"Far too many issues"
Pros: Great apprearance, status symbol, maybe
Cons: Call quality, no bluetooth modem, no gps
Summary: This might not be to pleasant for serious proponents of Apple and the iPhone.
While the iPhone has a wonderful design, serious flaws keep this from being what a smartphone is supposed to be. We are talking about a smartphone here, not a regular cellphone to which everyone seems to use as comparisons.
Why is it that anytime the iPhone has a fault, it is said that other cell phones don't have the feature either? That is like comparing a pda to a laptop. Compare the iPhone to other PDA phones and then make the comparisons okay?
For example, almost every pda/phone from Verizon or Sprint has WiFi. Why is this never pointed out? Compared to a Samsung 730 from Verizon, the iPhone is seriously lacking. Not only does the Samsung browse much faster due to it's 3g network, it goes on to do everything the iPhone does and then some.
With a small software hack, you can use the Samsung as a bluetooth model for connecting your laptop to the data network. All the other smart phone pda phones will also do this and when a cable is used, they get the full speed of 3g which now rivals and for Verizon surpasses even most enhanced DSL.
While the interface is nice, no hardware scroll button makes you completely defendant upon the touchscreen. That simply doesn't work. Sometimes you need to write something down with one had while scrolling for information with the other. Impossible to do with the iPhone, sorry. That brings us back to typing messages or email. Again, one handed is impossible so you can't stand in a bus, subway car or anything else and replay to a message or email. It takes two hands.
Apple could have easily designed in a slider keyboard and then, instead of making the primary keys tiny like everyone else, make them larger although many smartphone pda phones are already using larger keys.
The most serious flaw is the lack of application support. When I bought a Palm, or Windows Mobile phone, within minutes I could download and install or load from CD, any number of programs to suit my individual needs. When did a smartphone become the exclusive domain of the manufacturer or phone company? What happened to making something personal. As it is, one iPhone will be exactly like every other iPhone, except for different cases and covers. Those by the way, make stuffing the iPhone into your pocket a hassle. From slim to thick in no time at all.
Now we get to the battery. While I agree that for a regular phone, you usually don't need to swap batteries, anyone using a camera phone knows that taking video or pictures can quickly drain the battery. So does using WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time and turning them on or off all the time isn't the answer. Besides, Apple and AT&T expect you to use WiFi for browsing although that is tough in you are really mobile and sitting in a coffee shop all the time.
Being able to replace a battery on a smartphone is almost a requirement. It will only take you one time with a dead battery to realize just how important that is. If your iPhone goes dead, you can't access the phone book or other information period, even if you have access to another phone.
If the battery goes dead in other smartphones, you can even go to a store and in an emergency swap a battery for a few minutes to access your address book. No dice with the iPhone. Where are you going to go since it must be an AT&T store or apple store and even then, they can't just pop out the battery and let you use one of their tech batteries for a few seconds.
Now I will say that the iPhone is a marvel in appearance. It looks absolutely fabulous. But like many things, beauty is only skin deep. It takes a lot more than a pretty skin to make a great phone. Phones are very personal things and being forced to do as Apple and AT&T says is too much.
If I can't load a simple mapping program and use GPS, what good is a smartphone? being forced to use Google maps isn't my idea of owning the phone, I'm merely renting it.
The market for the iPhone is iPod users who once in a while might make a phone call. It isn't for anyone that is on the go and needs reliable communications and the ability to work the way they want to work. Now you'll have to do as Apple and AT&T dictate.
Sorry but there are too many failing in the first design. I'm sure the next version will address these issues but by that time, the new generation of pda phones will have hit the market and the choices will be many.
If you want a music player first and a casual use cell phone, this is fine and will meet your needs. If you use a mobile phone for work and play and do more than play music, there are far better choices to buy without all the compromises.
I'm hoping for a Google phone.

First off, I think the poster of this does not own an iPhone or they would not have written this article so off base in the first place.
The iphone has WiFi and it rips and roars while on 802.11 B/G networks. What you are confusing here is the difference between EDGE and 3G. The iPhone is technically 2.75G. ATT boasts speeds from 90kbps to 200kbps on their 2.75G network. It's not blazing 3G, but it's not bad either.
