Comments on: Why I would use an iPhone http://www.mobileafrica.net/2623.htm Sharing the African mobile experience since 2004 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:42:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Fee http://www.mobileafrica.net/2623.htm#comment-122322 Fee Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:39:44 +0000 http://www.mobileafrica.net/?p=2623#comment-122322 The unlocked iPhone reports are true. Here in Cameroon, I was fortunate enough to have a friend lend me his jail broken iPhone. After connecting it to iTunes, the phone became very buggy. Charging to at most 100%. Oh but the apps were great. Could even run python on the phone. The unlocked iPhone reports are true. Here in Cameroon, I was fortunate enough to have a friend lend me his jail broken iPhone.

Checking email anywhere 2. Tweetdeck for Twitter In fact, I am typing this comment on my iPhone after following a Twitter link. Sweetness. Yet when in Ghana I rolled with a N95 because it has a better camera and there was too much going on in real life to bother with emails or Twitter I love my iPhone for two reasons:

1. Checking email anywhere
2. Tweetdeck for Twitter

The closed/proprietary/big brotherish attitudes of Apple 2. The iPhone battery cannot be removed- if it gets bad you have to take it to an Apple store 3. Copy, cut and pase was only recently introduced in the iPhone 3GS 4. No MMS support 5. Lacks multitasking 6. Applications must be downloaded via the App Store unless you are ready to Jailbreak your phone and risk 'bricking' it 7. There have been issues of iPhone batteries hissing/overheating 8. You have to sign a contratct with your provider to own it 9. It doesnt come (and doesnt work) with a stylus unless you want to buy a specialised stylus that can work with the screen 10. Many applications in the so called App store are repetitions and many are useless, e.g. iFart To Apple Fanboys Apple is a Religion and to speak against it is Blasphemy, lol.....
