Apple iPhone
April 17th, 2009 
Apple iPhone 3G is the latest creation from the Apple itself. The look and design of the iPhone is sleek, modern, and cutting edge. The screen resolution and brilliant color displays are accurate, crisp and stunning in every mode. It also have very good quality sound. However, Apple iPhone 3G still isnt meant for the business oriented device….In fact, it is far from it..
First of all, it have HORRENDOUS battery life. For a such a phone that are supposed to be meant for business world, this problem shouldnt existed at the first place. Checking email, downloading, brief review all, making a call, respond to the incoming text back and forth for three text sessions and now you have 20%~30% battery remained after 2 hours. It is definitely unacceptable.
Let say you on the middle way on the road,at the airport, in the mall, or in the random street, etc..then what are you supposed to do once it run out of power? Of course you can prolong the battery life if you tone down the brightness, disable bluetooth, turn off wi-fi, limit your 3G usage and etc but hey, you are paying $200~300 for a bunch of feature and you need to manually turn it on/off all the time, so what is the point?
Secondly, the advanced and modern iPhone 3G actually dont have the basic feature such as to-do-list..Yeah, I bet you going to wonder what is the Apple was thinking for not putting the basic feature…Seriously, I have no idea. I know that some of the people who manage their life around the to-do-list and I guess it is a huge drawback for them when they got the iPhone 3G.
If you thought that isn’t a big deal for not having the basic feature for iPhone 3G, well, get ready to disappointed with another news…MMS (Multimedia messaging) is completely absent…not only that,The SMS “Text message” application is very inadequate and extremely limited compared to the capabilities of even low end phones. I guess it is explained all. Should I go further? I guess not.
Let talk about the Activesync, It seem that Activesync have a lot of limitations on syncing mails and contacts. It would pose a problem if you have multiple emails for home or works and need more flexibility. It kinda weird when you think of it, most of the low end cellphone usually allow the user to sync activesync with other wireless account at the same time and it work everything together nicely..so why cant the iPhone 3G ?
In other word, iPhone 3G isnt live up to the hype. It have missing so much functionality that I really don’t know that I should recommend you guys to have it. Maybe it for a personal user, it’s going to be great, but for actual business use, it falls short in many areas…especially the battery’s life and limited Bluetooth connectivity.
