These are basic features which one would expect any modern "smartphone" to provide. I'm very surprised indeed to find that Apple would omit them. The lack of MMS messaging in particular is utterly inexplicable - that's something that even the cheapest European handset generally provides.
I just don't "get it" with Apple. They make a great product like the iPhone, and then miss out some really basic features which all their rivals provide. Perhaps they should concentrate more on the basic functionality and less on the "sexiness"? |
I read an article about the lack of stereo bluetooth. Apparently, Apple wants to make it impossible to create non-Apple licensed bluetooth accessories or to transfer music files from one iPhone to another. It was something like that anyway .... I sort of blew through the article because I have no interest in purchasing an iPhone.
