iPhone 3G problems and drawbacks
Submitted byCellG eek on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 12:36pm

Well, it been less than 24 hours since the iPhone 3G was officially announced, and the let down still has left a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, it has 3G speed, and GPS... but that's pretty much it. All the other rumoured changes failed to materialize.

Here's whatdidn' t happen:
Price Cut - I know, I know... $199 for the 8GB. But as we documentedhere, once you factor in
the mandatory minute and data rates for AT&T, the least you end up paying for your iPhone is
$70 a month... that'sm or e expensive.
Better Camera - The camera on the original iPhone was a low end 2-Mega-Pixel camera. The
camera a year later? Still the exact same thing.
Video Chat - Since 3G speed can support it, every one was talking about how the 3G iPhone
was going to have a second front end camera for
video chat. And it still might
happen... next year.
Removable Battery - While the SIM ejector tool was a welcome change, the problem of an
unremovable battery was still... unremoved. You'll have to mail in your phone or go to an Apple
store to get it fixed.
MMS - No, I don't really care about sending picture messages to other phones... but the fact that
any $5 piece of junk mobile can and the super iPhone can't... it's just wierd.
Memory Card Slot - Okay, I understand how a 32GB phone might have been clunky, but why
not give the people who want it the option?
