Why don't I believe a word of what you just posted... not one word?
Just so that we are clear, the iPhone NEVER even had 20% of the total smartphone market and now its share is falling again.
Smartphone market share as of October 2009,
iPhone market share 30% and rising.
So you're wrong, right from the start.
What you post for the rest of your rant is a repeat of the talking points from every FUD article about the iPhone...
1. Worst camera EVER!! For a $600 phone, the iPhone 3Gs has a crappy 3 MP camera with no flash. Every competing device, even at half the price has 5 MP
The iPhone 3Gs is not a $600 phone for the consumer... It is a $199 phone for the consumer. Every competing device does not have a 5MP camera and many do not have video. Most have only plastic lenses, not optical glass which the iPhone has.
2. No changeable battery! This is a DEAL killer for business travelers. Understand this, the iPhone is a MOBILE computer first and then a phone. If so, then you suck up the battery a lot using it for email or browsing. But, if you are traveling and do not have access to a power port (almost all foriegn airlines/airports) then you are out of luck. Because Lord Jobs has decreed from the Apple Heavens that a battery slot is “not sexy”
There are numerous secondary market external battery systems for the iPhone that add extra charge times. They are reasonably priced for such road warriors. I have used an iPhone on the road and have not found a need for an extra battery. I charge it every night... and carry a car charger. I have had other smartphones... and didn't carry an extra battery for them either.
3. No haptic feedback. Since Lord Jobs has banned keyboards it would have been nice to have Haptic feedback on the screen. But no, it is not so
I haven't had a problem using the virtual keyboard... haptic feedback isn't necessary on the iPhone because it works when you RELEASE the virtual key... not when you press it... and haptic feedback would not work well with that set up. This difference tells me you really don't use an iPhone.
6. Slow as Molasses. Ever tried to use your iPhone when it is downloading emails. About dead as a donkey. No surprise cause it has an old and slow processor. All the new phones have the 1 Ghz mobile processor
Why, yes, I have... and I don't even notice it downloading email. Again, another sign you don't use an iPhone. You are lying. Very few of the competition have 1GHz processors, only the Nexus One does, as far as I know. AT&T's 3G speeds are clocked faster than any of the other carrier's 3G speeds for downloads.
7. No multithreading. Talking about sloooooooow, there is no multi-tasking on this “computer”, something my Windows 3.1 PC had. So, now you can only run one app at a time. God forbid if you have to switch between apps.
Another lie. The iPhone multitasks native applications such as the mail (again showing you don't know what you're talking about, downloading of IM messages, iTunes playing, loading of webpages, etc., and other built in Apple apps. What it does not allow is third party multitasking and multithreading because of energy management considerations.... and switching between apps is almost instantaneous and fast enough to be useful for cut and paste work on line.
8. No built in IM tool. There is NO instant messenger built in. Imagine that! In today's day and age where literally entire distributed companies live on IM, Apple discourages it as “it takes up battery time”. So you have to use sucky third party apps
ABSOLUTE PROOF YOU ARE A LIAR ABOUT USING AN IPHONE! The iPhone has had built in Instant messaging since day one and has had SMS since the release of the 3Gs.
