Do you need ............................................?


I have to ask this to you frankly, because the above hardware specifications may convince you. But after you have just brought the gadget and finds that its not upto your expectations and its not good for any use, then i would say that its ur bad luck. Because you should always "look before you leap"!!!!!!!!!!

Iphone as entered into market created a lot of hype. It was said to create a revolution in Telecommunication Industry. But the actual result was sour. Though it had several features, it couldnt fulfull the expectations of the customers. You will understand this when u read the following facts. Ya they are real facts of iPhone.....


1) Miserable Speaker Sound Output
If you are a person who is not an ear phone addict, then it will surely disappoint you. Even ring tone are not audible properly. This is because the speakers are at the bottom of the phone.


2) 8 GB Memory size Good For Nothing!!!!!

For you what is the need of 8GB Memory??????...........
I know your answer will be..." 8GB Memory my god!!!!! are u in this world????, if i am having it i would have filled it with my favorate MP3s or Videos or my college/ office stuffs....."
But the truth is different!!!! Unluckily you cant save anything while browsing the internet on the iPhone. There is no provision for downloading mp3s, jpeg files or video file.......


3) Lack of MP3 Suppot

You could download a song to iPhone only if you have installed iTunes. Apple iPhone doesnt get detected by the computer like any other smart phones. You have to install Bloatware itunes and sync it. It doesnt have USB Drive support.


4) Camera, you will cry!!!!

2 MP... Good for out door shots only. The "added features " are No Zoom in, No Video and Poor motion Image quality. What a smart phone without Video Recording!!!!!!!

5) Keyboard

Are you the one who usually relay on SMSing, who types SMS on the move......then forget it.


6) No Edit Option

An Internet enabled Multimedia set, if doesnt have any provision to copy-paste a URL or Paragraph or Images then its totally a waste.


7) No Battery replacement

You cannot replace the battery. If you want to replace, pay for a new phone!!!!!!!


8) No FM Radio.

Nowadays, a phone worth 2000/- comes with buitin FM radio. But alas Iphone doesnt have one.


9) No SMS forwarding

You cannot forward any SMS. You cannot even send Buisness cards through SMS, Bluetooth or even mail, as in other phones. It has no MMS either.


10) Ringtones, Think again!!!!

New ringtones can be added only using the musicyou purchase throughthe iTunes.


11) You need another Pen drive to carry your documents

You cant open office documents or PDFs on an iPhone. You cant even store such things!!!!


12) No provision for Third Party applications.

Do you need to use some Third Party softwares as in Symbian Mobiles....Then forget it!!!!!



Viewing its Physical Appearance, hmmm...must say...its sexy.......are you going to spend 25000/-?????, rethink twice....because


"All that Glitters is not gold" and so " Look Before you Leap"!!!!!!!!!!!!
