10 Things That Are Bad on the iPhone
Well, the author didn't say "bad", but that is what he meant. They mostly sound like nit picking to me, but there are a few that do sound unlike Apple.
1. The overall lack of a [visible] filesystem, and web-browser limitations.
In ability to download things from the web on my phone, such as ringtones, images from websites to save and reopen later on desktop computer.
2. Can't I do [obvious task]?
Example: Attaching a photo to a reply email.
3. You can't type fast without a lot of practice, and entering passwords isn't so private.
"So far, the best way I've found to type on the iPhone is by flipping it sideways like a T-Mobile Sidekick." (I have heard others say that. - LW)
4. Messaging? What messaging? And the lack of any sort of Junk Mail filter.
5. Menu navigation blunders. "Back" buttons change into "Edit" buttons in a few areas...
6. You need an adapter to use other headphones.
7. You cannot use the phone as a modem, or browse/transfer files via Bluetooth. Don't forget your iPod cable!
8. Google Maps -- Before I find where I'm going, let me find where I am.
9. I'm locked in with AT&T for 2 years on this phone!
10. I had to make this list...
