iPhone Fail
Feb. 14th, 2009 12:31 pmReturned the iPhone this morning for multiple FAIL, compared to my Moto Z9:
- No voice dial
- No voice commands
- No official support for my own ringtones
- Only one computer can sync with the phone - sync with another computer and it erases what the previous sync had installed
- No audio caller ID (My Moto phone speaks the name of the caller)
- No signal at my desk at work (Moto loses signal intermittantly)
- Display sucks up fingerprints and smears
- Can't add memory
- Soldered-in battery
- Contacts info needs to be done in Outlook, which is impossible because of #4
- Almost every free app is just a teaser for something expensive
- No bluetooth network piggybacking for my Eee and laptop
- No bluetooth data support (audio only - need a cable to sync)
- Non-standard data connector
- The pretty, large display
- Real wireless connectivity
High-res camera - Readable email and browser
- Fashionable white earbuds
- The phalanx of nubile nymphettes clamoring to be close to a Man With An iPhone
So, I am back to using the Palm TX for email and browsing and the Z9 for phone services. When there's no wifi for the Palm, I can piggyback on blkuetooth and use the Moto's data connection.
On thing which was a wash - both phones cost me the same, and both service plans cost about the same (remembering I sign up for texting and data on the Moto phone)
