iPhone drawbacks (for the people in India)




People in india who bought the iphone were very much disappointed that very basic features that they were using with other phones are missing. Here are the list of features that are missing in the iphones,




No video calling

No AD2P on the Bluetooth,

CAN'T share ANY (mp3, images, videos....) files via bluetooth,

Can't use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone , but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home)

No copy and paste, (cannot copy a part of a.... Say... email & send it....have to type it out yourself)

No 3.2 or 5 mega pixel camera, (the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera I've ever seen... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)

No video recording with camera,

No front camera, No flash.


No JAVA support

No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a deal breaker...touch keyboard as good as it looks...once you use it then only you come to know about the importance of having a hard keypad)

No 3G network yet in India, so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services ... so, for India, iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version

No removable battery. (You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!...This is not an iPod. It is a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days)

No haptic feedback and cannot send MMS,

Can't use as external storage device (16 GB of utter waste. Next time you go to your friend's house & find some interesting songs, movies , etc...Sorry you cannot connect your '16 GB' phone and share it! Apple apparently has a solution.. " BUY MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE "...... Give me a break will you APPLE!!!)

No FM radio,

Can't use your mp3 files as ring tones,(This is heights man!!!)

Cannot insert any other SIM card….

Completely tied to iTunes... Connect to your friend's iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone.
