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. |
I heard that 2.01 actually significantly improves the responsiveness and typing..
true? If so, wow...i thought it was pretty good before!

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. |

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. |

Blackberry Pearl 8220 aka Kickstart aka Blackberry Flip Phone.
From $99.99 ($49.99 with student plan)
| quote: |
reliable source and friend of the site has just let us know the pricing and promotional details of the upcoming Rogers 8220 Pearl. To be pushed this September as a Back to School product, the device will be heavily advertised towards college and univeristy students across Canada.Retail Price: $599.99
3-Year Voice and Data Contract Price: $99.99
Special Promotional Price: $49.99
The special promotional price that Rogers is hoping to sell a lot of 8220s with requires the student sign up for the $45 Student Plan, $15 an up Email Plan, and $15 or $20 Value Pack.
The $45 Student Plan includes:
- 450 Weekday Minutes
- Unlimited Evenings and Weekends starting at 6pm
- MY5 Canada-Wide (Unlimited talk, SMS, and MMS to any five numbers in Canada)
- Unlimited Local Incoming Minutes
- $5 off Value Pack for duration of contract
As with the iPhone 3G, the outright purchase of the device may not be possible for the first month or so as Rogers tries to get as many people into new contracts as possible.
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? |

I wonder if the unlimited txts are included within North American or if it is just Canada cuz this deal along with the other 450 min plan is a WAY better deal then what Rogers is giving me. |

You did see how I said it was like that in the past...
It was just an example...
If I tried...I could probably come up with a dozen others we still put up with everyday....
But I'm not gonna try... |

I hope Pearl doesn't do well. BlackBerry makes business devices. I don't know many business people who are big on sharing mp3s and snapping random pics of their girlfriends.
If I had a company and was deciding between getting the BlackBerry Pearl for my employees or another BlackBerry device that has no camera and no mp3 player (and is thus probably cheaper), guess which one I'd choose. |

Solutions
1)Guest List/Comp Tickets + Drink Tickets
2)Buy a Car w/ Life Time Comp Oil Changes + Reg Warrenty (Honda)
3)They all have some type of restrictions, but not so extreme as Apple.
Have a nice day |
