Iphone can do a lot sophisticated thing but can't do the simple things below:

1) Can't set mp3 songs as ringtone.
2) Can't bluetooth files, pictures & mp3 songs to another phone.
3) Can't connect bluetooth to my laptop.

Basically the bluetooth feature is useless.

GPS reception is weaker than Nokia N82 too.


Any comment on my points above?

1) You can create iPhone ringtone via iTunes, however, only 15secs only =.='''
2)There's a programme under "cydia" em "iBluetooth" i think where you've to purchase it then you can send files via bluetooth.
3) You've to go to thru iTunes i guess.

GPS wise, no idea, nvr get to try it until now...

Reason being, in iPhone contacts, we have more than a 1000 contacts addresses which the simcard don't have enough memory to store... am I right?

Frankly speaking, Iphone can be the worst phone but is perfect to be an Ipod or personal computer smile.gif

1. there is so manys ways you can achieve this....even without JB ..... wiki it!

2. To BT. mp3 .... well that is actually copy write infringement . but if a mp3 file size you can BT, then the quality is out of the window. you wont be listening to it again

3. we all can tether.......HAIL Macs

With the price u bought at....u can easily resell it and might still able to earn some ^^ so y regret ?

Ringtone creation on my very own way:
1) Cut any MP3 into <30secs.
2) Copy into iTunes, convert it into .aac file.
3) Explore your file from the actual location (My Computer - Im not a MAC Guy)
4) Rename .aac extention to .m4r
5) Copy into iTunes again.
6) Sync into your iPhone and u r done!
7) Ok its complex LOL.

@xpresside,
It's not that one can't rant but what's the point of opening a thread just to rant? It's not like crying over spilt milk is going to help plus threads on this subforum's meant to be constructive.

If U wanna rant and complain, go to /k ! tongue.gif

Haha..

Firstly, I wanted to get iPhone first gen but with all the drawbacks then opted for a Nokia E66. It seems missing something then after than Maxis brought in iPhone 3G. Without hesitation I bought it. I have the thought why I buy a phone that so little function compare to my E66 but after JB my iPhone 3G, it open up the door for me to use Mac. Everyday I'll ON my iPhone to play around with but not my E66 even the E66 is my primary phone. tongue.gif My wife got little piss off because E66 was a gift from her. blush.gif

Thank you for your input hence i'll close this thread then.

TS, refer to this thread for more info.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281

I have no problems using the iPhone after 2 years and it's an amazing phone for me. If you're not comfortable in using the iPhone, sell it off and get something else. Frankly speaking, we will rant about anything we buy don't we...

Simple solution: Like it, keep using. Don't like it ..sell it.

Continue your discussion @ http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1170111
