This time the complaint comes from Paul who also faces a lot of issues with the iPhone.
Here is a direct quote from him through the iPhone complaint form:
Hardware shortcomings of iPhone:
No removable media – Windows Mobile allows MicroSD cards up to 32 MB each.
No 3G High Speed Internet capability-iPhone has the Edge network only.
No removable battery-Must send to Apple to replace
No GPS capability. – You can get Google Maps but the iPhone can not tell you where
you are on the map like a Windows Mobile with GPS (AT&T Tilt) You can not perform
internet LiveSearch without GPS. This is where you search for things by your
location. Show me the nearest gas station, public restroom, etc. to my current
location.
No Stereo Bluetooth- iPhone only has mono Bluetooth -
No real keyboard – iPhone is basically only good for reading emails, the touchscreen
keyboard is seldom used to enter very much because it is so slow.
No Voice Activation for dialing phone numbers and/or calling up Programs.
No Voice Recording for notes etc.Software shortcomings of iPhone:
No 3rd Party programs available. This is HUGE. Apple announced the release of a
Developers Kit but no programs have been introduced yet. There are thousands of
Windows Mobile Programs because Windows Mobile has been out for 15years and uses
open architecture.
Slingbox Mobile does not work on iPhone so you can not watch your home
cable/satellite TV channels with a Slingbox on iPhone. You must subscribe to the
lame AT&T Mobi-TV service for another $9.95/month.http://wmexperts.com/reviews/smackdowns/iphone_vs_windows_mobile_email.html
Email is more difficult to use on iPhone…see link above.
No ability to cut and paste text with iPhone. You must re-type anything from
documents/emails.No ability to edit or create new Microsoft Office Documents. You can display them
but not edit or change them. This is HUGE.GoToMyPc/Citrix does NOT work with iPhone. This program is used to connect to
another computer and access all the files and programs remotely.
