It’s been 5 months since the iPhone was released in the UK and after all the hype of this gadget from apple you have to wonder why no-one has created real competition for the iPhone…is it really that good? Well in a word NO! As some ho has had the iPhone from the day it was released I am starting to despise this little gadget sure its probably the coolest phone ever made but it lacks so many important things the one thing i can say is it saves me on some pocket space so instead of having to carry around a phone plus and iPod i can just choose one… so lets get into why the iPhone is no good but still you have to buy it because their are no real alternatives!
1. The Touchscreen
This is my single biggest annoyance with the iPhone after 5 months of using the touchscreen QWERTY keyboard to text people iam still slow as hell compared to an actual button phone… the buttons are to small for my fingers and the fact that you cant flip the keyboard horizontally means you can’t get a real grip on the phone
2. The Network
o2 suck….simple as they only have 3 plans available for the iPhone and there is no 3G means that the internet without WiFi is pretty poor and with EDGE barely available anywhere you are stuck with GSM and crawling loading times….
3. No Other Sims
So i have paid £279 for the iPhone and i have to use it on o2’s contract i cant even switch out my sim card for a pay as you go, even if my contract has ended….so without an o2 contract my iPhone is just a glorified iPod. And if you try to unlock it then be prepared to get your phone blocked and turned into a brick!
With all that said i would still buy one…simply because there are no other alternatives that look as cool, have the same functions and are not the size of a house.
