Iphone

by Nicole Fowler on Nov 12th, 2008 at 9:34 AM:

I have had the Iphone(Edge) since it came out and find it so suprising that all these people sing its praises. I have had 5 major crashes with each software update and the lack of features of the average $100.00 or free phone is crazy.You go through more trouble than its worth to download or sync info. The App Store is a great feature and provides some entertainment but I am dumbfounded over consumers who don't have a problem going to a website in this day and age to retrieve a picture mail.(Who wants to have to write down a password or user id and heaven forbid you don't check it in 7 days. The ringtones(pre-installed) suck and are so childish. How about a video-recording,GPS on the phone, it is 2008 and we did pay $600.00 for this phone but all these great reviews could suck you in. I have talked to more Iphone reps in this short span of owning this phone and have even had to replace the unit before. Thank you for warranties. I can't wait for this contract to end. I refuse to re-do it(opt-out) and give At&T another 24 months of my money.Hears another beauty,if I cancel then I have to pay full price for another phone through At&T as well.Oh Joy! I read every review and I'm like wow do they have another phone than I do because this one sucks(hard)I could go on and on about all the feature it lacks and all the lies that were told to me regarding these features when I asked before purchasing. So enjoy the App Store.

Disappointment with IPOD phone

I am totally surprised with this phone

The first 15 minutes I was frustrated, but couldn't have been more pleased to find excellent phone support by IPhone. They assisted me in connecting my Yahoo email account as well as sync iTunes. The maps feature is phenomenal. It integrates phone contacts, the internet, and directions in an exceptional way. The ability to have weather information at a fingertip in the various cities my children live or where we were planning vacation was a nice addition. Stock data was also easily accessed.


A big disappointment is that I live in a city that depends on AT&T's edge network for internet connectivity. It makes dial-up look like broadband. Once you get over the Edge and access the internet at higher speeds, the IPhone will both amaze and disappoint. It will amaze by the clarity of the print and the ability to zoom in or out. Its capabilities make you want to do more and eventually you will be wishing the Edge was the only limitation. The screen size and the ineffectiveness of the electronic keyboard will continually frustrate. Unless you are familiar with a web page, zooming in on a page will make you feel like you are in the middle of the forest looking for the edges. Zooming out, makes the print too small.

Email is a key capability I wanted to incorporate into my device and for $500 plus I expected it would. Enter the keyboard and email becomes a chore. Apple recognizes this limitation and introduced a unique solution with its electronic keyboard. Unfortunately, when compared to other built in keyboard devices which have limitations as well, Apple opted for unique rather good or better.

As you use the IPhone multiple functions, you will also be disappointed in the products battery life. You will need to plan your day; keep the phone plugged in while at the office (car) or by evening, you'll wonder if you'll be connected.

In the end, I was trying to combine email, telephone, data organization and music. Most important to me is telephone, data organization and email with music trailing. The IPhone is an OK phone, a great music box and an inadequate data organizer or conduit for email.

Silly Phone

The iPhone has got to be the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen in my life. It doesn't even do half of the functions that people said it would. It is ridiculously slow, which apple said would be fast, and it is way too expensive for the amount of stuff it can do. If you haven't bought it, consider yourself smart.

This phone is really fresh. I would say it is better than any phone I have ever seen.
