People Planning 2 Buy iPhone - Please Run Thru This First
Friends ......those of you in India *planning for iPhone.*.. THINK TWICE
BEFORE MAKING A DECISION... The short comings of iPhone are endless...
BEFORE MAKING A DECISION... The short comings of iPhone are endless...
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 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)
No video recording with camera,
No front camera,
No flash.
No JAVA support
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)
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 and
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???
Some features may be activated by jailbreak.. But why the hell should
you risk losing your warranty after paying so much.
And want to add third party softwares??.. YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM FROM
iTUNES STORE ONLY!!! . (Shell out more money). Apple is a bloody control
freak. Don't surrender your freedom to it.
Its good for American market (who have no idea what mobile
freedom/choice is) which is in Stone Age compared to Asian European
markets. When they want to buy a phone, they have to go to network
operators and buy only those phones that are available on that network.
& stick to that company till their contract expires. You want to change
carriers? Not before paying damages, & buying another phone on the other
network again.
On the contrary, we in India have so much freedom. We go to handset
shops & buy which ever phone we like. Then go to carriers.. checkout the
plans & buy SIM.. Don't like the plan or rival carrier came up with a
better plan???? EASY .. just remove & replace the SIM.
Apple are trying to IMPOSE THEIR MODEL ON US riding on the hype iPhone
has created in the US (yes it was a flop in Europe ..That's why Apple
never talks about its sales in Europe).
Don't fall for the subsidized price of iPhone... CHECKOUT THE DATA PLAN
ATTACHED TO ITS SIM ..they will recover the cost through ridiculous data
plans. Bill might come to around Rs 2500/month.(ATLEAST AMERICANS PAY
THAT MUCH)
Let me clear one thing though.. iphone is the best looking phone (its
touch interface is nothing like you have ever seen ), & best browsing
experience out there no doubt .... (& others are fast catching up..check
out the android demo at Google IO 2008).... BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT ALL
COMES DOWN TO FUNCTIONALITY...
Those of who buy it... You will be most happy for atmost a week... &
then, MARK MY WORDS...YOU WILL START REGRETTING IT!!!
My advice...WAIT FOR HTC DREAM (powered by android), NOKIA N96 !! Still
not convinced by then...by all means go for iPhone...
So friends lets spread this info to all our friends and help them in
making a wise decision..... & those of you who have bought unlocked
versions already please share your experiences with others
