    So instead of just carrying a fake wallet to give to robbers now you can also give them a fake iPhone, brilliant... as long as you can convince them the battery is flat. #iphonedummies

    Cool. Now all I need to do is buy a bluetooth headset, then set it inside this. After that I just hold it up to my head to talk while my real (ie: cheap) phone is in my pocket, thus making everyone around me think that I have an iphone. My plan cannot fail. #iphonedummies

    @Jrsy Devil's Bright Idea®: you should leave room for your ear inside so you can clip it on and walk around with an iphone hanging off your face. will make you the center of attention in any social area.

    @TheRiseOfRoy: No, then it would be too obvious that it's an iphoney. I'm going for realism here. Let's see I'll also need a couple of LED's inside and a acetate insert with the iphone home screen on it so I can press the home button and have it light up. But wait then I'll need to add some kind of light sensor so it goes dark automatically as I raise the phone to my face. Maybe I can add a small motor and control it with the volume keys. The acetate sheet can be doubled and attached so it forms a loops. Then as I 'swipe' my finger across the screen the motor can turn the sheet to the next 'screen'. Yes, good...good. I'll start working on the blueprints tonight..

    @MacJedi: Yeah. Two years from now, someone equally as stupid, is going to smash up his Pre, for some other new and improved phone comes out . . . and then post pics of it on the internet.


    And like a blind lapdog in heat, Gizmodo will be all over that "story" too.


    Goodness man, will the cycle of violence and stupidity ever end?!

    @lecti: No aggression. It's a joke. Link is in my profile.


    @jriga: False. I do own an iPhone. Apps and internet surfing are great; typing, calling, and battery life sucks. I just haven't found a new phone on ATT that I really want, the day that happens is the day my iPhone is gone. And I do want to throw it against the wall almost every day when I drop calls or have no service where I should or have to reboot with apps crashing. Good try though.

    @switchblade saints: every reviewer out there has said the iphones screen doesnt match up to the pres screen, The pre's screen really is crisp as a crispy muffin, blu-ray rips look extremely clean on it. The lighter spots on the screen have only been reported by 3 people

    @ivealwaysgotmail10: LOL - 3 screens out of 200 phones sold on launch day. LOL - Pre is a joke. I'm glad to see this guy leave the iPhone world. Apple got his money. My stock went up. He broke his iPhone. Good day for democracy, if you ask me.


    LOL @ Pre. Used at BestBuy - total joke if anyone thinks this is iPhone competition.

    LOL @ iPhone. Used for the past few months - total joke if anyone thinks this is better than the Pre.


    But seriously now. Imo the only thing the current gen iPhone truly has over the pre is Hardware materials(not design cuz the pre feels better imo). Everything else, either the pre wins, ties, or will be easily remedied with time.


    And the pre isn't just about the phone. Imagine that webOS is going to be available on more than just ONE device =O

    this is not a religion, my handheld devices are not reviewed based on the faith i have in future updates but the features they currently sport.

    @tetracycloide:


    So I guess you don't have an iPhone either huh? Or are you instead saying that you review your phones based completely and solely on the positives whilst turning a blind eye (or fooling yourself into embracing as something wonderful) the negatives that take the company which created the device about 2 years to correct?


    Considering the fanatical following it receives, it would seem that the iPhone is even more like a religion than the Pre would be.

    @null0byte: no, as a matter of fact i don't have an iPhone either. waited for 3g, was displeased with the camera so i continued waiting, and now i just might pick up a 3.0 version based on the features it has, not will have.
