About Iphone

1.Terrible Battery life

The iPhone 3G’s life is pretty meager, lasting only about 200 minutes when web browsing with 3-G, according to testing by AnandTech. To save battery life, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when they’re not in use, calibrate the battery in its first week, carry around extra chargers and be conservative with surfing on 3-G.

2. No Bluetooth Data Transfer
You can’t transfer files over Bluetooth with iPhone. Lame.

3. No Full Outlook Sync Support
Though iPhone 3G syncs with your Outlook contacts and calendar events, it doesn’t sync notes or to-do lists.

4. No Cut-and-paste
No explanation necessary. (However, this may be implemented soon).

5. Camera Needs Pimping
The iPhone sports a crappy 2-megapixel camera. The least it could include is a flash.

6. No Packaged Data Download Manager
This isn’t applicable to U.S. iPhone owners, but in Australia, Aranez was required to purchase an additional, limited data package. He wishes there were a download manager to tell him how much he was downloading.

7. No Voice Dialing
Nope — as high-tech as iPhone is, there’s still no voice dialing (although it could be coming soon).

8. No Front-face Camera
This would be useful for video conferencing (although this would probably make the battery life even worse.)

9. Lack of Handwriting Recognition
If the iPhone is controlled with a touch screen, why not include handwriting recognition? (It’s available for Chinese, so maybe an English version will come eventually? )

10. No Turn-by-turn GPS Software
IPhone 3G’s GPS is a 2D map that spits out textual directions; it isn’t true turn-to-turn navigation like most GPS devices today. (Although this may be changed soon ).

And here are Gadget Lab’s additions to the list:

1. Still Can’t Type Horizontally for Non-web Apps
You still can’t type in landscape mode in applications other than Safari. At least incorporate that into e-mail and text messaging…

2. No Multimedia Text Messaging
One of the oddest omissions on a device as sophisticated as iPhone. Seriously, what gives?

3. IPhone 2.0 Is Buggy as Hell
Out of all the bugs, the most annoying is general lagginess when doing a lot of things — like writing a text message or loading the App Store. Argh.

And the rest of our list would overlap with the complaints about meager battery life and lack of copying and pasting/voice dialing.
