Not beeing able to replace the battery myself is horrible. Come on APPLE!!! This is a mobile unit, and few of us want to carry a powerstation with us at all times.
This means that if you uses the iPhone a lot during the day (depends on which apps you use though) and are not nearby any poweroutlets, then your iPhone experience are likely to be a bad one.
What was the reason not to put a replaceable battery in iPhone anyway?
Would really like some help before I put down my cold hard cash for one.
Well its nothing more than a wish list which we refer as PROBLEMS with the iPhone.Guys its human mind it keeps demanding and demanding.
But i guess if we dont demand we wont get anything.
Even i figured out one more thing that the iPhone lacks its the BACK button. When ever we move form our mail app to safari we end up being in safari even after our work is done with safari.It should have a stack for recording application launches so that we can return to the previous application whenever we want.
I mean as iPhone runs a Mac OS we can get this functionality it does not need to be freshly implemented.The OS has the capability.Lets urge apple to drive out as much as it can from the OS and from the iPhone.
But i guess apple is hurrying things.Even the 2.0 is not well versed with the requirements.
Its basically the competition that is driving apple for such unsatisfied releases of its firmwares.I still feel apple should take time because if its about fame and pride it will remain with apple despite of the competition because long held technology is what matters than rapidly developed technology.
Having said that, still:
- the lack of copy-paste is a big issue
- the camera is it's weakest link, even when you factor in photo-editing-apps.
- battery life is (understandably) frustrating, especially in combination with long term navigation apps
- it freezes way too much for my taste, even allowing for user generated causes
As a graphic designer I cannot help but admire it's functionality, let alone the esthetic into which it is translated.
Well guys the iPhone does not seem to be for india even after its launch in INDIA.
A phone with so much functionality missing and that too priced at 36K seems that iPhone initially lost their market in india.
And on top of that ..i was hoping that once it comes to india the service providers will launch seperate data plans for only iPhone.Well actually they did but they are charging TOO MUCH for what they are giving.Vodafone is going to charge 50Paise for 10KB.How fair does that sound?I mean with a phone which has been in a revoultion in internet usage on mobiles you give such high rates for usage?Many a times even opening a website takes far more that 100KB.Inthis case the person having the service will be paying more data transfer charges than his mobile bill.
Something must be improved.Hope So.
Sorting/Searching email would be a basic, nice feature.. I agree with all you listed as well.
Being able to set the alarm to an Ipod playlist or at least a song...
However, i cant understand why apple inc. have decided to not include some great features that would make this product a powerhouse in its market.
Most of these problems i list below i have solved via a jailbreak method, but it shouldn't be that way.
#1 - Built-in modem, via usb or wireless or bt. to use the 3g bandwidth with my laptop on the road is fantastic, i would much prefer using email on my laptop then my iphone anyday. the iPhone email app is great for push email and on-the-fly replies to important clients ect.. with jailbreak, you can setup the phone as a proxy though and get around this issue if you have time to kill.
#2 - Camera, its terrible, we can all agree on that, changes need to be made to up the MP or include flash and ANY type of blur reduction tech.
#3 - Custom sms tones - why we cant? no idea....
#4 - On screen sms notification - its hell, and pretty damn embarrassing when you mate is checking out you new iPhone and your ex or girlfriend has a great sms to send you at that time....
#5 - Wallpaper on the springboard - no probs on a jailbreak handset, but the only time you actually get to see you wallpaper is when your unlocking the damn thing.
#6 Sleep Function...... ZzzZzzz - Wouldn't it be great to listen to itunes, or a internet radio app then have it turn off in 30 minutes... nope, too hard for apple.. sorry :(. Again, a feature provided by third parties in jailbreak.
no doubt this features will be added soon, as apple bleeds new firmware to us in due time ^^
Voice Recorder - again, resolved by getting the app in the app store, there is a free voice recorder.
To Do List - This AGAIN is resolved through apps, there is one I believe is called iProcrastinate which helps build to-do lists and reminders. There is also a Birthday program where you can store birthdays and anniversaries. Especially great if you have many business contacts or a huge family.
Also, one issue I haven't seen come back up but it was in the original list was the saving pics from safari, I recently discovered (by accident) that if there is a pic online you simply put your finger on the image and hold for about 3 seconds and then the option to save the image appears. Soemtimes I have to re-position my finger because it doesn't always work the first time, but it does work and I have saved many pics this way.
The newest software update greatly increased my signal strength, reduced the amount of dropped calls I had and even made my battery life better.
