Answer 6

For $200, if you have the money, then why not? youll get tired of the touchscreen in a mater of weeks, but its a fun toy to have. It will more then likely end up in a drawer somewhere never being used due to the massive amount of 'cant do's

If you are wanting it as a main smartphone, then you can do much better.

Its a very basic phone compared to other smartphones. It lacks many features of even dumb phones:

the bluetooth profile is mono headset only. no file sharing, no syncing it to a computer or keyboard, no stereo headphones, car stereo

For movies, its mp4 only. no avi, no wmv, no wma for audio

its a touchscreen without haptic feedback. texting on it is exactly like texting on your gps

it doesnt support the most popular smartphone platform-java

it doesnt have voice dialing

You can only install programs that are on itunes.

you cannot drag and drop files, you must resync everything on the phone to add one song

2mp camera with no other features

even yahoo tech picked up on the story about world wide iphone 3g dropped calls because of poor reception (and yahoo tech NEVER picks up popular stories) many users were reporting 33% dropped calls

the majority of iphone owners bought the phone because of the hype. compared to any other smartphone, its very lacking and almost a joke.
