42 Reasons You Still Don't Want an iPhone - pocketnow.com Discussion

How much on this list is bogus?? lol

cap10subtext

For anyone interested in reading the above, it's targeting Windows users.

Might as well say 30+ reasons you haven't switched to apple yet.

The whole list is pretty bogus. I mean, really, would someone really want to typeset an entire document on something the size of an iPhone? First, you would be blind from all of the squinting. Second, would someone really want to use Word to edit anything? To me, it looks like the author relaly just picked anything nonstandard (and hence, not supported on the iPhone) just to say "hey, the iPhone can't do this!"

His complaints are mostly just stupid. The iPhone is GSM - a worldwide standard that is used everywhere except in dumb old North America, where carriers are being pretty much forced to write off all of the equipment that shouldn't have bought in order to get with the program. GPS drives me nuts - like just go buy an inexpensive map book and take grade 3 Geography to learn how to use it... Oh, and he complains about not being able to use Micro$oft Live Search - does anyone next to the clueless use that? Don't people ususally use Google? And his fixation on voice recognition, as if that "technology" has ever worked properly... Pretty dumb posting, which is proof that people that use the Internet must apply their own intelligence to filter out such rubbish.

An Old Soul

Amen to that Evan.

Seriously- there are reasonable criticisms, and most of these aren't. The phone shouldn't do everything mediocrely. I'd like it to do what it does extremely well, which is what the iPhone has done from day one.

in fairness, the voice recognition on my Nokia is pretty spot on. the only issues I've had with the voice dial (voice recognition - not matching a recording you make earlier) is after a sync, very occasionally one of the contacts with alot of entries will "loose" the default tag, so Voice recognition doesn't look for it as an option.

It will be a feature that I will miss - especially with a BT headset connection.

LOL, I use this mantra to explain why I switched to a Mac at home a long time ago. Every time one of my buddies/coworkers/acquaintances explains why Windows is better, I just say I use a Mac because "It just works". And then I ask them how many security updates they've received since we started talking.

milhaus

Seriously? How many security updates has Apple released in the last year?
