meet the iphone killer…should be out soon.  
 ![1191176http://www.mobiledia.com/news/images/56414-1.jpg]()

samsung F700 \> iphone

from everything thing ive read its got all the stuff the iphone should of had.  
keyboard, better camera, better codec support, faster download(up to 7.2Mps)  
plus i think its coming out for sprint first & then verizon later…Sprint & verizon’s EVDO network is faster them AT&T/cingular

network speed sprint \> verizon \> cingular

the verizon version will be called the samsung SCH-U940

the iphone does have a bigger screen, but thats a positive & negative, depends on if you want a bigger screen or smaller device.

Make sure you flip the Post-it over and use both sides. That was actually suggested at a friend’s company. Yeah… that kind of kills the whole “posting” part…

Just goes to show that someone at that company fell in love with the marketing of the IPhone, not the actuality of how it works in a business environment.

I finally talked my boss into getting a phone that is email capable (along with some other stuff) because we had a change in business that will necessitate him being out of the office almost as much if not more than me.

I say to him “Go down to the AT&T store and get an 8300 Blackberry and come back”

Some douchebag talks him into an IPhone. He comes back and says “Well, they said this will be exactly the same! And it’s better!”

I didn’t say a word. Picked it up, went back down to the AT&T store, put it in the box and tossed it at the guy whos business card I had.

“If I don’t get an 8300 Blackberry right now and get rid of this piece of shit IPhone, I’ll more our entire account to Sprint. And they are only a 35ft walk away.”

Plus, it’s not like I have anywhere NEAR the integration needed that somewhere with 1500 accounts would, but nonetheless, the Iphone for business instead of a Blackberry/Palm is fucking retarded.
