can anybody confirm it doesn't have voice dialing? if it doesn't

but I find it hard to believe... why would they leave out such a common feature?
 
I for one don't hate the iphone, but i find it confusing.

No removable battery? no removable media? There are already phones that can do wayyyyyyyyyy more then the iphone can...
 
The iPhone's virtual keyboard has been considered its chief weakness and a risk for Apple.[69] The New York Times' David Pogue and Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, who both tested the iPhone for two weeks, found learning to use it initially difficult, although eventually usable, with Pogue stating use was "frustrating" and "text entry is not the iPhone?s strong suit" but Mossberg considered the keyboard a "nonissue". Both found the typo-correcting feature of the iPhone was the key to using the virtual keyboard successfully.[34][70]
Then don't buy it. Buy another phone with a keyboard.

When the user is not in a Wi-Fi hot spot, the iPhone's network connection will use AT&T's older EDGE network. The data rate for this network is 40kbps, similar to a landline dial-up connection.[71] David Pogue of the New York Times found that the EDGE network was "excruciatingly slow," with the iPhone taking as long as 100 seconds to download the Yahoo! home page for the first time.[34] The EDGE network is being boosted from 40kbps to 80kbps to coincide with project launch.[72]EDGE is fine. 80kbps for viewing webpages on a phone is decent.

The rechargeable battery is non-removable, and once depleted, will need to be replaced by the manufacturer for a fee.[34]The battery lasts about 300 cycles. A cycle is depletion of the battery from 100% - 0%. 300 cycles will last you for about 2 years. Guess what happens after 2 years? Your contract is up and iPhone v2 is out.

iPhone lacks any type of firewall, which some experts claim is posing a data security risk.[73] However, without unsafe applications to firewall, this might be a moot point, if the built in applications do not open unsafe communication ports.Software update-able is need be
iPhone is only available for those who subscribe to a two-year AT&T service plan.[74]

There is no way to opt out of the data plan and thus people who do not want to use the iPhone's Web capability may find the fee superfluous.[75]You mean as a phone?

iPhone cannot install full programs from anyone but Apple. [76]Policy change is possible. A SDK and a HIG can be released but use multitouch/iPhone for 6-12 months then start developing for it.
The Safari browser in iPhone supports neither Adobe Flash nor Java.[69]This is a pretty big issue. It's pretty annoying but Java and Flash ties back to Apple insistence of controlling the platform for now. Again, this is software update-able.
iPhone lacks a number of common handheld features,[77][78][74] including voice dialing, capacity to sync with corporate internal email systems, voice recording, instant messaging, memory card slot, MMS, A2DP (stereo bluetooth), text copy and paste, video recording with the built-in camera, and support for MP3 files as ringtones.Software update-able. Software update-able. Software update-able. Software update-able. Software update-able. Software update-able. Software update-able.

As for MP3s as ringtones, I'll explain it because most people are too dumb to understand this.

Apple made quite a lot of agreements with a lot of record companies in order to sell songs through iTunes for use with iPods.

When you load up your iPhone with ILLEGAL songs, no fucking shit you won't be able to use it as a ringtone: the RECORD COMPANIES PREVENTED THAT.

Even if you have LEGAL songs, RECORD COMPANIES WANTS TO CONTROL how those songs are played. They want money for it. Other companies sell it for $2.50, $3, or $5 for a 30 second ringtone. It's a completely different legal standard, maybe you should bitch to record companies. Yeah?

The iPhone?s virtual keypad won?t work when wearing gloves, which is a concern for wintertime phone calls in cold areas.[79]This is an issue. Sucks, oh well. Don't buy it.
The camera in the iPhone is only 2 megapixels, which is small compared to other smartphones, most notably the Nokia N95, which contains a 5 megapixel camera.Wow. This is just nitpicking. Buy a god damn fucking real digital camera then.
The iPhone cannot be added to an AT&T Business account, and any existing business account discounts cannot be applied to an iPhone AT&T account.Oh... how sad. Bitch to AT&T.
 
I wonder how long until it becomes the iDISASTER

It seems that companies today spend more time and money hyping their products instead of spending time designing them well...

most of the better gadgets out there get little to no hype from their company ... tech savvy people find them and buy them simply because they're good ... rather then hyped
 
yeah the iPhone has outdated technology and poor compatability and expandability, along with a high price point; all those reasons make it terrible.



besides apple is gay
