From my experiences over the weekend, the iPhone has several issues: 1. While Roaming it does not latch on to a network as easily as other phones - the phone needs to be turned off and on twice or thrice to get a network. 2. You also cannot seem to select networks manually - it could be my ignorance as I have not used this on roaming before, but I cannot find an option to choose network anywhere. 3. EVEN after it latches onto a network, the whole process in (1) needs to be repeated again if your phone runs out of battery and is off-net for a while. 4. You can short-circuit the process of turning the phone on and off by inserting a SIM from the visited network. For instance, I borrowed a Vodafone SIM from a friend in Bangalore and it authenticated immediately, after which I only had to insert my SIM again for it to roam. I dearly miss my HTC and Blackberrys, but I have to keep at this. My son, on the other hand, is very happy with the iPhone as he was having a lot of fun with it. | |

No video calling No AD2P on the Bluetooth Can't share ANY (mp3, images,videos....) files via bluetooth 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) No copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.... say.... email & send it....have to type it out yourself) No 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera,(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i've ever seen..... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera) No video recording with camera, No front camera, No flash. No JAVA support No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a dealbreaker...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) No 3G network yet in India..so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services ... so, for India, iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version 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) No haptic feedback. Cannot send MMS. 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!!!) No FM radio, Can't use your mp3 files as ringtones,(This is heights man!!!) Cannot insert any other SIM card Completely tied to iTunes... Connect to your friend's iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone. list goes on & on & on We Indians are used to these features. Most of our phones already have these features. & we cannot do with out them.... i mean can you imagine paying so much for a phone with which you cannot transfer files via bluetooth. what age is this ...STONE AGE???

| BHPian  | excellent  I was trying to say this many months back on this very forum and people were saying "nah the iphone rocks"Most of the iphone gaps mentioned above are features on good camera phones as well as good business phones. The iphone is good for someone who has never used a good camera or business phone and is migrating from a dumb low end nokia phone with a torch in it, even for those people they will complain of iphone's lack of ruggedness I am not against a good product, but something which is overhyped, overpriced, closed and proprietry and to add to it crazy expensive, no way!! I am ready to pay 30k for a good phone (have paid 45k once), but not for the current iphone. Infact I gifted a gen1 iphone to my house-mate, but for me, I will wait and see if it passes our corporate phone policy and will be provided as our corporate phone in a modified or improved incarnation. No way apple is getting anything out of my pocket, not for an iphone, not for an ipod. Last edited by jassi : 18th August 2008 at 15:08. |
