The iPhone 3G offers users very limited upgrade in terms of additional software applications. For example, when the phone is held in landscape mode, the otherwise ho-hum calculator becomes a full scientific calculator. Big deal! Then the address book now boasts of a search option for locating your contacts easily.
However, some basic features are still missing and knowing the Indian audience, these features will be sorely missed, especially Bluetooth. It’s disheartening to know that Apple has designed a premier handset like the iPhone, upscaled it, and still left out essential features that you’d find in handsets not even half as glamorous as this.
So there's no Bluetooth file transfer or A2DP, and no FM radio – although according to David Pogue's review the music player and overall sound quality has improved greatly. Other features the iPhone does not have include video calling (even though 3G is supported), video recording from the camera as-is, and MMS. Oh, and it still has the selfsame annoying keypad.
Business users will find the iPhone a handy tool, especially since it’s now designed to easily work with the likes of ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange servers. Email is a cinch if you can get used to the keypad. It also has support for push email, push contacts, push calendar, auto-discovery of Exchange servers, global address lookup, and a remote wipe security feature. Microsoft and iWork documents can be viewed, and yes, you also have bulk email deletion.
Apple promises a 5-hour talktime for the new handset, but according to Walt Mossberg, with 3G enabled and screen brightness at peak, the battery isn't good enough. There's no removable battery yet, so if your device hangs, resetting it is going to be a problem. What Mossberg suggests is to keep 3G switched off and use Wi-Fi instead (where available) and also dim the screen. Watch Walt's review below.
what would be the expected price and when they are launching the iphone in india...?????
