1. Make it Less Crashy The iPhone with 2.0 software feels a little� buggy. It'll randomly crash or slow down to the point of unusability until you restart every few days with normal use. That's not right; this is a cellphone. It shouldn't feel like an unstable computer. 2. Fix the Keyboard Lag A good chunk of the time, typing on the iPhone keyboard is made even more difficult due to the lag involved. Typing quickly means the letters pop up four keystrokes after you hit them. Make the keyboard move as fast as the user can type. 3. Fix Safari Orientation Switch Lag Sometimes, Safari takes its sweet, sweet time switching from portrait to landscape when you turn the phone. This should feel almost instantaneous, not something you have to wait for. 4. Make Backing Up Faster For some, "backing up" whenever you plug in your iPhone can take upwards of 30 minutes. What is it doing, exactly? The iPhone sync should be near-instantaneous when you plug it in if you aren't moving large files back and forth on purpose. 5. Make it More Efficient The 3G mode is a battery hog. You can turn off 3G completely, but if there was an option to only use 3G for certain programs, such as Safari and Maps, it would go a long way towards making this a phone you aren't afraid to unplug in the morning when you aren't planning on getting home until very late that night. 6. Video Recording This could easily be implemented, as we've seen from apps available for jailbroken phones. What's the holdup? 7. Wi-Fi Syncing We'd love to have our iPhone sync automatically when it hits our home Wi-Fi network, from app data to photos to music to contacts. 8. Leave App Icons in Place After an Update When apps update, their icon gets picked up and moved to the very bottom of your last screen. Why? When you updated four apps at once it then makes you awkwardly move them all back to where they were. Just leave them in place. 9. Make Moving Icons from Page to Page Easier Moving an icon from one page to another takes multiple tries and, unlike most things on the iPhone, feels awkward and user unfriendly. Make this less of a pain. 10. Copy & Paste Duh.

Originally posted by Chris Allen Oh come off it man. You're obviously anti-iPhone. I've at least showed in my banter that I can appreciate other phones (just ask Cale) even though I'm using the iPhone personally. Everything you say about it is slagging off on it. Is your precious Palm perfect? I think not. I appreciate your opinions but just slagging off on the iPhone for the sake of saying it's crap isn't effective at all.

You don't get it do you? Why are you so offended when someone moks the iPhone? Why do you take it so personal?

I like the hardware, the software and limitation of Apple really makes it so shameful, especially when they big it up so much. You have to use iTunes to do whatever to it and etc, what's the point of that? If Apple didn't big it up so much and over hyped it ... and put all the limitations on, then the story would be diff.

Yes, the Palm is perfect ... aslong as you know how to take care of it the PROPER way. It does everything I want and 1000x more. I can do whatever mods and hacks to it and I don;t have to follow any type of rules from some control freak. Everyone who has left Palm and went to another OS ... has came back and understand what they really had. (Yes, even the iPHONE) The only OS that crushes Palm is BlackBerry, PDA Wise. But, for now BlackBerry has no touch screen. Once the Nova OS comes out and if it's not upto par ... and the Blackberry has a touch screen, it's BlackBerry for me.

No ... I'm not anti-iphone at all, but i'm anti-APPLE from day one. F*CK Apple and everyone who follow them, your nothing but a "PET" to them.

Holy shit what a zinger

Now is it just me or does it seem that at least $70 a month is a lot for a post-secondary student to be paying for a cellphone bill to get the 8220 for $49.99?
