Is one of the most comprehensive guides, but there are many others.

When I played with it, I thought it was sweet. But I didn't once think it was worth the money. 600 dollars for a device with less storage than an ipod (non-expandable to boot), an interface that requires your full attention and allows for no shortcuts bewteen programs (not to mention no cut and paste), a keyboard I can't touch type on (what do I touch?), and no video camera!

Queue the fanbois who say one of the following:
"Video camera isn't really important to me"
"But, its so beautiful!"
"The keyboard reads your mind!"
"So elegant, buttons are a thing of the past."
"Who needs an SDK anyway?"

John, thanks for posting that great guide! I am sure it will help people get what they deserve out of their phone. Ill be passing this along to the iPhone owners at work.

So I read your post and though wow, the segway;

When I rode it, I thought it was sweet. But I didn't once think it was worth the money. 5000 dollars for a device with less mileage than an car (non-expandable), an interface that requires your full attention .

Queue the fanbois who say one of the following:
"a seat isn't really important to me"
"But, its so beautiful!"
"The segway reads your mind!"
"So elegant, cars are a thing of the past."
"Who needs to tweak there software anyway?

Nuff said

Don't troll me, son. You know you did think it was worth the money, and worth losing weight for. The interface doesn't require hardly any attention at all either. See "disappearing segway" thread.

I know why I bought the Segway AND why I bought the iPhone, I am just saying to you. that the fanboy comment can go either way.

What you think of my New avatar?

Could I get a Segway button for my iPhone too? I wonder what it does...

[BillPaxton]

How much is it really? I am T-mobile & Cingular (personal/work). I need messaging similar to blackberry, calendar, contacts, and would love to not carry two phones and an iPod video...also will it dock in an iStation and plug into my car wia standard headphone connector? Also heard the data service is expensive. What are the facts?
