You were saying that you cannot send/receive file via BT?

Yeah...can't receive/send files through BT..
Ok tell you what la u guys..before i was like u all...
The iphone specs wise will lose to alot of phones wan..
But now i using iphone..i tell u i won't use any other phones anymore...
The only thing i hate about iphone 3G is not for sale in malaysia..hahah

Strongly agree. The UI is the best i've seen so far. Even HTC Diamond TouchFlo is no match for it.

the only hate i have rgarding my aifontriji is....

theres no case for it....that can match its sleek and sexyness...

Seems like this thread is getting no success...more and more iphone 3G supporters "protesting"

I guess the lack of file transfer using BT is the major factor that cause a lot of potential iphone 3G buyers back off...but again, strongly agree that the UI is the best among all now...

The purpose I created this thread is to find out the disadvantages of aifontriji.
I'm planning to get one so get some real time advice from those owners here.

hows the typing? i had a PDA and after that i sweared on my grave that i would never get another keypad less phone.

it seems like this thread is conquered by iphone lovebirds..

no single hand sms?

i find it hard to answer call when driving. have to take out from pouch one hand, then, "slide to answer".

unlike most touchscreen device will only need to touch one point.

@honght
well.... What you hate about Aifontriji?
When you really start using it... I think LOVES will more than HATES afterall.
Trust me... You will say so after u use it.
Oh ya... Back to your question, the Hate about Aifontriji is that.... I'm STILL not an iPhone user

@cladmania
I don't think by far other touch screen's keyboard is as good as iPhone !
It's extremely good and you can type it very fast as like you were on computer's keyboard ! One word only can describe it is "AMAZING" !

yepp, agree with u


yeah, cant receive/ send any files via BT
can only do connection with hands free BT


same here


yepp, sure it is

Honestly...all the specs this phone is missing i don't really use..

BT transfer - nothing important
Video Call - I never use even though i have it in my previous phone
Camera low specs? - No matter how good the camera on the phone is it will never beat a real camera...so just get a camera
Memory Card slot - honesty i using 8gb also not full yet...haha

so far so good, me same with masamune, those not important to me
but today, just something annoy me, maybe i still dunno how to use, but how can i forward the sms?

@rx

Haiya, mmg cannot forward sms la.

i never find such any.

no copy and paste sometime irritate me but i get used to it slowly.

Is there any chance of releasing an application that can manage and transfer files via Bluetooth ? I wonder.

easy laa, how come u didnt know?

@gengstapo,
The original SMS doesn't allow U to forward messages. It also doesn't allow MMS.

The one other thing I don't like about the iPhone 3G is that it's a finger-print magnet!!!

flat chance mate as it contradicts apple's policy.

BT cant send and receive file but last time i think there a third party application that can make you transfer song from your iphone using wifi only, but it was firmware 1.14 etc, dont know either have for 2.0 or not.

You want copy/paste function?
Go buy the MagicPad in itunes lor..
The best u can get as copy paste..

ini gengstapo mau kana belasah ni

masmune thanks, i go see now

@rx330

I think MagicPad copy and paste works only within the apps itself. Can't really copy or paste anything to another app yet..

Just some info on OpenClip which has the copy and paste function framework. Check out the link below.

OpenClip - non-profit, open-source, community-effort project, which promotes a framework for the iPhone that allows users to copy / paste between participating applications.

http://www.openclip.org/main.php

thanks david

I think one of the main reasons BT been disabled for file transfer is because of piracy issues esp with song transfers.

OpenClip framework have been squashed by FW2.1. Its no more compatible.

almak......

Yup.. squashed kau kau... Hope that they will come back with a solution.

lol, agreed. i might be slow or something, but it took me a minute too long to figure what people are talking about, thus i hated 'aifontriji'. plus it gets annoying after a while, imo anyway.

i guess i might be a simpler user than others as i don't really need a phone that does everything, but does what it can, well. in regards to the iphone, a few simple additions would make it perfect to me...

- copy/paste
- flash content on the web browser
- viewable videos from sources other than youtube (this would be a dream capability as i watch video blogs A LOT)
- sms/notes & other keyboard-heavy tasks available in horizontal mode
- podcast download, preferably through itunes store or as an independent app (again, i listen to podcasts A LOT)
- video capture
- a2dp (being able to listen to songs using wireless bluetooth earphones)

that's all...for now

Aifontrigi

- No SMS forwarding (Hated this fact since the first gen iPhone days... How difficult could this be, Apple?)
- No note syncing (Currently using Evernote, which is pretty neat but would be great if notes in the native Notes application is synced to the comp)

Not interested in Jailbreaking anymore as there's the AppStore, so workarounds by using apps from Cydia/etc are not an option.

Oh yes, I also don't quite agree with the way the iPhone 3G is commonly spelled/referred to in this sub-forum. People made a fuss about the iPod Touch being called the iTouch; so I believe I could make a fuss about the iPhone 3G being spelled the way most people here are spelling it. Improper spelling makes it difficult for people new to the forum to search for topics/posts related to the device.

yea... just now need to forward a message.... sigh.....

make me miss iSMS. That one should be a replacement for the stock app.

the fact that i hv to take a whole lot of money to get one

well..mebbe nt a whole lot but i wud hv to put aside a lump sum

Mono speaker sounds so lousy and cracking like nuts ever since 1st gen... 3.5mm audio jack not universal (due to its cylinder) but can use adaptor... I love that cold alumunium body, but i love black too...