I can't believe you would rip on the iPhones amazing touchscreen controls. Most people are sick and tired of programming buttons or dealing with multiple buttons to get where they want to go. Have you actually tried using touchscreen options on windows mobile? They are no where near as friendly.
The keyboard is genius. I can't tell you how tired I am the regular kwerty button keyboard. Every time I look down at it, all I see is a waste of space. The iphone makes better use of that space by having multiple functions associated with the same large screen area. Also, you can type really quickly on it. Have you tried it? Apple's keyboard is so intelligent that as you type, it not only figures out what you might want to say, but it also creates a larger zone around the remaining letters of the corresponding word matches. Tell me that isn't genius.
Application support is coming. Apple just announced the SDK (developer toolkit in Nov. 2007). This will begin to flood the market with new apps. Yes, windows mobile and palm has been around longer and have more apps but the iphone is a better product and will have increasing support. It's still early.
Your battery argument is pretty ridiculous. Who runs to borrow a tester battery from a cell phone store? Why not either plug in to your car or home charger? I always carry a charger with me while I am on the go, but I never have to use it. Haven't you noticed the 6-8 hour talk time on the iphone? Once again, do you even own one?
The iPhone is an amazing smartphone and not just a phone and ipod. You can sync your calendar, contacts, have full html emails (pop, imap, etc), rich html web browsing, sms, chat on AIM (etc), youtube, watch movies, listen to music, trade stocks, show off your photos... it's simply amazing and there isn't anything on the market that can touch it. Windows Mobile has some strong features but the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired and the devices are not all that stable. I have several friends who were tired of the instability and traded them back in due to all the issues. Palm OS is a train wreck. They are unstable and the OS can't multitask. I can't tell you how many times I got a phone call, clicked to check my calendar, and had to either wait 40 seconds or the Treo crashed. Also, the mail experience on Palm and Windows mobile devices as well as web experiences leave a lot to be desired. If you like straight text on a small screen, then maybe the devices are for you. I prefer a larger screen and html based web and emails.
Now, if your argument was against ATT, I would be fine with that. If you argument was about call quality, that could be debated. If you prefer 3G over Edge, I understand that, but all told, I think your review is way off mark.
Finally, a jab to CNET. When I search for top cell phones or smart phones, iPhone doesn't come up even through it has some of the highest ratings. Why is that? -
i dont have time to hack anything and that is exactly why the i phone is great. And you dont have to take C++ to operate it.
Its really weird, it just works. Crazy. -
The iPhone wasn't marketed as a smart phone, and if the battery dies and you're truly mobile, then you're either in your car or close to it. Car chargers are only a couple of bucks on eBay and presto, instant access to your contact list!
-
this guy is entirely right and i think its so funny that apple fanatics are jumping all over him. the basic point of a lot of peoples disappointment over the phone, was that it promised to "revolutionize" any phone that anyone had, and quite frankly it failed at that. it doesnt have gps, available on many phones, it doesnt support flash, it doesnt support any windows files, it doesnt support even support its own 3g network! it didnt "revolutionize" anything. its a phone that doesnt even beat out phones on the market as far as features! if it was to actually revolutionize, it would have included all these features, and added some while giving a new way of accessing and interfacing with it. good phone, but certainly not the end all of cell phones.
-
the iPhone is advertised and marketed as an iPod Phone that is also has internet capability. The fact that it does other things is supposed to be a plus.
A quote from their site:
"Apple announces the best phone, iPod
and Internet communications device.
Notice the words "Smart" or "Smartphone" don't appear. People just see what it does and say "It's a Smart Phone! Why don't they say it". Apple's idea for essential phone functionality comes from a different use model. An iPod use model. Think different, remember.
The only fair comparison according to their stated intent is an iPod. You could call it a "Smart" iPod.
While you cannot buy (yet) programs to enhance use, you and access around 50 and growing (free) Web 2.0 programs that add functionality to the iPhone. Because these programs are Web 2.0, they won't take down or compromise iPhone security. 3rd party software programs are fairly notorious on other hand held multifunction devices for the "take down" punch. I've had my various palm devices go down because of some "productivity" program SO many times... Well, no access to data, contacts or datebook there until I could sync with my computer again.
