Amazing phone with a CPU frequency of 412 MHz and Physical memory of 116 MB. Here I am gonna discuss its drawbacks. So that you are aware of the ”Things Which It Can’t Do” before you buy one. I need to mention that these drawbacks vaporise when compared to the feel that the iPhone gives.
These points below aren’t good enough to make you stop buying an iPhone. Its just for ‘awareness’. **iPhone is ’awesome’ Few of the above problems do have a work around. The same is discussed at *https://3cu.be/?p=14
And with the iPhone SDK out we can expect more goodies to arrive soon.
The first problem which I observed was that the “**Bluetooth doesn’t support
anything other than the Bluetooth headset**“. You can’t use the Bluetooth in
the iPhone to transfer files (photos and obviously not songs) or
contacts to and fro other phones or even your PC.
No USB drive support**: You cannot use the iPhoneto carry around your data.
i.e. You cannot use the 8 or 16 GB memory asyou wish to. You can only use it to
sync songs, videos, calendar, contacts etc.When you connect the iPhone to your
PC with the data cable all you see in your My Computer is a drive which
contains only the pictures taken from the iPhone camera. “You may cut or copy
it into your PC” thats all you can do with the drive. You cannot even paste
data onto it unlike the iPod’s which appear as a normal drive when plugged in.
No video recording and camera doesn’t have zoom.
Limited number of ringtones**.New ringtones can be added only using the music
you purchase throughthe iTunes. SMS tones are again limited and you even cant
add new tonesthru iTunes unlike ringtones
No SMS forwarding:You cannot forward any SMS or even the ability to
delete individualmessages is missing. You will have to delete the whole
conversationwith that person if you want to delete something.
You cannot send business cards thru SMS, Bluetooth or even mail, as in
other phones.
*No MMS.
The **normal headphones can’t be used with the iPhone. It has some
sort of a longer plug with three layers. Don’t know the exact specifications.
Apple specs page says its a 3.5-mm stereo headphone minijack
You can’t open office documents or PDF’s on an iPhone, In fact you can’t
even store such things on your iPhone as discussed earlier. The only place you
can read PDF or word docs is in the email application.
When you send a picture thru an email it forcefully compresses the size without
giving an option to send in full resolution.
*No FM Radio.
