iPhone Fanboys need to calm down. The iPhone is still probably the best thing around. There’s always room for improvements. This is my list of reasons why I don’t have the iPhone on AT&T’s network.
#1: iTunes – I hate DRM. I just want to drag and drop files and keep them as MP3′s.
#2: No Pix – Don’t expect to send and receive Picture Messages (Pix) attached to text messages. You’ll pretty much only be email them around.
#3: No Flash for Web Browser – There’s no Flash in the web browser. This means no online games and less rich content.
#4: No physical Flash – There’s no physical flash for the camera. Pictures in the dark are worthless.
#5: No Video – There’s no video messaging there’s no way to capture video out of the box.
#6: Horrible GPS – Turn by Turn GPS is not allowed. It’s technically capable, Apple just won’t let you.
#7: No Cut and Paste – Still can’t cut and Paste Text
#8: 2MP Camera – This should have been really at least a 3.5 Mega Pixel (MP) camera.
#9: No Voice Dialing – Want to dial completely hands free? Well too bad!
Don’t forget:
# Bluetooth only supporting headsets, not file transfer.
# Not being able to edit the auto-complete dictionary.
# Considering it’s basically an iPod with phone features added, the built-in speakers don’t go very loud.
These are from a similar list I made a while back – http://demp.se/y/2008/08/18/14-things-that-annoy-me-about-the-iphone/