Besides, you don't really purchase software. You purchase a license to use someone's software (read the fine print).
Using the internet to extend he functionality of a hand held device is a another part of the apple model of personal device use. That's the thing that's most "new" about the iPhone. It's almost alien. Many don't like even the sound of it. Just like they don't like the lack of an actual keyboard that they've become used to. The key phrase, however, is "become used to". I was never good with the qwerty keyboards, I have a foldup keyboard for my Palm device(s).
I can and have used my current phone Motorola E815 as a modem for my Powerbook, but try not to. (...PAIN!!) Many of us want to. Why? Most places where you will want to stop and use your computer for will have hotspots... and you probably already have a wireless networking card, right. (I know I'm not sending graphic files via FTP by dialup....PAIN!!) If you're in an airport and want to access a site to change your flight plans you can do it using your iPod, er iPhone. If you're so remote that you can't get a phone signal, you won't be using a modem anyway.
Oh and the iPhone has stereo bluetooth. USD 100 will buy you a headset.
Regarding the battery, another quote from the apple site:
"... 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of
Internet use, 7 hours of video playback
or 24 hours of audio playback. In
addition, iPhone will feature up to 250
hoursmore than 10 daysof standby time."
That's longer than my phone, but not my mp3 player (it's an iPod). Those claims are, from as near as I can tell, accurate.
Additionally, AT&T was probably the only one of the big 4 that was willing to play ball with Apple. With the influx of customers they will have to fix certain issues with connectivity speed.
All new tech item need a period of adjustment. All new tech items that depend on more than one company for their deployment need a little slack. The companies are not in the game for us, the user. Not one. They all want soldiers and they all want to make money. We all want a product to get our stuff done. Whatever our stuff is. Sometime a little flexibility in our perspective may lead to answers. -
Looking at the I-Phone. For that matter look at Apple and it's products as a whole. They don't make products for the business world, but for the common or creative people.
Since Apple tends to go in ways no one else goes sometimes it's not a seemless trip to begin with. But, from my owning other Apple products, they work to fix and improve their products. Perfect example is my computer. I bought it and 4 months later with a bios update and a minimal fee (for legal issues) It now works with my -n router with graphics/sound etc unmatched by PC's in the same class.
I don't believe Apple will treat the newest edition to the IPOD family any differently. My roommate has had to go into the store to get his laptop fixed (he dropped it) and yes people have problems with the I-Phone, but the Apple store staff are quick to help and trade out the phone for a resolved model. I expect some things to be resolved with BIOS updates and with the USB cable I look for them to come via an I-Tunes update or something similar.
When was the last time your cell phone company just updated your equipment? -
Sorry... I'm just tired of folks who do not own the phone giving negative feedback. This is the problem w/ this type of rating system. I own the phone and it exceeds my requirements and expectations. anyone looking for a "business" class phone should stick w/ blackberry. Its unfair to compare a consumer device to a business device. But when all you people buy and use one, then we'll talk.

Are you crazy? Bashing an Apple product? Apple products are perfect, don't you know that? Expect to be insulted (called idiot, ignorant and Microsoft employee) and have your virility questioned.
-
I'm not sure what is going on with all these attacks against Apple, and the iPhone. I just love this gadget! It is so easy to navigate, play, call, surf. What the heck is everyones issue? This is what a cell phone is supposed to be, user friendly!

I can type with 1 hand on a boat, with a goat, in the rain, on a train, in a tree, let me be. I can type in a box, with a fox, in a house, and with a mouse. I can type here or there with 1 hand I can type anywhere.

