Does the iPhone have a vibrate function?

Thorin · May 15, 2007

I don't recall seeing this discussed, but I was wondering if the iPhone has a vibrating ring function. It seems like a necessity to me.

Well, when it is released, you and everyone else who is wondering will know.... just not before it is released.

It would be pretty stupid not to include a vibrating function on a phone. I mean, when was the last time you saw a phone that didn't have that particular feature?

DB is right, we will soon know. I agree with Kash, it would be stupid not to include that as every cell phone I have used or owned had it. Comes in handy also.

Wow, I guess you guys think I'm not very bright. Perhaps it is an obvious assumption. Then again, so was including a floppy drive on computers, until Apple stopped.

Apple only said it's a "Ring/Silent" switch :Oops:

Not at all. In fact I was wondering myself if it had a Vibrate mode as I am in places a lot of times I can not have it ring but Vibrate is fine. No Thorin, it was a good question, but hopefully well will know the answer after the iphone is released!!

I really can't imagine they'd leave that function out. It's like saying "Hey! it's our 1st phone, we don't really know what we're doing."

Homer Simpson got away with that when he was captain of a submarine.

Yes, but he did nearly start a global nuclear war.

I hope that it does have a vibrate function as I am only allowed to have my phone on Silent or Vibrate at work.

no, not at all. some people just come across a little harsh. you know MacHeads...;D

I was wondering this myself and glad you asked.

It's not a dumb question at all and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it doesn't. To me, having the first full web browser on a phone, it seems like common sense to include the fastest possible connectivity: 3G. But I guess common sense isn't so common, even for a pseudo-god like Steve Jobs.

(yes, I know, it's just built-in obsolescence for the next gen iPhone. Let the suckers buy them first!)

The Nokia N90 (only a couple of years old now) didn't have a vibrate function. I never had one, but a friend did. He also had a lot of missed calls ...

I can't imagine it not having a vibrate function. If it doesn't, it will be a definite killer for me.
