Why Iphone Sucks or Why Form Wins Over Functionality

It can’t receive and send business cards.
It can’t receive and send multimedia images.
It can’t make a draft message.
It can’t forward contact details or messages.
Its Bluetooth function is useless (it’s only for the headset to receive/make calls, imagine that?)
It can’t delete a single message (you have to delete the whole conversation thread).
It has very few built-in ring and message alert tones.
The touch-feature is too sensitive. Unless you have tiny fingers, it will key in the wrong letters.
On top of that, the phone company informed me that I had to charge the phone everyday. Like, everyday?! WTF!!

But it does look nice and sleek. And saves one the risk of thumb-related RSI (from too much pressure on the thumb when texting).

Okay, I’m a little biased. I’ve been a Nokia user through and through – for the last 10 years! One of the reasons I got an Iphone was because I’m a Mac user and I thought compatibility would not be a problem. It isn’t, actually. Using the Iphone is like using a Mac – it kinda grows on you. And yes, I’m a very happy Mac user and have converted several friends already (hey I should get an incentive for this). I guess, I’ve not let Iphone get to me, yet. Will it ever?

My sister wants to get an Iphone. Hmmm, maybe it will grow on her instead.
