iPhone too simplistic?
Well as with all new things the honeymoon period is over...Now the reality of what the capabilities and limitations are.
No Copy and Paste, yes I am still ranting about it. I remember back to when I had the SMT5600 and I returned it due to the fatal flaw of the Windows SmartPhone operating system. So far I don't think I am there yet, I still have a few weeks to bail out. My primary use case it that I like browsing to a web site, highlight a few paragraphs and send it to someone. Now I have to send the link and explain where in the page the information is located. Very annoying. Same with email, notepad SMS etc...
I seem to be having some issues with IMAP, Although I have send and receive working, it seems that when I delete an item on the iPhone it doesn't delete on my mailbox. Maybe this is by design or just some configuration error on my part. The interesting thing is that if restore the deleted item from the trash on the iPhone, I will have two copies in my Inbox on the server...Very uncool. So in the interim I won't delete anything on my iPhone I will just use OWA.
The calculator, what gives no percent? Even the basic calculator in windows has a percent function.
Safari based applications. Are you kidding. I didn't think much of it when it was first announced but now that I am wanting more functionality I have to make do with these widgets. First of all why would I trust any internet based app with my information, maybe my grocery list but not with my login information or anything else. And second of all, how come I can't link any of these things to the home page of the device. Apple has got to continue the momentum and get the development community behind the iPhone.
Finally in my rant is the lack of saving things locally on the device for retrieval later. So since EDGE is sooooo paaaainfully sloooow, I would like the ability to access content, lets say my train schedule (which is in PDF form) save it somewhere in the freespace I have and then retrieve it when I need it, not download it again. Also, I have a zillion PDFs and CHM files that I would also like to be able to read on the device.
One other thing, I had mentioned before that the mic on the included headphones has a switch, well it doesn't mute phone calls as I initially expected, it will only allow you to answer and hang up the phone.
Oh, I almost forgot a good one, the iPhone DOESN'T let you manually manage you music library. It is an all or nothing deal.
