iPhone Gripes

by Ron on April 2, 2008

After playing with an iPhone for a few weeks, here are a few of my biggest gripes:

  • Shorter battery life than my Blackberry
  • Slower email composition (more steps)
  • No keyboard shortcuts
  • No consolidated Inbox
  • Ergonomics: isn’t as comfortable in my hand
  • No visual indicator for waiting email/voicemail without checking screen
  • No voice dialing
  • No chat

Check this out for voice dialing, a cousin had it at a wedding we went to in Oct. It seemed to work better than the built in one I have in my phone.

Did a quick search and found this for chat as well:

The problem with iPhone chat apps is they only run in the foreground. Chat on the BB will run in the background and vibrate when I get a msg.
