Cringely's iPhone Gripes
(Credit:
CNET Networks )
Robert X. Cringely writes a technology blog for PBS, which I've read for a long time. In his August 29th posting, What Did You Say?, he discusses his unpleasant experiences as a new iPhone owner/user.
I have no iPhone experience, so I can't judge his opinions. However, Cringely's blog is always thoughtful and, to me, he is a very credible source. Plus, he has an excellent perspective owning two iPhones, a Samsung AT&T phone and having just switched from two other cellphone companies to AT&T.
In a nutshell, he says that the iPhone makes a miserable telephone.
The posting is long but only the first five paragraphs address the iPhone. For more about the iPhone, see CNET coverage.

(3 Comments)1) you can't call out when using an bluetooth. You have to use the phone it self
2) you can't hear music through an bluetooth. You have to use the phone it self
3) you can't make your own ringers without buying them from apple !.
4) you can't save sound files if they are texted to you.unless you e-mail them to something like "hotmail"
These are only an few things. I do have an 3gs. AND I kown that if apple doesn't fix things like that...the next phone I get WILL NOT BE APPLE.
