So I have had my iPhone for about 6 months now and its been long enough to determine that it's a piece of shit. Don't get me wrong it's a great phone for my Dad, Trendsters, Macophilians or anyone who is a danger to themselves with technology. Once the Sexiness wore off I was left with the sobering fact that this is just a crappy phone with internet access.
And here is why [in random order]:
And here is why [in random order]:
- No control over data: The phone doesn't support a file system.
- Bluetooth: The only thing I can use the Bluetooth for is cyborging [weak]
- Lack of FM Radio: I had a FM Radio phone back in 2002. 0 free cardinals games could be the biggest complaint for me.
- Unsupported Multitasking: So your streaming Pandora over 3g at work thinking this is the best ish ever, then a text comes in so you read it, only to find out that Pandora closes once its not the active app. EPIC FAIL
- Idiotic Text grouping and display:
- 1st impression Oh wow the iPhone groups my text's by conversation thats fresh....
- lasting impression Who sent text's first John or Jane?... what time did that last text come in at?... Who was copied on this text?... how the hell do i reply a specific text in a thread?....
- No control over Desktop: I want to put apps icons where I want to put apps icons.
- Lack of Mass storage mode: My phone has X amount of free storage why cant I fill it with data from my computer?...
- No MP3 ringtone support: I just uploaded some Fly tracks into the iPod portion of the phone I cant wait to rock the funky beats when my homies call.... STILL WAITING!!!!
- Barriers to entry: Apple has taken the Christianity approach to moving data. Just as the only way to the Father is through the Son.. The only way to the pod/phone is through the tunes... iTunes is the worst resource hog since AOL... Seriously crashintosh is this the best you got?...
- No Audio Profiles: I transition from work to home to outside to bed... in order for my phone to transition i have to locate where my settings icon is and adjust the volume and ring style to fit me needs.. hate to be stuck on my Sony Ericson but they have been doing that for the past 5yrs at least.
- Why cant I Tether 3G to my lapper?: I paid my bill let me do with it what i want!
- What happend to the Whole Web??: Remember the commercial where Apple showed off a web page being rendered into what appeared to be a standard browser and the voice slams crackberries by saying you get the entire web not just text? one word FLASH. Not that I'm a fan i'm just saying...
- Printer support: I have wasted 30mins trying to set up or somehow find a work around to print a pdf on a networked printer. [and maintain my warranty]
- Dropped calls: I almost forgot the most important reason to carry a phone... communication. I have dropped more phone calls on this rotten apple than i did on the Motorola V60
I am sure this list will do nothing but grow as i continue to find fault in this shitty ass phone. Do yourself a favor and wait on the Nexus One to come down on price and cop one of those bad boys. My coworker got one and I am soo jelly.
