iPhone Objections So Far
The iPhone isn’t perfect, acc. to the reviews. Here are the objections so far:
1. Fragility of the device, compared with equivalent mobile handsets. The glass case may break if you drop it.
2. Battery Life. Apple says, the iPhone will have 8 hours of battery life. The battery is not removable, hence the option of carrying an extra battery doesn’t exist.
3. The User interface, particularly the touchscreen keyboard innovation. The positive in its favor is a spell checker and auto-correct function that anticipates what you want to say.
4. The speed of Internet access on AT&T’s relatively slow EDGE network.
Despite these obstacles, we will find out shortly, how the hype carries the product.
Biggest bummer is you cant search thru contacts/phone book. I wonder if they intend to keep it that way (a new user experience — no search just browse!) or its going to be among the first software upgrades.
Windows CE phones are not that hyped but are clearly better and more ‘forward’ thinking compared to other phones; and there will be cheaper versions such as HTC made ones; and welcomes third party apps!
