Heard about all the idiots camping outside apple stores for the launch of the Iphone at 2 minutes past some ungodly hour.

From what they were saying the Iphone sounds simply like an ipod that can make a call.

1. It doesn't do MMS picture messages. (I MEAN NO MMS WTF)
2. You can't use a downloaded song as a ringtone as apple have got copyright infringements all over it.
3. You have to sign up to Itunes, I HATE Itunes! 1984 george orwell on your phone!
4. The battery needs replacing after 300 charges! (key103 actually said this)
5. Not flash or java on a do it all phone :redface:
6. No keyboard, texting nightmare, my thumb would press four keys at once.
7. Safari browser OH NO
8. No flash or zoom on the camera :o
9. No games
10. No voicedialing
11. add your issue here...




SO I ask you this, since it doesn’t do any BASIC phone feature, why would you ever buy one?

Surely for a feature rich phone with MP3 you would simply buy a SonyEric?

It really is an iPod you can make a call with - nothing else?!

I agree with everything that you said in that post, and I actually didnt know that it was as crippled as all that..

The thing that makes me smile, is that (and I do it as well!) we expect all of those things as a basic phone - when the actual basic function of a phone is to make phonecalls! :lol:

But I agree.. The lack of features in what is supposed to be the next big thing in phones is amazing..

Brother was talking to me the other day about getting an iPhone and i warned him of buying one, but didn't really have any facts to back up my opinion.

So thanks for the above Coiler, + Reputation ;)

(Would of added to your rep, but it won't let me. Apparently too much love has been spread to you).

13. no Removable battery

So after 300 charges you have to throw it away!
Just like the old ipods. Cheaper to buy a new one!

No thanks!!!

So im going to spend a fortune on a phone that doesnt do what my old 3 year old phone does, or my current one.

3mp sony ericsson vs 2mp iphone, and which one has a real flash too?

Were regressing in technology, 3 year old tech for a current tech price..

Iphone are just a stupid thing anyway, the only people who would spent £280 or somthing like that on it are Apple Bum Fans.

I was watching the news while in bed all yesterday because of my stupid cold and because there on contract with O2 each year there having to pay over £1,000 for it which is just stupid. Id rather just buy a new pc.

what u do is send it back to apple pay £something like £60+ for a new battery and they just send u a different refurbished phone, so any data u had on the phone still is now lost
