What’s Stopping You? Reasons Why iPhone Is a Waste of Cash

By: admin

Are you into the iPhone hype? A lot of people are still in a daze on how many applications this smart phone can do. Yet there are still a couple of limitations, which may let you think: did I make the right decision or is the 8525 Pocket IE’s way better.

It’s just dual-band phone. This means that your smart phone isn’t 3G unlike any other average phone sold in the market today. It may be equipped with a Safari web browser, which is itself a piece of wonder, but it’s nothing because of bad EDGE connection. The 8525 Pocket IE seems backwards. Nevertheless, the UMTS connection is definitely high speed, which compensates other weaknesses. But it will work better if you have another add-on called PiePlus installed.

It takes more than just a click to perform a function. iPhone boasts of a one-button interface, yet it’s still loaded with too many cumbersome functions. One is that you practically have to do a lot of clicking—or, in iPhone’s case, finger touching—just to run an application or a program. Other phones such as the 8525 are full of buttons that are sometimes too hard to press, yet they can be programmed so you can automatically open applications with ease and one press.

There’s no way to have it customized. The iPhone is a web browser, iPod, and an average phone all in one. But you can never have the chance to change its default settings or to tweak the applications, unless Apple decides to open the platform to other software developers. The 8525, on the other hand, can install any third-party toolbar, along with the installation of PiePlus.

There’s no such thing as to-do list. It has a calendar system, address book, and highly advanced e-mail and call messaging option, but there’s no way that you can find a to-do list in an iPhone. This is completely heartbreaking for businesspeople and other professionals who are completely dependent on a checklist. You may compensate that with any web-based tools, but they don’t function unless you’re connected or using the EDGE technology. The 8525 has a useful to-do application, even if it’s crude. If it doesn’t work properly, then you can always choose to download other third-party options.

You’re stuck with a two-year contract. The buy the iPhone at such an expensive price is one thing, but to be tied to its two-year contract. The 8525, meanwhile, can be available at a price of $80.

With all the iPhone disadvantages, it still deserves a chance. After all, it hasn’t celebrated its first birthday. Who knows what other software upgrades Apple can offer pretty soon?

iPhone: What to Love and Hate

By: admin

If you’ve waited intensely for the release of the iPhone, then you’re simply one of the millions. Practically we’re all hit with the iPhone fever, because we’re enthralled by their so-called touch screen technology. But is this smart phone a true piece of eye candy or is it sugarcoated with too much exaggeration?

Let’s talk about the advantages of the iPhone. It has a very big screen, compared to any ordinary phones. This means that you can view text messages and images with clarity. Its colors are very sharp and very vivid.

I really don’t know how you’ll classify its touch screen system. Sometimes I find it fascinating really, since I don’t have to constantly bring the stylus or tire my fingers with the keypads. But since it’s a relatively new technology, this means constant practice is still needed. Nevertheless, finger pressing seems a lot of fun. In fact, there are already iPhone tricks that you can do.

Iphone allows everyone to connect to the Internet in a variety of ways. You can go for WiFi connection or utilize its EDGE technology. But if you’re previously using a 3G phone, iPhone may fall short as it’s only a dual-band phone; data transmission can be much slower. Its Safari web browser may not be at par with the one you have in your PC, yet it’s still very impressive. What other phone can allow you to look at web pages as they are?

The iPhone is also a true blue handheld video player that allows you to view TV shows, movies, and listen to music without any trouble. Of course, it also holds up to its very decent music player. But you can’t download music, and that’s a big hassle for anyone.
Phone functionalities are not compromised. In fact, you can now synchronize your address books so you can have your own one large database. You can select voice mail messages the same way you do for e-mails. So skip those unwanted phone calls. You may also synchronize your e-mails so you can receive messages in real time.

AT&T, its exclusive network carrier, doesn’t have any sufficient support when it comes to data network as well as for the lack of IMs and office applications. Handsets can get too warm when used constantly and the iPhone is very prone to smudges, requiring you to wipe it frequently.
One of the biggest iPhone drawbacks is its price, which is quite expensive at $599.
Is the iPhone worth to be loved or hated?

Your guess is as good as mine.

On Budget? Borrow an Iphone!

By: admin

Surely, you’ve been drooling for an iPhone, but the problem is you don’t have enough money. How can you enjoy the different advantages of this smart phone? Well there’s one efficient solution: borrow an iPhone. You definitely have a friend or two who’ll be glad to allow you to use it for the meantime. But if you want him to let you borrow again, here are some things you must not do:

Don’t Use Its EDGE technology. If you don’t want your friend to frown or worse never permit you to use the iPhone again, avoid using the phone’s Internet browsing technology unless you are near any WiFi connection. EDGE system of AT&T is slow with regards to data transmission. You shouldn’t tell your friend about this; else, he might think that you’re only trying to criticize the phone.

Avoid checking e-mails. When you’re using somebody else’s property there’s the temptation of perusing another persons missives—in this case, e-mail accounts. If you press the Mail button found in the iPhone, you’re given immediate access to your friend’s e-mail messages from Gmail, Yahoo, as well as other accounts. Hotmail, fortunately, gives you no easy option.

Do not surf porn in the iPhone. Maybe for curiosity’s sake, you decided to browse a porn site utilizing the Safari web browser of the phone. You think you can get away with it, but think again. Like any other web browser found in your PC or notebook, Safari has its own History function that can make it very easy for your friend to check the sites you’ve visited. Surely, he’ll know what you did.

If you can’t stop it, however, make sure that you clear History and cache before returning the iPhone. You can do that by pressing on the Home button. Go to Settings, look for Safari, tap it, and scroll down. Tap on “Clear Cache” and “Clear History.”

Avoid smudging and sneezing. Before you ever lay your fingers on the iPhone, wipe your fingers ahead. The screen may be superb and shiny to look at, but don’t coat it with grease. Turn your back or cover your mouth when you’re about to sneeze. If you think finger prints are bad, a sneeze residue is far worse.

Read the manual. There’s a reason why it has a manual, and it’s opt to be read. So do that. Ask your friend to read through the manual before you decide to operate the iPhone. Just a few hints, though. Don’t place the iPhone in any external heat source to dry the phone. Also, avoid crushing, bending, puncturing, shredding, microwaving, painting, disassembling, or inserting any object into the iPhone.

Unless you can’t follow this, then better get your own.
