Time for a little rant

My iPhone fell in the toilet and now there's poo all over my "slide to unlock". Now everytime I want to use my phone, my finger becomes really smelly.

I hate you Apple.

Put some coffee beans on top of it for awhile, it'll absorb the smell. That's how I got some beer smell off a book that I was planning to take to school. My dad spilled it, not me, I don't drink.

The guy conceded and threw the towel in already?

Yeah, im awsome like that 

Actually, I can name a device that was the ideal mobile. It was my erriccson 388. Lemme tell you why:

1 It was a tank. You could drop kick it with a steel toe boot, and it wouldn't break because there wasn't a whole lot in it to break.

2. Awsome screen. Two colors, green and black and 5 different contrast settings. So you could always read what was on your screen, no dicking with wallpaper.

3. Stupid simple. it make calls. it received calls.

4. It could SMS, but who really cared? you actually made a phone call with it.

5. Ringtones. Annoying chirpy and loud as hell. None of this 15 second soundbyte crap of your "favorite song" over playing...

6. Enhance black list feature. The reception was so bad at times, you couldnt even get a call.

7. The choices and features were astounding. Black with a green screen, or black with a green screen, and a pocketgolove protecrtore.

Well....how could I argue with that.

Yep, I did. Cos there's a whole lot of unnecessary argument over simple stuff. I added my wife's phone for effect, but everyone seems to be caught up in the fact that my wife's phone fell down the stairs so that's the reason why my own iphone isn't working. Hmm.

If I had to buy another phone, it would probably be an iphone, but that doesn't take away the fact that there were basic omissions from the iPhone. I talk about SMS, but a vocal few seem to think that sms is not so important, so points to apple.

It's a great phone, but it could be better. My 2 cents.

^I completely agree that it could be better. And yes, there were some (IMO) stupid simple things left off the iphone. Everything has room for improvement.

But I still think its its top of the list for mobile devices.

I've owned probably about every pda device, mobile gadget, blackberry device (Also, one of my favorites - great phone) and the iphone does a very good job of combining so many different features.

Yes the iPhone is amazing, but I too am amazed at some of the things left off the iPhone. The simplest thing, landscape texting. What is so hard about adding that?

[boe_dye]

What I don't get, is why it got bashed for not being a good "business" phone, or even in the PDA/Smart phone category.

Comparing it to my Wizard, which is under the smart phone/pda category, it does all the same things only simpler, faster, and infinitely better.

Aside for the keyboard being a bit tricky, what is so different from this and say a Black Berry? My wife has a Black Berry, and aside from the interface, I don't see a whole lot in feature difference...

God, I just want to break something right now....