I work for at&t and was at work the day the 3G launched, I have seen the errors that can occur first hand and yet, I still bought this phone and aside from a few irratations (and some wish-list items) all in all, I am satisfied and can't imagine using another phone. I had the Blackjack II previously and this phone experience FAR exceeds that of other PDA's, dispite the limits.
I love my iPhone, I hope you all do too. If not, wait a bit and 4G (fourth generation) will be launching before you know it!)
general:
1. no categories 2. off course the copy&paste-issue 3. no file-management 4. short battery life 5. weak bluetooth support 6. weak sync support, esp. for windows-users 7. no audio-downloads possible from audible because of restrictions from apple
calendar:
8. no weekly view 9. no number of the week display (yes, there is a specialized app; but no integration into the calendar) 10. no todo-app, which is integrated into the calendar, like in datebk3 on the Palm.
Safari:
11. regular crashes
iTunes:
12. no download through 3G
But nevertheless: I like my iPhone and i hope that there will be programmers to fix most of this.
@ palash
Dont jump to such a conclusion. In days to come you will see that iPhone will catch the nerve of every technology loving individual.And by the way HTC P3400i is good too.
1) ringer and speaker phone volume is ridiculous.
2) calender alert is unusable, 3 second inaudable notifacation.
3) no data capabilities for other devices (ie: Tomtom or Garmin).
I've gone back to my Motorola v3xx which is a great phone.
Anyone want to buy an iPhone used (new 6/2008) about 3 weeks, in as new condition CHEAP!!
The main screen of Babyphone shows the current status, the microphone sensitivity and the threshold for triggering the alarm.
If the Microphone's display reaches or exceeds the set threshold, the previously defined phone number will be called. After completion of the call and the expiration of the delay Babyphone will reactivate itself again.
In the settings you can enter the number to call. In addition, there is a sleeping interval with an adjustable delay in minutes, after which Babyphone will reactivate itself again.
It is not possible to synch Outlook notes and iPhone notes. I have had to buy the Apigo Notebook, which syncs with ToodleDo notebook on the web and give up using Outlook for note taking altogether. Apple have sown things up so that Mobileme is their only solution. Crazy!
1. USB data cable
2. FM Radio
3. MP3/Video player
4. Storage feature"
Oh really, it is an mp3/video player. It comes with a USB data cable. You can install an app to listen to the radio. You can install an app to use the internal memory as storage. Do some reading people, most of the things in this list are far from being accurate and who really cares about not being able to crop a photo on the phone. Give me a break.
CUSTOMIZATION: People like colors and themes and I want my apps to be in the shapes of hearts instead of squares. I want a flashing light that flashes blue when it is a missed call, red with text, etc. Have specific colors aggigned to text bubbles or incoming contacts. Example: I want Allison green and Erica pink and my boyfriend blue.
RINGTONES: I want to assign a different Ringtone for each person I receive a text from. This way I know who is texting me or even e-mailing me. We can already do this with calling. For example, I want my friend Allison to have her caller ID ringtone be "Thriller," but I want her text message ringtone to be "Beat it." Today, text is the formal way to communicate!
AVATARS or CARTOONS: Be able to edit pics and make them into cartoons like that app on facebook, this way you have more animation popping up rather than boring photos.
WARM/COLD options: Not necessary but would be cool
FONT: Different font and color of text options as well as emocions for text messages/ hearts/faces/clovers, etc.
CAMERA: Double camera lenses, one facing you so you can take self portraits, and one as is
SPEAK TO TEXT: I live in Washington so it is illegal to text and drive (as it should be lol) and there should be a speak to text option for you to spell out loud what you want to say in a text and send it. Also, have a read aloud option so you know what the other person is texting as well
WRITE OUT TEXT: The Samsung Eternity lets you use your nail to write out the letter instead of using the keyboard. Like a chalkboard
MULTITAKER: Be able to drag apps like the Palm Pre
I don't wanna jailbreak my phone but I'm getting there fast! I stopped deleting my msgs as it was too cumbersome sitting there tap tap.. tap tap. Meanwhile life is passing by faster than I can delete these stupid texts. 2017 txts now. The stupidity of it all is maddening! I can't believe in the 3.0 upgrade they only gave you the ability to delete "certain parts" of the text message with-in the message? SERIOUSLY?? Who frikn cares about THAT!! "Oh- I wanna delete just this paragraph inside this text & keep the rest! Yay! dum dee dum" If I stinkn wanted to do that, I'd use the COPY & PASTE & save it in my notes! SHEESH! How hard is it ad "delete all" to the texting! 3 frikn phone releases & this has been in the top 5 requests ever since. It's a slap tease to the face with the useless option they DID include. Still love this stupid thing though.
