apple's market would not be swayed no matter how crappy a product apple makes or how arrogant they behave and no matter how great a product the competition has

I'm sorry, but crappy? Really now. Which product are you referring to btw? And please don't take the liberty of calling the product crappy because it offers lesser features for a higher price, if that is what you are referring to. The product is not crappy, the price may be debatable.

From whatever I've heard from my friends who have bought iPhones, it is one of the most sturdiest out there. People I know have bought it in the gray market and have been using it for 2+ years now without any issues. And Apple international support is one of the best in the world. Even in India.

Usually Sir your posts are very well-written but the last one was a rant and a big one at that. You have to give the devil his due. :)
 
I don't want this thread side tracked, but i would just answer a few essential questions.

Its from my own personal experience and exposure to apple consumer base both professionally and personally. As for proof check various international forums / tech portals where iPhone users frequent. You will arrive at that conclusion soon.

They have a valid reason business reason for that. Jobs is genuinely afraid of Adobe and its Flash platform. Its not just Flash, but any other similar intermediate development layer that Jobs seriously wants to prevent from his iOS eco-system. Development layers such are those can affect his revenue model and so he resorted to such a tactic.

I was taking in future tense there. In any case existing iPhone's are not perfect either. At least certain aspects of them are crappy. For example every iPhone released so far (not just iPhone 4) has had various kinds of connectivity issues like call dropping, signal issues and issues with WLAN it was not a case of few defective units either. Not everyone may have had problems either. But they have failed under conditions where no other device had any issues. One could say most of these issues are because Apple has no expertise in mobile phones. Most of their initial experience was obtained during partnerships with Motorola for the iTunes Phone (ROKR). There are also other apple products that are crappy in their entirety. I have used OS X Tiger to Snow Leopard extensively and found them crappy. I have found and reported so many issues in Snow Leopard that I would say that I find it pretty close to Windows ME. Panther on the other hand was the second best OS I used.

In any case, back to the original topic please..

I am agreeing with you on this ain't I ? :)

I think that was mainly with AT&T's pathetic network rather than the iPhone. No one I know here has faced that kind of problems. There are genuine network issues with the new iPhone 4 though.

What does that even mean?

I would love that! :)
 
^^ AT&T may have added to the woes, but the iPhone's themselves have issues. If you search on the Internet, its a well known issue. A colleague here who owned an unlocked iPhone 3G has issues like loosing signal occasionally and call drops with BSNL Network while other phones on the same network had no issues. Also sometime back, we went on a company sponsored trip to a hill resort. We were told that the cellphone signal reception was somewhat flaky there. While all the Nokia phones had at worst one or two bars low on the signal indicators, a few other phones had indicators showing 50% or less signal but all of these phones were in a usable condition albeit with an occasional glitch. The people with iPhone's (all of which are either 2G or 3G models) on the other hand found their phones totally useless and unable to make calls. A colleague had to borrow my phone to make a call home.
 
It seems that every damn person you know on earth who owns an iPhone has had problems galore. I, for one, speak only from my personal experience. I have used all 3 versions of iPhone so far (been using since more than 2 years now) and have never till date had any issues that you mention. Neither have I heard of such problems from more than 10-15 relatives of mine who use the iPhone!! Strange co-incidence!!
 
^^ I am not directly acquainted with a tonne of iPhone users, but among the ones I am acquainted with (all of whom had iPhone 2G or 3G ), only two persons were completely happy and satisfied with their purchase.
 
^^ Guys..
Is this an Iphone thread or HD3 Rumor Thread...
Even HD3 Specs are not officially out yet..
Its just the leak, whose credibility is still under stake...
FYI, all marketing webpages are created the same and a Guy with Illustrator skills could regenerate the exact marketing page like 1st party..

One more thing...
How a 8MP sensor fitted in a 10mm body with the LCD and capacitive screen at the back...
Need to Find out..

Don't think those specs are for real. I'll believe it when I see it.

That is nothing unbelievable about it. Even Motorola is promising phones with 2GHz CPU's soon.

Again front camera missing :@ ... the only thing which I hate about HD2 and now HD3 too :@

Doesn't make too much of a difference in India. HD3 would be outdated by the time we get video calling here.
