[Edited] Why Iphone 3G May Disappoint You In Future at Thursday, August 21, 2008

Still remember last Friday, wanted to promote my Samsung G810 for sale to girl classmates in my class. I heard them all said, they all wanted to wait for Iphone 3G release in Malaysia. Also, one of Iphone Maniac, Weizzz, also my friends, he wanted an Iphone so far..

I questioned myself, why so many people choose Iphone 3G? Honestly, I don't really like the Iphone (Sorry weizzz).

Okay.. I believe (especially girls) judge a product by its' look, I admit iphone 3G is a really nice phone, intuitive design. But did you really know what it contain inside? How long will you carry your Iphone with you? with above RM2k for how many years?

Did you know about Smelly Toufu? It doesn't look so nice and it smell totally disgusting, but it taste REALLY good.. I'm NOT kidding, it do really taste good. But for Iphone 3G, even it really nice look, but I bet it will disappoint you in future.

Why?
1. If so many people wanted to buy an Iphone, that make this Apple product no longer special. It true, so far, all the Malaysian think Iphone special because of it expensive price and it very rare with it special designing and looking.

2. Unable to update (or costly to update). Iphone is a intuitive device that enable users to stay up-to-date to their Apple product to fix bugs, more application and etc.. UNLESS APPLE IPHONE RELEASE IPHONE MALAYSIA EDITION, else users hard to get latest update as all the Malaysia Iphone has to be unlocked first so that it useable on all Malaysia Operator. Why update so important? Because NO UPDATE, how to guarantee your Iphone BETTER?

3. integral / non-removable battery. Man.. this is the most disappointing point in all Iphone. With integral battery, how you gonna change your battery? bring to shop? that sure COST much.. and think about it.. with integral battery, how long you can ensure your battery still in good condition? I think a normal phone battery can last about 3-4 Years long..

4. No Java/application to be installed. Iphone doesn't have Java, or allow user to install application like s60 platform do, Iphone soon will be release some games to be purchase, if no crack available, users have to purchase those games, just having your iphone to listen music, web experience? Soon you will get boring to your iphone.

5. Non Flash Support Web Browsing. Users unable to have full web experience like those s60 Flash Lite 3.0 device do.

6. Wimpy 2 Megapixel Camera. I guarantee you sure get boring to this feature soon, 2mp camera.. take wat? no zoom, no flash.. Even worst than my Nokia n81. Trust me, when I purchase my n81, I tell myself 2mp camera already good and acceptable.. soon, I regret with this 2mp camera.. For now.. at least 3.2mp camera needed.. 5mp camera best like those n95 did. Digital Camera? this just an excuse for yourself, did you bring your Digital cam all the time? Mobile phone camera is more convenient and needed so you alway able to "camera on the go".

7. No Video recording. Like those 6AS2 did, Video recording is a main feature for them as they alway "sex abuse" their friends when someone entered their "lair". They will record video using their mobile phones. In Summary, no Video recording, what for your mobile phone use?

8. NO Steoreo Bluetooth, I thought the iPhone was supposed to be part iPod. At least they fixed the recessed headphone jack flaw (and called it a new feature) but the A2DP stereo Bluetooth standard has been around for a while and is missing from the iPhone.

9. No Picture in MMS. Then what MMS for? Even we still use SMS daily, but MMS is a feature that every phone should have, to exchange pictures or anything whenever we need.

10. GPS and Google Earth. In Malaysia, I have tested Google Earth with my Samsung G810, still no routing for this country, just the map, to find your location.. and search for hotspot, still.. Iphone not allow any 3rd party application.. so.. no routing in iphone 3G for Malaysia users.

11. Cracked Touch Screen. There are many cases reported that Iphone 3G touch screen cracked in just 1 light dropped. So.. If you plan to use iphone for many years, can you guarantee that your phone never drop?

12. Annoying User Interface. Iphone famous with unable to copy and edit text,unable to copy or send tel. no (have to memorize). How long can you take this annoying user interface, because it doesn't user friendly at all.. Once you accidentally deleted your whole paragraph of text, or want to transfer a lot of text, you will find your iphone suck, you might just thrown out your iphone.

13. NOT SUPPORT BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER. This is the most trendy part among us... plus.. Iphone is part of ipod, with no bluetooth files transfer support, how we gonna share new music? also.. no files transfer.. really useless la.. even my old Motorola e398 also can do this...

Think well, will your money worth for buying this Apple Iphone. However.. If you really can ignore all these 13 (Edited) reasons, Iphone could be suit for you.. Remember, even Apple promised cheaper and faster iphone 3G, but in Malaysia, Iphone NOT CHEAP AT ALL! In addition, expensive than before!!
