Are you planning to buy an iphone ? If so then this post is a must read for you.The much hyped iPhone 3G was launched in India a few weeks back and we have seen many issues and open security flaws in the new iPhone.Here I have some of the top reasons for which you shouldn't buy an iphone. The worst thing is that you cannot forward a SMS message!! Don't think that I am foolish, but really your iPhone 3G can't forward a simple SMS. You'll have to retype the SMS and forward it. There is NO copy / paste functionality. So you need to remember the texts and type again as you go. Bluetooth functionality is only limited to headset use. You cant do any file transfer over Bluetooth.So if you are planning to share your songs or photos with your friends then forget about it! Absolutely no camera settings its just like some ancient digital camera which does only point and shoot functionality.No Flash,No Zoom functionality. Photos taken in a VGA camera is better than that of iphone! The iPhone 3G is simply overpriced in India (Costs almost twice the price as in US) Its in built Safari web browser does not support Flash as well as Java. There is No office document editor. Most Nokia's come with inbuilt editors for Word / Excel. The iPhone doesn't has AD2P on the Bluetooth which means you cant get stereo sound via Blue Tooth headphones, thats a big disappointment for the music fans. The iPhone doesnt has a Removable battery. Yes you cannot change the battery yourself. Apple expects you to send the phone to an Apple Outlet to replace the battery. Now if you travel too much what are you gonna do? Look for an Apple Store to interchange the travel battery? iPhone doesnt has an option to send MMS. Forget about MMS. Though you cant sent MMS You can't receive MMS messages too! You cant set your personal songs as ring tones! The iPhone's screen is not Finger Print Resistant. Since the iPhone is a touch screen phone so it is bound to get your finger prints each time you touch so it gets dirty very easily. THE BIGGEST ONE ONCE YOU ARE ON 3G NETWORK(Which I suppose will happen in a year in India),YOU CANNOT MAKE CALLS TO A PHONE ON 2G NETWORK. SO IF YOU WANT TO CALL A PERSON WHO IS NOT HAVING A 3G PHONE. SORRY, YOULL HAVE TO FIND A PCO and a 1RUPEE!!! These are some of the top reasons that shows iphones incapability.But there are many more such reasons for you to stop buying an iphone.If you still want to buy the iphone then definitely you must be crazy?!