1. copy/pastey
2. MMS
3. no Received call log. Only "All" and Missed" tab
4. no Send VCard contact no. using sms
5. No Video Call
6. bluwtut (send recieve files)
7. hard to type sms when driving
8. pop3 mail not working. i dun know whats the problem.
9. no iphone browser to transfer files have to ssh exept i heard itunnel
10.low battery energy
11. the most i hate is iphone 3g that i bought locked.

er... mind me asking, wats the reason u bought the iphone in the 1st place?
the so call pros for u?

I hate it when people are thinking that I'm using a China phone instead.

My take on the deficiencies of the Aifontriji is currently on the software side. specifically the iTunes. I've several instances where the backup feature simply gave up on it, and the Aifontriji jumped to the Apple logo and stays there. Why this happened, would most probably tied in with the current state of bugginess of iTunes. Yes, it happened on a Mac, I'm using one. could be contributed to several factors, like me having apps spread across 7 pages, and also having tons of webapps as well.

Other gripes on the Aifontriji are no cut and paste, and the Aifontriji's current weak 3G signal acquisition. Both should be rectifiable via software means. Hardware-wise, I see the Aifontriji as an upgrade, with smooth looks and metal buttons. But with that smooth looks, comes the responsibility of making sure it stays that way, hence the almost OCD-like need to carry a polishing cloth and polishing it to a mirror shine. Maybe it's just me.

Aifontriji, just throwing that word out again to accentuate its mirthful nature. Anyone getting miffed over something as trivial as this, clearly needs to take a chill pill.

The copy/paste function will be available after few updates i think..haha

The most dire feature is.......

Undo feature.

Many times I'm typing some very important numbers or letters or some things to rectify that end up with an extra letters added. And then when I want to delete it, I accidentally tap too many times and whoosh the letters go missing.

My very old Palm Zire 21 has a lovely cut and paste (across multiple application k?) and has a fully working Undo feature. Which is why I am still using it (and with apps with data older than Britney...). So Apple...why?

And... so people wont stop shopping in thier itunes store. But itunes store is not so bad and its a good thing that itunes keep updating to suit demands..

copy/paste is essential... especially when i already posted the pics to flickr and wan to post in forum...

i kindda like haptic feedback like viewty...

Anymore rants willing to share ? lol

The only gripe that i have with iPhone is the SMS

1. Foward msg
2. Send business cards
3. The ability to delete single msg only and not the entire conversation

I know there have 3rd party app for this but it would be good if apple implement this themselves.

I though iPhone already got the function to delete entire conversation right?
Click the "edit" button when you're at text messages, then a red icon will show up next to the conversation, just click it and tab the "delete" button on the other side.
Sorry if I am wrong.

@5w33
Did u read my item 3 carefully before posting that or u didn't understand that sentence?

he mean he want to delete single message, not the entire conversation

duh

coz sometimes we need to delete just the sensitive info and not the entire conversation, just in case someone decide to snoop on our test msges.

a friend of mine wants me to deliberately jailbreak her officially unlocked aifontrigi, so that she can delete individual received/made/missed call lists to avoid being detected


talk about being unfaithful eh?


p/s i'm not referring to you, frozzbyte

not having a navigation software that doesnt need data connection (3g,wifi,edge,gprs)

For me is where the SMS system is really i hate, can't save any msg i needed (there is a 3rd party software needed to pay 5 euro, but i do wish apple will came up firmware with SMS support like old phone (aka standards phone SMS features) As well as the MMS

Other than that, i don't think i go any much complain with it.

Also, hate it when Iphone don't have maps for navigation, all must DL, eat my $$

This post has been edited by Shock: Sep 14 2008, 04:17 PM

Thats becoz the phone was targeted for unlimited data usage.

@nokia2003
I know but for me its more to passwords or bank account or such sensitive stuff.

my only problem is that its such a high end fone, but they dint include some features like video call...

so for me, its video call, limited bluetooth, video recording, and copy-paste (altho this has not effected me... YET!)...

with that said... i still love my iPhone!

I hate it because it gave me this new syndrome ..

The willnotuseotherphone syndrome .. *sobs*

yes, it's sad ... so far there's no cure yet ..

LOL !!!!

aifontrigi

alma, wats there to be hi end? the phone is cheap

he mean iphone = high end phone but didn't include some of the basic features found on phones that cost half or even less.

iphone cheap meh? still a high end price tag to me.

hi end phone meh?
by right its cheap, 199 usd nia

i hate i3g because....





until now i still havent buy it

yeah but need to sign contract mah, in US it's expensive i think, i think around USD$60 per month, X3.45 around RM200 already. so say 1 year contract 12months xRM200 = RM2400 + USD$199 (around RM700) = RM3100...

in sg also same. i checked the price, S$800 for iphone with S$25 per month, end up around RM3400.

of course for those who buy straight without using the plan = expensive. for SG people consider cheaper.

that's why i'm waiting for maxis to bring in, so i can pay less for the phone while still maintaining my regular phone bill.

then by left... adding up the subscription... it is expensive...

And those amazing apps and games in AppStore too.

well, maybe the way i see it different, kenot count the subscription lor
