the boring thing is u need to sync.......zzz wasting space.............i.e if u want to have 12gb of movie in your iphone u need the keep that 12gb on your pc also .....or else its lost on the next sync, doesnt really help

just don't sync it. u can set to "Manually Manage" in iTunes.

Or you could just save it in a folder you created without syncing with iTunes and then use AVPlayer to play the movie. Same thing. No hassles with iTunes. There's always a workaround for this kind of stuff. It depends whether you want to or no only.hahaha


Cheers

To me Iphone is great.... very good response on the touch screen, only disad is the ringtone n bluetooth, d wifi n safari is gr8

that is his own critics on the iphone, so respect that as this thread is about listing the DISadvantages of the iPhone.. everyone has their own point of view, whether good or bad, they have their reasons behind that..

instead of going into a defensive mode, it would be better for you/us to instead ask him why he thinks that way.. yes, i understand that his statement is very shallow i.e. wont mean anything if he doesnt elaborate on it but just saying it sucks..

but that option only comes with itunes 7.6
i thought itunes 7.5 is better for iphone? last time i can see some guide alwiz recommend itunes 7.5..
so now it's ok to use itunes 7.6 already?

I appreciate your comment jakesean but I don't respect a shallow remarks from that person. Its not a critics since he didn't elaborate on it and he don't even own one. He just used his friends phone and his friend said its not good. And based on that he also said its not good. Thats why I don't take it as a comment toward this thread. I've seen few users feel using the phone is a hassle and comes to a point saying its not a good phone. When i've met them and explain, then they see the full potential of the phone. Some people just bought a phone/device without looking at its capabilities. This is what i see with his friend ... maybe its an In-thing to own an iPhone and makes him think that he must own one too.

Sure the phone have its flaws but it can be circumvent by 3rd party apps. Yeah the bluetooth file transfer not working ... yet. The hardware is there, only the protocols not been implemented. Its still a new phone and should not be compared with SE, Motorola or Nokia thats been in the business for a long time. Its not defensive mode but I felt inappropriate for him to post that remark when he didn't own one and has no experience using the phone.

no its not! the phone itself its already being subsidised by the network. for a fine machine like this, i wouldnt mind paying rm3000 and above honestly.

Added on May 5, 2008, 1:34 amokay, clearly this is a hot topic argument as posting stuff like these against so many pro-iphone users here are obviously unfavorable. hence i try to be fair and refrain myself to be biased as much as possible.



first of all, i do recognise that everyone is entitled to their own opinion; i mean how boring the world is gonna be if everyone hates and loves the same thing. hence i welcome any CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms.



but there is a clear distinct about this particular thread (or any iphone bad mouthing threads) as there are two types; an immature statement (as shown by a few obvious members here) and a constructive comment about iphones' disadvantages.



an immature comment would include things like "no big deal, just another common phone", "even my cheapo xxx brand phone can do better" or its equivalent whilst a constructive comment about iphones' disadvantages would range like "low battery life capacity, limited wifi recipient signal" etc etc etc.



lets not kid anyone; commenter who shows immaturity are usually those who think that by holding the phone on their palm and scrolling here and there for a couple of minutes will quickly assumed that they have seen everything what an iphone can possible do and assuming thats an iphone's maximum limitation. even to this very day, i still cannot get enough of my iphone and cannot possibly understand how shallow can one be to even contemplating typing stuff like that without going through their feeble minds.



hence, to end my post, i would like to emphasis that such immature commenters do not deserve any respect from us. no point arguing or allowing them to explain themselves as you know at the end of the day, they are just plain immature and shallow.


thank you very much for reading!

I couldn't agree more. The concept is the same as "If you don't vote, then you have no right to complain". Ergo, jikalau anda tidak memiliki sebuah iPhone, maka anda tidak mempunyai isi-isi bentangan yang mencukupi dan juga hak untuk membuat sebarang aduan/pembentangan.

i wonder if there is a perfect phone/ pda phone in this world

theres none, cause the manufacturers intended to earn $ from us. Imagine if theres 1 ultimate super duper uber ownage perfect phone/pda out there, then there won't be many people buying new phones/models any longer.

that is if and only if dey come up with a super duber phone

ya .. then ppl will be carrying a laptop with a built in phone ..

yea..i agree with nokia2003~

and in my case,i use ngage classic for about 3years till i drop it n broke its screen.but still,the phone is special for me eventhough it doesnt have camera.for me,special handphones arent supposedly to have all this great n superb functions,its all about unique..i think iphones doest have one..well,wat can i say..it is from apple...zZZz..

correct me iif im wrong~

Finally! Someone actually something constructive.

very true.

I've been using 7.6 since forever. No noticeable issues for me..

ic..
time for me to upgrade my itunes then

the thing i like about iphones is the onscreen keyboard.
since iphone is such a great phone, why are there many people who wanna sell the iphone after 1-2 months of usage?

easy, they are simply not patient enough. i cant simply forget the first week when first got mine. i had sleepless nights researching about it and perfecting my knowledge (though im still far from perfection). i would say there is a threshold time (variable for different people) that you need to overcome to get comfortable with the phone.
