my friend asked me to unlock his iphone today. this gave me the chance to fll test the device out.
after unlocking (wich is very easy) i started some test:
1) transfering: everything has to be transfered trough Itunes. the Iphone shows up in windows explorer as "read only"
2) sound quality was poor with the original earphones, they started to make craking noises with a volume over 80%. so i wanted to pop in my sony's. guess what? the design of the housing is so crap that normal "L" shaped plugs wont fit!!! i mean common what a rip off!!!. playing music trough the speaker was horrible to the same cracking noises but now allready at 60%!!! apple what the fuck are you doing?
3) the camera... now this is the best part! there is only 1!!! function: "take a pic" wtf?? no zooming!, no flash, no extra like frames, (auto)focus and stuff... could it be more budget??? i mean the cheapest camera phone has a zoom why the Iphone not?? big FAIL. oh yeah the image quality was crap to (2mp camera) viewing pictures was boring to. slideshow was the only special feature
4) the keyboard. features a full on screen qwerty keyboard. but it's to fucking small!!! even for me i have the same fingers as an anorexious girl for god sake. you have to type really slow to avoid mistakes.
5)internet. well couldn't test this because the damn piece of crap didn't want to connect to my wep secure modem. i mean it was WEP. every fucking device supports wep!
all the other poor apps on it can be find on any cheap phone. text, calculator, google maps, youtube. etc etc.
my conclusion: give low end mp3 player the ability to make phone calls and you don't need an Iphone. really i am not a mac fan altough i enjoy using my 30gb ipod. but as for the Iphone i really expected more from apple...
thnx for reading :D
