Shove Your iPhone Up Your iArse

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Retail Therapy

I wish everyone would just shut the fuck up about iPhones! They’re crappy phones! Stop talking about them like it’s the second coming of Christ!

- it doesn’t do MMS
- it has a 2MP camera that doesn’t have a flash, can’t zoom in and doesn’t do video
- it doesn’t support Flash or Java (despite telling everyone in press conferences that it has the FULL internet experience)
- the bluetooth compatability works for only a small number of brands
- when checking your email, it downloads the entire email, images and attachments included, so unless you’re on some kind of unlimited data-package, that’s gonna drive your phone costs through the roof
- it has no radio
- it doesn’t have a turn-for-turn GPS system, only Google Maps
- they’re still doing that fucking non-replaceable battery thing
- you can’t even fucking copy & paste!

plus, the thing’s fucking huge!

Yes, it syncs up with your computer and email and all that junk - but that’s nothing that my 6 month old Nokia doesn’t already do! Oh, and don’t give me this “but these are things that are going to be coming in firmware updates” crap - that’s SUCH a cop-out. If you went to buy a car and instead of full leather seats, you had to sit on milk crates, despite the fact that the guy said “don’t worry, come back in 3 months and we’ll put them in for you” would you still buy it? Hell no you wouldn’t. So why is the iPhone any different?

Fix all these problems, make your iPhone do all the above things, maybe even chuck in a few new features for me, and make the HD a decent size, then we might talk, but in the meantime, stop going on about all these apparent great features, and just admit that you’re either an Apple fanboy or a consumerist whore, and I might actually respect you.
