Here another one of those complaints that touch the concept of IM and text messages:
Ha! This is funny that I’m posting a complaint on the Internet about one of the most hitech phones put there. I was never much of a phone person. If you were lucky you would get a text message or IM. Admittingly I enjoyed being MIA at times. But anywho people do need to contact u, so get with the times right? To my surprize my best freind and her awsome husband decided to hook me up with a phone. I know I’m a conformist. So, being that I mainly like to text, my complaint is; why can’t I turn my phone sideways while texting and instant messaging? Being that it’s touch screen and not actual buttons, I contantly hit the wrong letters. Even with small fingers.I must say of drives me nuts even with the spell check. I think that would be a nice feature to add in maybe an update or something. Other than that for now it’s a cool phone. I love the free apps. I like to say I’m going shopping when I’m searching in the app store.
This user complaints on the lack of support for office documents on the iPhone:
Yesterday a colleague send me the specifications split in few documents. I received his email and all tge attachments but I was not able to open it! I know there is a lot of politics when dealing for compatibility but we need this feature to read office document for sure. How to compete with tge blackberry if the iPhone cannot read an Excel or Word document?
I still have more pros than cons but the compatibility to read office documents is coming more crucial in my professional activities!
What are your experiences with office documents on the iPhone?
Here is another caomplaint on the missign flash player on the iPhone:
This complaint has probably been mentioned many time but it is the most downer for me. I work as a web developer and mostly with technologies such Flex and ColdFusion. Naturally, those technologies are onwned by Adobe and offer a Flash interface at the end (let’s focus on Flex now as ColdFusion is a bit more complex for explaining is relationship with Flash). I work on the development of a virtual trade show. I don’t know how we can replace Flash to do everything it is actually do now!
As a lot of people, I can use my iPhone to do most of my activity but accessing my own development is not possible because the Flash player is not installed. I know it is not a technology problem. I am sure it is stricly politics. This iPhone is not a gadget, it is a tool to help professional organize better their time and have flexibility of access. At tge price the phone is and with the powerful marketing campaign Apple use, it cannot stay like that without action. Perhaps somebody can just push the flash player lite on the iPhone safari but block the flash/shockwave technology to work so the appStore wil maintain the primary role (using the iPhone SDK). It is not so complicated!!!
This user reports how he fixed his iPhone headset connector with super glue instead of the the Apple service:
The male end of the iphone headphone broke off inside my phone. Made an “appointment” 80 miles from home to meet with the Apple techs and was told to bad it’s not warranty covered, you have to buy a new phone. (I bought it 60 days ago). Came home put super glue inside the adapter where it broke on the headsets, stuck into the hole, waited a few minutes and it came right out. Apple will not help you, even though they will tell you it’s a common complaint / problem.
What are your ways to fix your iPhone?
