The official iPhone thread

[iMav]

y blame me whn new members start their posts with comments like these ...

OMG..what a ridiculous thread.... (so ridiculous that I actually registered to post a reply)

LOL..just notice you updated your sig too...so I too am an apple salesman now

hey im not saying its u ... ur assuming thats its intended towards u

 

[superczar]

hahaha...this thread is actually fun...
so let me try to make a fresh start here...

Edit: Mighty iMav, I accept defeat and take my question back...the iphone truly sux

 

[aryayush]

Reason number 1: It has an Apple logo.
2. No cut-paste.
3. No MMS.
4. No video recording.
5. Did I mention the Apple logo?

I hope you don't give into the temptation of replying to these guys' mess again.

Obviously, you weren't quite so resistant.

 

[superczar]

Hahaha...true..it's just that I am having a rather slow day at work and what better way to pass time than this...though on second thoughts, I take that question back else this would perhaps just drag on forever...
sorry iMav, i hope you hadn't started typing out a response already

 

[iMav]

1. AT&T locked (even though it has been cracked, gizmodo readers have reported that taking an unlocked fone to an apple store for servicing resulted in his fne being black listed and denial of serivce)

2. No A2DP support (agian apple made sure that only apple certified bluetooth headsets work & also that no file sharing over blutooth takes place)

3. No Video Rec (now this sux big time)

4. Paid ringtones

5. No easy access for battery replacement; No MMS

6. iPod features cant be used unless activated with an AT&T account ...

7. And my favorite os x draw back no cut paste

 

[superczar]

here is my crib list...

no clipboard
no video recording
crippled bluetooth

IMHO, these shortcomings are more than offset by the amazing responsiveness of the system the brilliant browser & media player and the overall user experience (e.g. the thoughtful touches like the proximity sensor)

but then that's just me...

 

[iMav]

damn u just sucked all the fun out of the thread by accepting to the flaws

 

[aryayush]

Are you really as stupid as your posts suggest?

Who, in this entire thread, has ever claimed that the iPhone does not lack the features it does? Tho whole point is that despite the fact that it does lack a few features, it is an awesome phone. The user interface is so brilliant and the features it does have are so perfectly implemented that it puts the phone head and shoulders about the competition when it comes to usability.

 

[iMav]

blah blah blah blah blah arya bhai ab aaya oonth pahad k niche ....

just look at the UI its so cool

 

[goobimama]

Who went kiske niche?

 

[iMav]

aao bhai sirf aap ki kami thi yahan

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

IMAO basic features like video recording and bluetooth support(full not crippled) should have been there in the iPhone considering the high prices tags it has.Of course the processor is great and so is the UI but come on even 3k-4k phones have these features nowadays.

 

[superczar]

hahahaha..this thread is hilarious..it just keeps running in circles

 

[goobimama]

Heheheh! This really is a funny thread...

 

[iMav]

and u all jus want all such threads closed ...

 

[aryayush]

hahahaha..this thread is hilarious..it just keeps running in circles

Exactly. That's the only thing that happens around here.

@goobimama
The phrase "ab aaya oont pahaad ke neeche" means that the person in question has finally accepted the truth/been humbled. oont = camel; pahaad = mountain.

I missed out lots of things due to sleeping & resting at home. Lucknow is cold again.

and as per my knowledge java,flash and video capturing etc drawbacks will be fixed by its next software release.. just pray to god so that jobs wont ask us to pay for the software upgrade..

As for the statements of Jobs, JAVA Is not coming at all.

Flash "might" come for safari.

but trust me when i say this, the hw capabilities of its proccy/memory and OS capabillties are far beyond what any other phone in the market can achieve today
(efficient coding + a 600mhz proccy + 256 MB RAM goes far far beyond what a 200 mhz+- 10% proccy with 64 MB RAM (on a touch and its ilk)can achieve on any OS)

Doesn't that proves that HTC Touch needs less horsepower to do more work then iPhone, making Touch a better & efficient hardware? What good is 600 MHz CPU if it lacks support for basic things. Tell me this first.

Tho whole point is that despite the fact that it does lack a few features, it is an awesome phone.

How?

This just in..

Altered iPhones at Risk of Failure

Apple warned on Monday that iPhone owners who have used unauthorized programs to unlock the cellular service feature of their handsets may end up with a phone that does not work after the company’s next software update.

Since the iPhone made its debut in June, hackers have posted a number of methods online to make it possible to use iPhones on cellular networks other than that of AT&T, the exclusive official carrier.

Apple executives say they have discovered that many of those unauthorized unlocking programs damage iPhone software. A software update that Apple plans to issue later this week that will add features such as accessibility to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store may end up making the cellphone completely inoperable if it has been altered.

“This has nothing to do with proactively disabling a phone that is unlocked or hacked,” Philip W. Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president for worldwide product marketing, said in an interview. “It’s unfortunate that some of these programs have caused damage to the iPhone software, but Apple cannot be responsible” for those consequences.
