What’s Lacking
The iPhone may seem like ‘All Dat’, but here’s what it lacks –
1. You can’t use music files as ringtones and the inbuilt ringtones are just plain Blah.
2. The iPhone doesn’t have Stereo Bluetooth support (A2DP). Nor does there seem to be any option for transferring files via Bluetooth or connecting it to the PC via the same.
3. The speakerphone is too darn low.
4. It has no FM radio and no inbuilt games. What will we do to pass the time while commuting?
5. The 2MP camera has no settings whatsoever and doesn’t record video.
6. When the iPhone is hooked up to your PC only the image library opens up to either remove or add pictures. There’s no other option for a drive for data.
7. There doesn’t seem to be any option for sending images via MMS, only email.
8. There doesn’t seem to be any option for reading office documents either.
9. You can sync the iPhone only to one PC unless you’d like to lose all your information.
10. The earphone slot is a bit odd to use with normal 3.5mm jack earphones.
Bottom Line
Here’s the verdict. The iPhone incorporates some of the most amazing technology we’ve come across. It’s a damn good-looking phone as well with a bright interface and Apple’s Cover Flow and gyroscopic technology that make maneuverability really easy. But it has the most basic of applications for normal usage thogh it's equipped with a great media player with a large screen.
The thing is though, the iPhone makes even the most mundane applications look good. The Bluetooth issue could be just a problem with this one piece, we can give it that. But the lack of some of the most basic of features in a device 'so politely' termed as the ‘Jesus’ phone, leaves too much to be desired. Ok so this is round one, hopefully Apple will overhaul it in round two. Let’s hope so. But as it is, I’m afraid it wasn’t what we expected, perhaps that’s also because, it’s possible it was hyped a bit too much thereby increasing our expectations.
