Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Mar 16, 2009 7:06am PDTMonday, already? It seems like I barely got anything accomplished this weekend.
Really, I just played an hour or two Resident Evil 5, co-created and tested a Peggle drinking game, cleaned the apartment, watched some Wire, and read a few chapters of Snow Crash. The rest of the time, I was either sleeping or doing something here.
There were also about five minutes spend on a hammock. Hammock weather, at last!
On the plus side, um, I've got another chance at the weekend here in a couple days?
Great display, browsing and music player But….the iPhone is a mediocre phone. Period. Lousy battery life, have to shut off Bluetooth, and 3G else gotta charge it every night. Keyboard so-so --easy to make mistakes; and no custom preset messages. No copy/paste. I can’t leave myself voice reminders. Lousy cheap camera, not even a flash. Geez, I can’t record video either. Can’t take stuff off the phone easily. I have to connect to a computer! No Bluetooth data. Weak 3G coverage where I live. Holding it for phone calls is uncomfortably wide. GPS navigation useless, no talking or re-routing. No effin speed dial! Where’s the increasing ringer? WTF, No freakin hands-free voice command or dialing. What, no stereo Bluetooth? My boss sent me a zip file, couldn't open it. What a scam, but at least I look cool having an iPhone.

1: I havent charged my phone in 2 days, havent needed to
2: Dont have much of an issue with the keyboard myself
3: Custom preset messages? Who uses those aside from tweens txting about myspace?
4: Copy/Paste. Eh Ive never been in a situation where I needed it but I can see the benefit.
5: Voice reminders? LOL there are like 5,000 free apps that allow you to do this
6: Cheap camera? It may not be 5mp but this isnt shoddy http://photocritic.org/amazing-iphone-photos/
7: Video: Yeah I agree with this, it should be there
8: Taking stuff off the phone is incredibly easy.
9: Uncomfortably wide? Ive never had an issue
10: GPS navigation usesless. I disagree. In fact it was pretty accurate while driving around portland trying to find my damn hotel in Vancouver. It was very accurate.
11: Increasing ringer? Really?
12: Hands free voice dialing, dont care, never needed it. Again there are apps that do this also.
13: Stereo blue tooth would be cool, but I dont find it necessary.
