Lot of talk is going about the iPhone everywhere. Whenever I meet a person and we start talking about cellphones, the person says ‘I am waiting for the iPhone’. People here in India have gone crazy about the iPhone. Most of them do not even know what the iPhone is all about but they want to buy it just because everyone else says it’s the best phone and of course the price is also low. I have seen videos of the iPhone on the Internet and read about in magazines. At the beginning I was also a bit crazy about it but after a few reviews online I decided that I am settling for my Nokia 95.
Here is what Shoemoney had to say about the iPhone:
I know I know… its the greatest thing ever… I do think it looks very cool and hip but functionality wise… which unfortunately using it for business purposes is my main thing… its not adding any value. Sure if I was a teenager and wanted to show off to all my friends would I buy it? ABSOLUTELY. Heck it can probably even get you laid.
Its actually quite a downgrade from my Treo with EVDO on sprint. The network speeds are like 10x slower. The mail client (which I use all the time) lacks TONS of functionality. The web browser looks really neat but with weak caching and super slow Cingular network speeds.
I think apple is really good at INNOVATING things but they have a pretty piss poor track record when it comes to improving on already existing services.
Even Matt Cutts got this phone but did not have much to say about it. Not sure if he wants to stay on the SEO topic. Of course, the iPhone looks good has all the goodie goodie features, but what about battery life? Camera? Voice quality? User friendliness? Internet speed (My Nokia N95 beats everyone there)? There are lot of other factors for a cell phone to claim that it’s the best. I would read a lot of cellphones reviews on this page rather than going for an iPhone. Anyways, for all my Indian readers…The phone is not coming to India before late 2008. I am sure Nokia comes up with something better before that.
