Asrar Khan, 22 Aug 2008BEWARE OF BUYING iPhone 3G!!!
Friends.....those of you in India planning for iPhone...
THINK... moreIn response to your nonsense
1. No video calling
Not a very popular feature. So who cares? Don't buy the iphone then =)
2. No AD2P on the Bluetooth
Good, this would keep my cheap/lazy friends from asking me to transfers files that I bought/downloaded =)
3. CAN’T share ANY (mp3, images, videos....) files via Bluetooth,
I can share files. I can email it. That means, I don't have to stand right next to them just so I can send them a file =)
4. Can't use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your
phone, but cannot connect it to your
PC and browse when you are at home)
Have you heard of USB cable? Gosh, some people =)
5. No copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.... say.... email & send it....have to type it out yourself)
You are wrong. You can forward an email. If you only want to send a portion of it, just delete the unwanted lines. But why would I want to do that? Unless of course you want to hide something =)
6. No 3.2 or 5 mega pixel camera ,(the 2MP camera it carries is
worst camera i've ever seen..... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)
You are wrong again. The iphone takes good pictures. But who cares? I never compromise with pictures by using camera phones. I use my standalone camera anyway.
7. No video recording with camera
Again, who cares? I'd rather use my standalone camera. Unless of course you can't afford to buy a good quality camera, then I guess you do need an all around phone, lol. You won't get great pictures or videos though. Just mediocre ones =)
8. No front camera
Does not make a lot of sense to use this. I know phone that has this feature yet the owners never uses it. What a waste.
9. No flash
No need. I don't use phones to take pictures.
10. No JAVA support
Yet it's still has the best web browser.
11. No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a deal breaker...touch keyboard as
good as it looks...once you use it then only you come to know about the
importance of having a hard keypad)
Look up what FULL touch phone means =) The iphone is a full touchscreen phone, it wouldn't be if it has a hard keyboard =)
12. No 3G network yet in India So why pay for expensive 3G
phone if you can't use its 3G services so,for India , iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version
Then it's obviously not for India =)
13. No removable battery. (You cannot change
battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!!!!...This is not an
iPod . Its a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days)
Battery is good for 4 or 5 years. By then, it's time to get a new iphone =)
14. No hap tic feedback.
So?
15. Cannot send MMS
But I can sent email, and will not have to pay extra for MMS fees =)
16. Can't use as external storage device (16 GB of utter waste..next time you go to your
friend's house & find some interesting songs, movies , etc...Sorry you cannot connect
your '16 GB' phone and share it!!!! Apple apparently has a solution.. " BUY
MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE "..... Give me a break will you APPLE!!!)
16gb is more than enough for most people. Unless of course you do not have a dvd player and a TV set at home to watch movies =)
17. No FM radio
It has mp3 player and Pandora. What more do I need? =)
18. Can't use your mp3 files as ringtones,(This is heights man!!!)
As long as it rings when I get an incoming call, I'd be happy =)
19. Cannot insert any other SIM card….
It has 16gb of internal memory, I don't need more =)
20. Completely tied to iTunes... Connect to
your friend's iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone ….
That's a good thing. That means I get my files from a reliable source. Why would I connect my iphone to my friend's itunes when I know that it would wipe out my files? Don't be stupid and ignorant =)

Ok i know a lot of people talking here bad for iphone..I hate only iphone, because the data plan is to high 30.00 in USA, and $20.00 unlimited text..But before we was paying 20.00 data and including text..Now apple going smart for them pocket..But if you ask me about iphone 3g, i would say great job, and no one cares about video recording or some stupid mms..That options more using kids, and not adults..Why you want video on your phone ? you will go take video every day ? you will do MMS every day ?? im sure not..I have video camera 8.0mp in my house and whenever i need i take with me..Iphone or iphone 3g, about same, only they add GPS and 3G on last iphone..But i love nore 1st iphones material, i mean this one can be more easy scratches on the back side, and apple must fix some problem which getting allot of iphone 3g users..Problem is, let say we go APP STORE and looking some program, iphone by it self going home screen or freezing some times...Otherwise, great system and phone..

The hype has finally ended. It just came out here in the Philippines and you won't see anyone lining up for this. There were some ocassional glances but most turned away when the saleslady admitted the lack of features, which ironically are already standard in most existing phones, even old ones.
Enlightened customers simply saw no logic in spending a lot just to downgrade to a phone with actually LESS features. In the vernacular, it's "nilalangaw", a reference to flies and how only they seem to be interested in this, along with other forms of rubbish.

This phone came out in the Philippines about 2 days ago and I finally had the chance to try it out. I went over the brochure and the phone itself with the saleslady, trying to convince myself to get it. I mean, I was waiting for v.2 when iphone first came out. But... I just couldn't bring myself to buy it.
I have a 2 yr old w800 and even that could take videos. I sometimes take mms for business purposes and my w800 can do that too. I receive text messages often that need forwarding and my w800 can do that too. Iphone can't???!! WTF?! And, oh yeah, the Music Store isn't available for the Philippines yet. Just in case your wondering.
I post here, not because I want to unnecessarily trash Apple, but as an honest feedback. Get your act together, Apple! Your lagging in minor details called "features". Wake up!