people are weird. part of the population focuses on a product to love it, part to hate it. Im not sure which of these two groups is more passionate about their fight. this guy is a perfect example. i have personally owned both the treo 700w and the audiovox xv6700. i used both phones for about a year a piece. in side by side comparison, there is NO comparison. The iPhone is faster, smoother and easier to use. everything this phone does, it does better. the iphone has the ipod mode, the windows mobile has media player, which is a joke. if you have seen any of the iphone commercials and its obvious to anyone. iPhone has safari compared to mobile internet explorer. i have never had a windows mobile phone that could even load a whole web page. and if it did, it would be a disaster to navigate. i know you can use minimo or mobile opera, but in my opinion they all come up sadly short to safari. Even the phone application is superior. My biggest problem with my windows mobile devices was dialing and accessing my contacts. Have you seen the size of the buttons? I could dial with my elbow. The onscreen options during a call were well thought out and easy to use. Even the audio quality was great. The last episode of TWIT, Ryan Block from engadget did the entire episode on the iphone and it sounded great. I will give you, there are features on this phone that should have been included. 3G for example would have been wonderful, but most people dont have access to a 3G network anyway. Also, it would be nice to be able to use the phone as a modem, but you have to realize, this is a brand new product which is almost entirely software based. The possibilities are endless. A lot of people are complaining about things that were left out of this phone that I really dont think anyone really uses anyway. Really, how many people do you think use their video capture abilities of thier current phone. anyway, whatever, as I repeat on these forums and reviews IF YOU ARE GOING TO REVIEW A PRODUCT, OWN THE PRODUCT FIRST!!!

To begin with this message is being typed with one hand. I disagree with some of what you say. I can type using one hand. The keyboard gets some getting use too. But I like it. I do not have an iPod. That is not why I bought the phone. I bought it so I could put all of what I deemed important in one place. I also wanted to get and receive all of my emails and the iPhone does all that. But there is one thing that I feel puts the iphone above all the rest. I can actually read the text. The graphics are incredible.
I am not sure why but most of the I get a better signal than with my v551. In the building I work in I rarely got a signal.w -
I don't have to refute your review point-by-point, because I can do it in a sentence. The iPhone isn't supposed to be a PDA *or* a smartphone! That's WHY it is selling like mad and "changing the way things are done." It is supposed to be a cell phone which is also an iPod. Well, it is not only both of these devices, but the interface to access them both and to use the features of them is radically different from anything previous. Bottom line: the numbers don't lie.
When the automobile was new, it wasn't yet perfect and people negatively compared its advantages with the simplicity and utility of the horse. Today we say it was revolutionary because everyone owns one. When the iPod was developed, people wanted to know who could own so much music to make it worth the cost. We say it was revolutionary because five years later, *tons* of people own them. Why argue whether the iPhone is good, bad, perfect, etc.? You're missing the point: from the initial sales rate (more sold in one weekend than any previous device record over a period of a *month*!), it appears this device is indeed destined to be called "revolutionary." -

No GPS, No Video, No MMS, No 3G, No Apps= WTF!!!
I just bought a new iPhone and am very disappointed. I have a MacBook Pro, which is awesome and a 80 GB iPod. I am a big apple fan and couldnt wait the get my hands on this new piece of awesomeness. Boy was I wrong. I guess all the hype was just hype. I couldnt believe that it didnt even have basic functions that are on free phones.
I am going to try to return it today or eBay it. How can a phone that is suppose to "revolutionize" the market lack so many basic features like GPS, Video recording, MMS, 3G, 3rd party applications (yeah, I heard about the Web 2.0 apps, but what about multitasking and working offline. Besides Web 2.0 works on Windows Mobile too.)
Also, I cant believe you cant work with Office docs (Excel, Word, PPT) or Adobe flash, or PDFs. Or corporate email.
When I heard Apple say that this phone was 5 years ahead of anything out there I thought it must be one hella cool phone. Now, I just think that there must be some sort of nuclear holocaust in the next 3-4 years, so that 5 years from now this over-hyped piece of crap will be cutting edge.

Apple tricks Me into buying their phone, by creating all this hype! Being secretive with it, not allowing the phone to even be reviewed before sale date, doesnt help customers gain trust in apple.
Im not going to complain about waiting in line, and loosing 10% for restocking fee, cause I knew it up frond and willingly took a chance. But as for device itself, Very disappointed! Go apple! Stick with the IPods, that is your area of expertise.
