My point is, everyone has different needs. Till the iphone gets a better Camera, it doesn't come close to meeting mine, so for my needs, the iphone sucks. Besides, I'm not going to pay out the asshole to get some retarded Data plan like iphone users have to get to even use half that shit.
And wtf is up with all the simple features found in basic phones these days, not being put on the iphone?
Things they need to improve on:
The battery. How do they get away with releasing a phone that you can't swap the battery on? With 3G, you're pushing it to make it through one day, and if you forget to charge it that night, you're fucked. So you want to swap to your backup battery.... wait. You can't.
Can't hook the phone up to my laptop to use it as my 3G modem, and save ass tons of money instead of having to have a seperate 3G modem. The AT&T Tilt does this as well as other phones, why not the iphone? That's like $800 a year they could be saving me.
No cut and paste? Seriously? wow...
They claim this thing is part ipod, yet it has no stereo bluetooth option. The tech has been around a long time, why hasn't apple caught up?
Still no flash player? Why is this? No voice dialing? No mobile TV? No microSD card slot?
All in all the iphone is a great little machine other than its shitty camera, and I'd get one as i've said if they had a decent camera and video capturing option, but there is a lot of room to grow from what apple has now. Maybe the iphone 4G will improve on many of these requests. It would be nice. Either way though, it's a good phone and a good start in a fun direction. They took the LG Prada touch screen phone and made it fun and simple for the American masses. I can't wait to see what the future holds for other prada clones like the iphone, or for smart phones in general.
