Ok, people will say Apple already made 2 iPhones.
But I don't think so. I think and I rank iPhone as the one of the best small-factor computer, which
takes you to internet everywhere, play games everywhere, and even doing IM everywhere. Even though
the crash rate is a bit high, but it doesn't change the outcome of the best small-factor computer.
iPhone is a small-factor computer with the ability to call using cellular network.
Now, what's the problem you might ask.
1. It crashes too often to be a phone.
Last time I crashed, I was browsing a complex website, which mind you Safari crashes every time you
go to a website that uses tons of picture or ram-eating monster stuff. I was browsing a complex
website and my girlfriend called. The incoming call window show up and I cannot press the Green
button! It stops responding to any input! Ok, at least this time I got her call, I know I can use
Nokia to phone her back.
2. Too many drop calls to be a phone.
It is ridiculous! This month I receive around 30 complains toward friend/customer/boss phoning me
that iPhone didn't even know of! Apple promised to fixed it on 2.1 but eventually it DOESN'T. What
can a phone do if it cannot receive calls?
And trust me, it is not Roger's fault (strangely as this is the first time I defense Rogers),
because the Nokia backup phone receive calls fine.
3. Keyboard problem.
Today I had a little vacation trip to a ski resort, so I left the Nokia-backup home and thought I
don't need this N80 as my backup phone. I was on holiday, who would call me? I was wrong again... I
had to call my friend from the summit! Ok, my glove wasn't those big one so normally I could press
button on a regular phone, but today it's my first time taking out the glove to slide-to-unlock and
wait-longer-than-usual-to-load-Contact and by the time my friend was talking to me, my hand freezed
and could barely hold a phone... Plus, it is even slower to react or no reaction to finger tip at
all at -14C... So it made already very slow phone even slower.
I mean... Come on, Apple!
How hard can it be to make a cellphone with syncing MobileMe function on it? I want a phone with
these of function in it, not the other way around...
