Why does the iphone suck?
posted by IphoneSpeedTest in QuestionsHere are some of my reasons:
1. No cut and paste.
2. Apple steals 30% of developers revenue.
3. Applications can’t interact with music library
4. No over the air updates
5. Jailbreak your iphone and you could face time in jail.
6. Everything is locked until you activate it. Not to mention, activation has taken days for some.
7. There is no moving the phone to another gsm provider unless you hack the phone, which is not an ethical thing to do.
8. There are many alternatives that’ll do more or the same.
9. No actual qwerty keyboard. And no, that “emulated” onscreen keyboard is not an actual, physical, qwerty keyboard.
10. Can’t send MMS picture messages.
11. Can’t record videos.
12. No songs as ring tones.
13. No gps.
14. It does not work under 64bit windows.
15. Heat issues: the iPhone can get very hot when it is in use.
16. Contrary to popular belief, you dont actually own the phone.
17. 3g speeds on the Iphone are mediocre at best.
18. requires itunes to sync with a pc.
19. It doesn’t have a file browser/organizer.
20. You can not save documents on it: documents can only be viewed as attachments when they’re sent to your e-mail address.
21. No voice recording.
22. No voice dialing.
23. No instant messaging.
















You forgot one, its on At&t’s network. At least that would be my reason not to get one. And the fact it is a status symbol and nothing more than a toy.
