My iPhone Experience

iPhone

Everyone is talking and dreaming about Apple iPhone. I know some Tech savvy and widget lover are using iPhone in Pakistan although iPhone is not launched for Pakistan. They are using the unlocked versions. I am not much of a gadget lover but on Eid holidays, I got a chance to play with my cousin’s Apple iPhone. He is really mad about the latest widgets out there in the market.

My first impression once I held the iPhone in my hand was that it was very light-weight for something that has so many cool features, but when I talked to my cousin about its usability & features. He told me some interesting things infact some worst things about iPhone. Here are the key points:

1. No Group SMS
2. No 3G. You cannot use edge etc on iPhone
3. No extendable Memory Card.
4. No support for disk mode. i.e, cannot save files on your iPhone
5. No bluetooth headphone
6. Speaker volume is terrible
7. Safari, the web browser doesn’t support java, flash and other plugins
8. Can’t synchronize with outlook or powerbook
9. Non-user replaceable battery
10. No video recording

No doubt the resolution and interface are gorgeous but it’s far from perfect. If you are planning to buy iPhone, just think again about the above 10 points

    Thank you guys for pointing out the Edge support in iPhone.

    For other points (5,7 & 10): I have covered the default behaviors without installing any app or hack.

    No offense but seriously only a fool would dare give away 38k Rupees to buy an iPhone in Pakistan when its actual cost price is 24k world wide.

    You have nice list up there that tells the demerits of the iPhone but I do not agree with your point 2, 7 and 10

    2. iPhone supports Edge out of the box
    7. Safari supports Flash and Java (YouTube is all Flash and Google’s new iPhone homepage is built all in ajax which is javascript)

    10. There is a hack available to record video on the apple iPhone (http://www.sizlopedia.com/2007/12/17/record-video-on-the-apple-iphone/)

    iphone supports not only edge but it also supports bluetooth and the safari browser supports java as well as flash , you have to properly update it and it will work like a gem .

    I’m pretty sure it supports EDGE (EDGE is 2.5G, not 3G). There is also a bluetooth headset for it. I think you can use it as a drive, but it might take a little work to set that up.

    It runs Unix!
