And your responses are basically no better than what they are responding to.]]>Jun 5th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/Jun 5th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/
--- No MMS

Hmmm.. whilst not a deal breaker, every single phone in the UK allows me to take a picture, and send it to anyone else with a mobile phone using MMS. Its an instinct and social thing, and you only use it when you want someone to get that picture straight away.

Often... having them view it later by email just isnt the same.
MMS should be there by default. Your answer (wait until someone else builds an app.. that I may have to pay for, or email) is a cop-out. Just put your hand up.. 'current iPhone sucks' if you want this.

--- No Copy and Paste

Another travesty if typing an email and you need this function. My relatively ancient Nokia allows for this in limited use, but its better than nothing.

And not mentioned on your list... so Im assuming the iphone has them (as they are deal breakers to be honest)

--- Speakerphone for voice calls THAT CAN BE MUTED if required during the call ?

--- Ability to send an SMS to multiple people at the same time and receive delivery reports

--- Ability of the Camera to actually focus rather than fixed focus like some other mobile phone cameras, preferably with some kind of lighting / flash assist.

--- Ability to lock the phone with a PIN so that if someone picks it up (like your wife) she wont be able to access it

--- Has an Alarm clock built in for when traveling.

As simple as the above sounds... these are functions I use all the time on my old phone. If the iphone mark II has them all, than fantastic... otherwise.. NO DEAL.

Do you forget a decent camera , one-hand usage and the volume (even with "hack")/signal quality, after all it is a *cellphone*, however i don't known to put the blame on iphone or at&t on this aspect, and not forget the size (it's slim but height).

Iphone is cool but not so cool, even a crappy Motorola can kickass Iphone on this "minor" details.

-- I agree. Not everyone has email on their phone and they do have work arounds, but its not as simple and easy. True someone may write a reasonable MMS program, but Apple really should add this in. I mean, its not like its rocket science. They left it out on purpose to force people to use e-mail. and the phone number @ the wireless carrier.com crap is just that, crap. Sure I can send a message to them, but not all networks support email from a phone and what about the mass MMS?

- Ability to send an SMS to multiple simultaneous recipients and receive delivery confirmations.
-- iPhone already has that, sans the delivery confirmation. Delivery confirmations don't always work either. From AT&T phone to AT&T phone, maybe 50% of the time. From other networks, its a crap shoot at best. I had a Moto Q once on Verizon and that had perfect delivery confirmations from within Verizon and even to AT&T - but any other network you wouldn't receive them. As far as the delivery confirmations from a mass SMS, your just asking for trouble and I mean hard lock the phone you need to re-move the battery to reboot trouble.

- Auto focus & flash
-- You may actually see that with the 2nd Gen iPhone. But it is a phone after all. If you want to be Ansel Adams, get a real camera.

- Phone Lock
-- Current iPhone already has that. By the way, why _don't_ you want your wife looking at your phone?

- Alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, alarms
-- Current iPhone already has that.]]>Jun 5th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/Jun 5th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/
Because I'm bored, I think i'll go down the line and disprove (or rather improve without berating) those one by one (the ones that aren't editorial). I especially love the constant use of the word "idiot" despite mac users not being smug.

I realize that you are obviously on the defending end. Keep in mind that I'm trying to take a completely unbiased approach to this whole straw-man argument.

User replaceable battery: Hmmmmmm.... maybe one that isn't twice the thickness of the iphone itself? And one that is internal? Heck anyone can buy an external battery pack for their phone.

No copy/ paste: inexcusable. The iphone certainly has the capacity. It was simply a software design oversight. Easily fixed, but kinda annoying.

No mms: already doing the same on my windows mobile phone. I agree. Deal with it. And this way, you can send pictures to people who aren't on your same network. I also can't believe you didn't insert no video recording capabilities. Just saying, that's another complaint.

No 3G: Wait five days for MAYBE something to come out. Either way, if you're in the market for a smart phone, you might as well wait. It's not like it could hurt, and the iphone can finally be on the same hardware playing field as everyone else.

No 3rd party apps/ no push email: I agree with this, except for the liberal use of the word "idiot"

Too expensive: Most people have a job. However, most people are also constrained by a little thing called a budget. Also, food/clothing/house or car payments might be more important to some people than having a new phone (Crazy! I know!)

For the next few that have to do with someone who evidently doesn't like any cell phone company in existence, if you buy an iPhone from Apple, iTunes will not let you sync until you buy service from AT&T. I'm not sure if unlocking the iPhone will allow you to do this, but either way, you have a very expensive paperweight until you sign your life away to AT&T for much more than you would any other company. Even the most expensive plan for the iPhone isn't unlimited, whereas the unlimited plan for someone like Sprint is only $100. That's it. Done.

Apple should unlock the iPhone: Why? They make a lot of money off of their partnership with AT&T. However, most other smart phone companies also sell unlocked versions of most of their handsets for slightly more. I've seen the new section of unlocked cell phones at best buy. Very nice selection.

I like Windows Mobile/ Symbian better: Fine. That's called freedom of choice. I personally have a Windows Mobile phone and i can safely make this analogy, having played with both operating systems. The iPhone's interface is like having a soft, cuddly kitten hug your face. The Windows Mobile interface is like having one of those huge control surfaces on the Enterprise. With an attitude. If you know what you're doing, you will be impressed with the ease of use and ability of the operating system. If you don't, prepare for it to stick its tongue out at you and blow raspberries.

Apple didn't invent multitouch: Only smartypants know it alls would say something like that. That's the equivalent to saying, you know Apple didn't invent MP3 technology, so they have no right using it.

I want a phone with a keypad: Again, freedom of choice. If that is something integral to what you want in a phone, then choose the phone with a keypad. Still, Apple has done a pretty good job determining how to prevent some of the problems some users would have with typing on a keyboard on a screen with no tactile feedback.

I hate Steve Jobs: Wow. The question asker hates a man, so he won't buy a phone from the company that he owns. That's called relying on feelings a wee bit too much.

Mac users are smug: I'm guessing that you, clack, own an iPhone. You claim that mac users aren't smug, and yet you cuss and call people idiots throughout the entire article.

I await your other-worldly response.]]>Jun 5th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/

Anyone with rudimentary comprehension skills could see that the word sarcasm only refers to the last point in the long line of complaints.

You are obviously a mac fanboy. This is proved by the fact that you have repeatedly said that you will not listen to anyone else and that you would buy the iPhone even if there were better phones out there.

Smug fanboy. Use logic. If for nothing else, just read the ideas of other people to get a feel for how they think. You are very narrow minded.

Notice that I have accomplished the same thing that you have without calling anyone an idiot or cussing.]]>Jun 5th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/pre-wwdc-iphone-rumor-roundup-atandt-out-of-stock-subsidized-pri/

Oh, nooooooooo! You called me a FANBOY. How ever will I recover from such an insult, especially since I refer to myself as a fanboy at least once a day.

I am an Apple Fanboy, okay? I am also smug, elitist, arrogant, immature, contradictory, self-absorbed, trollish (occasionally) and yes, I think I'm better than most Windows users, even though I boot XP every now and then so that I can play Counter-Strike: Source.

Happy now? I've taken care of all of the insults for you.

However, you're missing the point.

Continuing to make fun of other people's opinions while you yourself do not seem to be willing to change is the equivalent to putting a mirror in front of a male beta fish.

Arrogance will get you nowhere. It merely shows your stupidity further. Better to keep your mouth shut and have people wonder if you are dumb than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