- EDGE? 144kbts data in 2007??? this is a joke right? We going backwards? (2005 had faster data!)
- AT&T not a very good pick for a service provider, coverage and customer service wise.
- No Keyboard - have to concentrate 200% when typing. Can't go by feel, can't text and drive. (sure try using 10 fingers on that keyboard! LOL Steve Jobs himself tripped up during the demo and used an excuse If I can type today and you think he was using the item for the first time? LOL ok&)
- Not compatible with business account?? Lame AT&T, can't even support their current customers.
- Nice Screen - don't touch it while eating! Just dont touch it at all&
- no Stereo Blue Tooth. (going backwards right?)
- Good browser? (they copied the Picsel browser, which was used for at least a year now for windows mobile phones.. works the same, full browser capability, zoom and so on..)
- No removable battery.
- No external Memory. (can't pop out the SD card, put into a random computer to transfer data, and with the internet so slow good luck emailing the data.)
- No Video, not to mention HD video streaming.
- No Video Conferencing
- Can't Send Pictures (MMS)
- No Push mail (forget syncing to exchange servers)
- No Voice Command
- Can't use Skype on Iphone for VOIP
- No Flash
- No Java
- No SDK (web 2.0 is not an SDK)
- No send via Bluetooth
- No 3rd party apps.
(You can't install Tom Tom App on it and take it around the world as a full blown GPS with an additional BlueTooth GPS reciever) -
Perhaps it does not measure up to your expectation as a 'Smart Phone', but Apple never advertised it as such. It's a phone+iPod+internet device and it delivers on those features. So rating it based on how it was advertised seems most sensible. Yes, it's not perfect and I hope they'll offer video capture, voice-activated calling, Flash and AIM support, but overall it's a great device and lives up to what it promised to deliver.
-
Your post is perfect and decribes all that is wrong, but in a un-bias way. I went to the local Apple store and test drove the iPhone and it frustrated the hell out of me, as well as others in the store. The emplyees's are so brainwashed and try to overcome all objections. But, when I tried numerous times to type a text message, it took me 5x more time to finish a simple message than with my PDA. The keyboard is going to kill this device.
-
I appreciate your well thought piece and agree on a number of points. I do think you miss the boat on a number of things, most importantly that this is the first version of this phone and while the hype has been ridiculous it has been destructive too because it made people think the iPhone would just be perfect and everything they always wanted. Nothing can be that, let alone the first iteration of a radical new way of thinking. I don't think you own one or have used one. It truly is remarkable and if you had vision you would see there is a future here. But you use plain falsehoods throughout your review. Almost all PDA/Smartphones have WiFI?? BS dude. I have had Blackberries from Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, a Treo from Spint and NO OF THEM HAVE WiFI. The GPS is new too and not many have that.
-
So... are you trying to get a job writing reviews or something? This section is called "user reviews". Its for users, e.g, a person who actually owns the device. Your long winded, uninformed, speculative rant is a complete waste of everyone's time.
-
TestedBy, I have the useless i730, what a piece of garbage! I have owned smart phones for years, NEVER have I disliked one more than this paperweight. I have no interest in the iPhone unil they catch up with the much discussed missing technologies, but I will trade you my i730 straight up for your iPhone....
-
What more do you want this phone to do? The virtual keyboard is much better because it gives you a much larger screen. Half of your review is totally ridiculous, get a life.
-
All of the iPhone reviews I have read all deal with the same issues, but the facts are there right in front of everyones eyes, so the negatives are a little stretched.
A sliding keyboard would be a ridiculous idea for the iPhone. Not only would it add to the form factor, but it completely voids the point of a touch-screen device in the first place. While the touch-screen is different, and takes some getting used to, it is very useful and I wouldn't go back to a regular phone now that I've used mine for almost 3 days now. If you want a sliding keyboard, get an HTC or Helio Ocean.
