Judging by the random.org URL that your link points to, the odds of winning the iPhone were 1 in 86. That's not as bad as I thought...

Congrats to the winner. I guess I'll be paying for my own iPhone on Fri.

Congrats! I'd say app reviews and product reviews would be good. Keep the jailbreaking info coming in case there are good apps worth jailbreaking for: such as VoIP over cellular network or turn-by-turn GPS directions or other handy apps that don't play by Apple's rules.

Congrats to iLoveiPhones. I'm extremely jealous, nah I'm happy for them. I'm crossing my fingers and praying to the iPhoneBlog Gods for one last chance to win a $100 iTunes card but if I don't win, well c'est la vie.

Hey guys I hope you plan on covering as many of the new apps as possible. The most important part of this whole iPhone 3G business isn't the phone itself but rather the 2.0 software. And because all of us 1st gen iPhone users and iPod touch owners will be able to use these apps too the product reviews will be very important.

Congrats champ! I'm still holding out for a $100 itunes gift card, pretty please? I promise to use it to buy some apps at the app store and provide a solid writeup for you guys to use. BTW, loving the accuweather iphone web app - you guys should write that one up next. It kills the native weather app - sat feed pictures every 15 mins, hour by hour forecasts graphically depicted, 15 day forecast. Tough to beat, can't wait to get an installed version from the app store.

That lucky iloveiphones! I'd like to see info about less obvious but still useful tools for the new iphone. Things I might not find myself.

By: Dougm

Dougm — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:14:40 +0000

Congrats iLoveiPhones! Enjoy...

As to the future, I'd certainly like to see tips and tricks continue, but I think apps will be where the action is. TiPb should be the primo independent source of apps; news, reviews, etc.

By: Kruze Dunn

Kruze Dunn — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:58:13 +0000

I think some smart phone vs. Smarter phone (iPhone 3G) would be cool. Also is this where I enter for the $100 dollar iTunes Gift Certificate?

I thought I was the one grrrr j/k Congrats iLoveiPhones - enjoy your new iPhone. I'll still be getting mine on Friday. I think one of the best things about this contest is that I got the chance to "meet" so many other iPhone fans. It's been great reading all the posts here. I'll have to continue spending time here - maybe I can win the next model of iPhone hehehe

By: David

David — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:26:34 +0000

I'm, of course, sour that I didn't win. However, congrats iLoveiPhones. In the coming weeks, if possible, try to give out $30 gift cards to the Apple store. Everyone could use some iPhone docks, right?

By: Patrick

Patrick — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:22:05 +0000

i hope that the traffic in the forum doesnt slow down too much now that the contest is over, it keeps me entertained at work. Everyone keep up the great work in teh forum and keep posting about your new Iphones. ALSO we shoudl try and draw attention of softwear developers and get them to start using the forum as a place to test ideas out. A few weeks ago we had somone asking questions about a movie/resturant rating app. WHICH WAS GREAT! i think we shoudl try to draw some mroe attention so that developers can get feedback from real iphone lovers.

I'm never gonna forget this day. Thanks so much to everyone here at the iPhone forum and the staff at the iPhone Blog. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Being someone who's never won anything, this is quite a day!

Once again, Thank you.

Congratulations, it was a fun contest. Let's just hope everyone else who signed up to the site isn't going to drop off now. This site is pretty cool to begin with, my only regret is not signing up sooner and just being a reader of the place. Thanks everyone for all your discussions on the forums.

By: Nick

Nick — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:32:54 +0000

hehe no surprise . . . i think i saw a post of theirs on almost every forum anyway, congrats and i hope you enjoy your free Phone! But i do hope that i can win the iTunes money so i can fill my comming BIRTHDAY PRESNT!!

I agree with WatersWest, PLEASE don't review products because you're trying to sell them or are getting paid by somebody.

By: WatersWest

WatersWest — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:24:33 +0000

Congrats to iLoveiPhones ... of course, with a name like that, it almost seems like the winner was picked by name . . .

As far as future content, I agree with Nathan that reviews would be good. Of course, reviewing things that you DON'T SELL in the Phone Different store would lend credence that you're not just posting the review as a mini-infomercial. Also, it would be helpful if you reviewed several similar products in a category and did a compare/contrast among 5 or 6 and not just a stand-alone review 1 product at time.

By: Mr. Green

Mr. Green — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:22:00 +0000

Congratulations to the appropriately named iLoveiPhones. As for future coverage, I think an occasional smartphone vs smartphone is fun, but at the same time we're showing that we already chose iPhone by coming to this site, and I would love to see some app reviews here. So I guess the answer is some of both. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to iLoveiPhones. Even though I didn't win. You'd better not be kidding us, we'll mob you if you don't send iLoveiPhones the prize

By: Nathan

Nathan — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:02:15 +0000

Congrats to the winner.

As far as future content, the number one thing I want to see is reviews. Cases, Bluetooth headsets, App Store apps, and anything else iPhone related. Doing more reviews may help sales at the Phone Different Store too!
