    Watching this in 2020 is pretty remarcable. I remember wanting the Flipout back in the day.
    Btw this is the first time ever I saw a fedex ad in youtube. Incredible.

  • @BrassZeppelin
    @BrassZeppelin Před 12 lety

    wait WHAT? NOT BREAK EASILY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH (Which uses the SAME EXACT glass as the iphone 4) I dropped it on my kitchen floor from about 2-3 feet, which really isn't that far, and now the screen is completely cracked to the point where if I drop it one more time, it will probably shatter. and there will no longer be any glass on it. Did I also mention that because of that drop, the home button no longer works right? I now have to press it multiple times for it to work

  • @TheAventadorSV
    @TheAventadorSV Před 11 lety

    Exactly, i used to own an iPhone and then got an imac and the itunes integration between the two at first was pretty nice and then itunes started to get annoying, it was constantly copying songs when my phone was syncing and removing the artwork and then i found the nexus 4 which has the pure andriod experience and costs 300 unlocked and i fell in love with it instantly

    Sony Ericsson Vivaz was cool and not to forget its awesome camera. Yes it came with a resistive touch screen but that was the only gripe one could have with it.

    I happen to have the Samsung SGH-a107. Sure it may not have Bluetooth, but I don't use Bluetooth a lot so it's not a big deal to me. I don't mind that it doesn't have an external display. Besides, this was my first phone, and I find that it is a decent starter phone for people who have never had a phone before. I do, however, agree that the name sucks. I have no idea where they came up with the name for this. Maybe it should've been called the Samsung Basic Flip or something like that.

    There are only two little slabs of glass on the back. Why would you even have to get it fixed? iPhone 5's were made to be put in cases. They feel better in a bulky Otterbox case, than they do without any case. Apple made it TOO small. I love mine, other than that.

    I had to send my iphone 4 back to apple in 2011 becuase it was overheating all the time and i used the Samsung SGH-a107 and it wasnt that bad. Yes it was alwful compared to the iPhone but I still could call and text on it for the week i was without my phone. Plus it was only $7 at walmart.

  • @assassin26764
    @assassin26764 Před 12 lety

    Remember the original mac? Remember how before that there wasn't a home desktop computer anyone could use instantly. Remember how all the smartphones sucked but the iPhone was released and made the ideas easy and intuitive to use. Remember how when the iPad came out, there wasn't really a tablet market but now its huge? Apples sales are lower because their prices are higher, but that does not mean they didn't revolutionize media. (they also revolutionized music players with the iPod.

  • @LionheartCloud

  • @LionheartCloud
    @LionheartCloud Před 12 lety

    Everything breaks but the iphone is ridiculously breakable. There is a fine line between durability and hardness and the glass on the iphone doesn't really excel at them which explains why apple service centres have the most number of phones being broken every year.

    Really cause I got an iPhone 3 and I have chucked that thing across the room and there's not even a scratch on it. And no I don't have a case on it. I can't believe an iPhone 4 is that much more breakable.
