iPhone not so great after all?

http://pleasefixtheiphone.com/

Found this website just now.. It’s a list of the iPhone users’ top gripes with their beloved device. As I quickly scanned down the list, I saw many things which my Nokia can do quite happily, yet which frustrate iPhone users on a daily basis.

#1 Copy and paste. The N95 can do copy/paste, no problem. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it can do it.

#2 Tilt to view emails in landscape. Once again, the N95 screen will go landscape in any application, even Email. An old firmware upgrade to the N95 8gb has enabled screen auto-rotation.

#3 Ability to view Flash content. That has again been added in a firmware upgrade of the N95 8gb’s firmware.

#4 Unwanted application icons can’t be hidden. I can just bury icons of applications I don’t use in a folder on the menu so they’re not in the way all the time.

#5 Can’t use the iPhone 3G Internet connection to browse on a Macbook. But the N95 lets me access the Internet on my Asus.

I could go on and on… Guess the iPhone isn’t so great after all.

    #261 “I want to be able to forward individual text messages.” Yup, the N95 does this too..

    #252 “I want to choose my text alert sounds. They should be as customizable as ring tones.” Haha, the iPhone can’t do that?! N95 can..

    #214 “Let me mark many people in my contacts or add entire groups when sending a text message to more than one person.” You can do this too on the N95.

    #336 “Let us download podcasts over 3G or wifi directly to the iPhone.” The podcast app on the N95 gets you to choose what connection to use, either Wifi or 3G..

    Do you want me to go on??

    @3D: E71 has the biggest battery in any phone on the market (1500mAh) and is awesome (I can go 24 hours of constant usage on some kind of radio network, be it bluetooth, wifi or 3G before needing to charge mine (often several with connections). It’s also Symbian S60 like the N95.