Everyones reviews that I have read have also dealt with 3G vs. EDGE. What people are not realizing is that the iPhone was a business deal as much as it is a consumer product. Without a network, the iPhone is useless, and that is where the compromise between Apple and AT&T came into play. No one knows what went on behind closed doors, but the fact is that the iPhone is not 3G, nor was it ever advertised as having it. Until the Big 4 (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile) start manufacturing their own phones, where they have total control over all hardware and network access, we as consumers have to take what they give, and I am perfectly content with EDGE on my iPhone.
Third party apps is another thing people are griping about, but it is actually rather clever the way the iPhone dealt with the issue. Web 2.0 has brought us some dynamic and beautiful websites, and with the rapid development of completely web-based operating systems, it just shows that a web based app can be just as robust and useful as a native one. Since the OS X in the iPhone is still a bit of a mystery, I know I wouldn't want my $600 investment being corrupted by a poorly written third party app. Since apps are web based, there's no threat of hardware corruption or software failure. Quite brilliant if you ask me. -
I have not even touched the phone, never will, and will be happy when all this hype is over.
My girlfreind bought an Ipod and she never uses it!
MS Echange sevrer and windows mobil 6 platforms are by far the way to go for a power PDA Consumer/USER.
So many people buy PDAs when they could do just fine with almost any modern cell phone.
I saw the demos from Apple and had my mind made up long ago.
I am happy the phone finally came out and I was not disappointed by my first impressions.
That being said, I hope Apple and other manufactures move forward and produce at laptop/notpad phone. They have the power. And if one existed and was 2-3k I would buy it. -
(ignorant reviewer who reviews something he doesnt even have) 6. do me a favor and read every review out there by professionals who have a basis for opinion, and every one I have read has been at least above average. I mean look at cnet the biggest mac haters of them all gave it an 8. PC magazine gives it a 4/5 stars very good, and the best review so far is Time magazine in which the author states "The user interface is crammed with smart little touches every moment of user interaction has been quietly stage-managed and orchestrated, with such overwhelming attention to detail that when the history of digital interface design is written, whoever managed this project at Apple will be hailed as a Michelangelo, and the iPhone his or her Sistine Chapel (Steve Jobs can be Pope in this scenario)" I mean come on, what other smart phone has ever been reviewed like that.
-
It's obvious that you don't have one and have not used one (and using the floor model at at&t and apple does not count). If you actually used one for a full day and wrote your review I would have been more involved into your article, but sorry it's obvious your review is biased. Lets be serious, the iphone's web still beats the web on any other pda out there. Hands down!!! No it's not on a 3g network, and AT&T's edge is not the fastest thing out there, but it's web application still is better than anything out there. Let's not forget how waterd down the other web applications are out there. No you can not buy an extra battery for it now, but it's battery last longer than any other pda out there. You also complained about using a simple mapping program, all I can say is Google Maps!!! You also said you need GPS, seriously are you that lost you need to know your exact coordinates. Are you on a ship?
You also said it's not for anyone on the Go, Are you serious? I see why the other reviewer said you work for bill gates. haha, I wouldn't go that far but come on. I know lawyers and brokers and doctors who just purchased them and are loving them more then there black berries and those people can not live without their email. I just bought one after having doubt and it is worth every single penny. Many of your complaints will be fixed. Apple is the only company out there that truly makes products that work. You can not say that about Motorla, Nokia, LS, Samsung, etc. Everyone of those companies has had major issues with one of their products, remember the first generation of the "razor". Problematic.
What's Crazy is that most of the reviews on this website, which happen to be negative, are from people who do not have an iphone. Just people who assume. Lets not forget the wireless plan for the ipone also beats ANY OTHER PDA OUT THERE!! -
It was a bit more articulate than some of the other "reviews" but it's a hack job nonetheless. Who do you work for, Samsung or Verizon and how is it you own 4 phones, I'd hate to be paying your cell bill.

"to pleasant"

It's not a PDA; it's a smartphone. And its OS isn't buggy and crashy like your other cheap smartphones. But it has microwave, not radio, as many don't need radio/GPS on their phone. Also, iPhone will support 3G in Europe first, where there are already many older networks. And onehanded tapping isn't impossibil unless your hands/fingers are tiny. You could also hold it backhanded and use your forefinger. Why don't you recharge the battery instead? -
