iphone rant
« on: 09 October 2010, 02:41:23 »
I HATE IT
shit bluetooth shit camera  cant recieve or play mp3's   forward text  messages   recieve picture messages   view flash 
and thats to say nothing of the fact i have sausage fingers and would be as well typing with my forehead  battery life sucks and it drops calls  alot and takes up to 10 mins to sort its self out 
all that i could live with  but then i have to deal with the worst piece of software ever ie: itunes

The sad thing is no other smart phones seem to be any better so i feel kinda stuck

My next phone will have real buttons !!

Mms replaced by email? In theory....

Most smart phones have poor battery life and can be quirky. Which can be infuriating at times, symbian can be overly involved which I like some how. IPhone seems a bit "dumbed down" IMO. Which makes it simple to use, and a bit boring maybe...whats on the iPhone is said to "just work" though. Which model? Latest software?

N900 reviews where excellent, but the phone is, without doubt, shite! Imo wait until at least a couple of firmware updates have been released before buying any nokia.

My one lets you forward texts.  Find your suitable text, use edit button and you then have an option thereafter to delete or forward.

shit bluetooth - define shit, what are you trying to do?
shit camera - Its as good as any other mobile phone camera, like all, they are let down by a tiny lens.

But this photo was taken with my iPhone 3G-S, which has 3mp camera, iPhone 4 has a 5mp, its not that bad!?



cant recieve or play mp3's - Not sure why you would want to do this? mp3's are generally very big, as for playing them, errr its an iPod too mine plays 1000's of mp3's!

forward text  messages  - Yes you can, press on the message, copy, paste into box, press send, not that hard?
 
recieve picture messages  - Yes you can.... 

view flash - This is the biggest issue, its all down to an argument between Adobe & Apple, sadly, they need to resolve this before its going to be allowed.

I'm guessing if you can't forward texts or receive picture messages then it's probably a 2G that you never upgraded past the original operating system?  ::)

Actually Tunnie, thats about as poor a photo I have seen from a phone camera, its barely even in focus and typical of the iShite

I seem to recall there are a few apps to support MP3's plus an alternative store for music (because lets be straight, itunes is a pain in arse)
