say that it has fallen horribly short of my expectations.
The whole "twice the speed" crap is a straight up lie. I have been
getting better results from the edge network by far, even for simple
tasks like refreshing my email inbox. It could be the fact that I live
in one of the busiest cities in the world, which no doubt puts a
strain on the network, but if your products main feature is speed and
you advertise it as such, then I say you'd best come with the speed or
not come at all.
And then there's the gps, which is actually a really cool feature...
when you actually get a signal, that is. If you're under any
structure, such as, oh, I don't know, say... A CAR ROOF OR SOMETHING,
you can pretty much forget finding your location. Additionally, I
think it works together with the Internet, which as I've
already mentioned is pretty spotty. Even as a telephone it sucks. I have trouble receiving my text messages, and hearing someone in that terrible earpiece is damn near impossible.
And then there's the battery life. The iPhone battery life is actually quite good if
you don't actually ever use it. But if you plan on playing with the
iPod or apps or even actually use it as a telephone, you better be
prepared to have a charger at home, at the office, in the car or
anywhere else you might possibly take this thing because that little
battery icon in the top right corner goes from green to red faster than the signals when Jimi Hendrix is stuck in crosstown traffic (completely irrelevant music reference).
So is there anything good about it? Well, it looks nice.
All I'm saying is that the next generation better come with video chat, broadband speed Internet and a free blowjob because this bullshit was not worth the five hour wait in line.
