rotor posted:no. we get that, there's just this thing where no one remembers how dicey the first iPhone was and we're reminding them and some of us do remember how dicey it was. but we were arguing about it changing the market for smartphones, which fismeching aside, it did. it's like the internet memory hole has erased winmo and early symbian. everybody goes lol android, apparently forgetting that even android was an improvement over what was on the market up to 2007

palm and winmo both had completely useless web browsers. just garbage. it didn't matter that you had 3g because the browser itself was so slow and broken and hard to use. they were really great PDAs though. early iphone was the opposite. unprecedentedly great web experience. totally useless as a pda.

ah yes the great web experience of EDGE with crappy reception on a tiny screen when there were 0 websites adapted to it, and this was also supposed to replace all apps. truly the iphone was web browsing's ambrosia.

I had the first version of the iPhone and it suited my needs pretty fuckin hard. every iPhone since has been superior so my only complaint would be that I didn't know my needs could be suited so hard

maybe i just had strange friends but the original iphone coming loaded with google maps seemed to be the killer feature everyone i know who had one made use of the most. or maybe that's just what I saw them using the most because they would use it when we were wandering around and trying to find a place in the city.
