Has anyone seen the MicroSoft ZunePhone?

Advert here.

Quality

The ZunePhone comes with a warning "Not suitable for closet homos."

So sadly you'll have to stick to Apples proprietary locked-in hardware.

HTH

Got my iPhone a few days ago by the way, and am very pleased with it.

A word of warning though, make sure the call has actually ended when you tap 'End Call' before calling the recruitment consultant a moron...

Me: <taps end call>... You already have my latest CV, moron!
Him: Er, ok, cheers then.

HAHAHA...an OOPS moment indeed...

Had a play with one yesterday for about 15 mins and was completely underwhelmed. It's too big and heavy for a phone and still too small to browse the web properly. Has some 'clever' features that amuse for about 5 mins.

This will go down with all those iPACs that people bought to double up as phones which they then got rid of because they were too bulky and battery hungry to be of practical use.

Will be popular with the homo/metrosexual community who can carry them around in their manbags and whip them out in Starbucks over a frappucino.

No - you send the phone back to Apple and they will replace it for you in a couple of days

No, you go down to Maplin and get one of these for £18...

They're like illegal immigrants. The media hype says they're everywhere but no ones actually seen one.

Oh no, I have seen millions of those, do they all have iPhones then?

[Pondlife]

Funny, but with all this hype, I have never actually seen anyone with one....

Two guys in the gym yesterday

Young bloke "Have you seen the new iPhone, I reckon everyone will have one"

Older bloke "It's a bit expensive isn't it? You have to pay >£200 for it then tie in to a crap contract for >£300 a year, sin't that a bit expensive for an iPod with a phone?"

Young bloke "Yeah but everyone wants one and it will out sell the iPod I reckon"

Old bloke "it costs alomost as much as a mac!"

Young bloke "Yeah but it's the best phone on the market and the screen tilts"

[TheFaQQer]

And I presume, like the iPod, when the battery runs out you have to throw it away!

My ipod is permanently plugged into my car stereo so battery life isn't an issue, I can see why this may be a bit of a drawback with a mobile phone though.

"And I presume, like the iPod, when the battery runs out you have to throw it away!"

Why would you do that? I had an old creative labs MP3 player which when the battery went completely dead would fail to take any charge in the player. So I jump started it using an old Nokia charger with the end cut off. Simply touch the terminals with the bare wires for a couple of seconds and it puts enough juice in the battery for the player to recognise it again.

MP3 is lossy compression, FLAC isn't - in other words, using FLAC you still have the exact data that is on the CD.

Another Apple "Open Standard" that will be then.
