iPhone - ain't that great

Got back to work today, and we've receive 4 of the new, highly anticipated and new 'must have' iPhones from Apple.

It seems some people higher up in the company wanted them... but it means as IT Support staff we have to learn how to use them.

From playing with it today, and discussing it all with my colleagues we've come to a decision.

The iPhone sucks!!!!

Hard to use, the Internet is useless (opens in normal web browser mode, not phone mode so it's almost impossible to read and use)... you can't seem to change your default location on the GPS, the 'keyboard' is too small for fingers to use on the touch screen and there's no stylise to use.

Basically it's a device created to make hype and become a cult piece of technology, but it has not been built as a everyday usable device! It doesn't even come with an instruction book, you have to go to download it from the net (and that site crashes when you try and dowload it!!!!)

I can't believe people would line up for hours just to get one, without knowing exactly what they're getting, only knowing it's an Apple iPhone. It's true Apple style though, through marketing and meeting a 'coolness' value people seem to ignore the fact the products aren't really class leading at all.

I love my video iPod, and it's functionality is brilliant... they got that one so right, how'd they get the iPhone so wrong!!!!!??????
