just because I need to vent somewhere inappropriate
good weekend? Whatever. I want to rant about something. The iphone.

Load of shit. Cant believe how long I've put up with it.

My wonderful iphone deleted 1 months of email on Friday from my online account. Taken all weekend to sort it out. Fucking piece of shit. Turns out, I'm not the only one, its known for it. Its a 'known issue'. Anyway, its going on ebay soon, theres still some mugs willing to pay tons for them so I can use that money to buy a proper phone. Probably one of the new android things, HTC ones. I had a play and they're not quite as pretty, but a million times more useful. The novelty has truly worn off. The prettiness counts for shit when its a piece of shit under the surface. I dont use it for anything interesting, its like a toy, it just does such limited things and i endlessly, never stop thinking, "wouldnt it be nice if it just did this..." but it never does. I went on 2nd page of icons the other day and I would say i havent been off the main page for over a year, theres just nothing on there that I really use. Its an cunts phone. I feel like dirt, like shit for having wasted money on it.

The email thing is last straw. That and maybe somethings have stopped working because I havent updated the firmware in about a year. Why the fuck should i have to do that, connect it to a computer to fix all the stuff that worked just fine the other day. It truly is a crock of shit. Fucking apple suck cock. They're like scientologists only worse. Money grabbing whore fucking fuckers who cant make anything that doesnt fit into their tiny little view. I cannot express really my true feelings, I am probably going to lie down for bit. Its also a con isnt it, every single thing is designed to make you spend money on their endless shit apps. They've never had a penny out of me since the original purchase, not one and thats my own little rebellion. I've decided that I will never ever buy an apple product again. The ipod is now obsolete - I got a spotify premium account, and I havent listened to mp3's in months now. Apple are OFFICIALLY DEAD AND OBSOLETE.

Next weeks piss easy target, the monumental crock of shit that is the ipad. Oh my god they're having a laugh. And its not even out. I am going to derive quite a lot of pleasure out of that when it fails.

(no its not going to revolutionise ebooks or the print industry. Its like trying to read LIGHT)

Dear Mr I have run out of coke
I am very sorry for sounding like a smug twat. If it's any consolation, the picture on my phone is not of a loved one, but a neighbours cat.

Yes, do you? Do you really love it?
Do you want to love it and hug it and cradle it in your arms and call it George regardless of gender?

Most phones these days have Apps, games, music players and internet access
I don't know why people think the iPhone is so special. It has a shit camera for 1 thing

Bollocks
it has a camera which is just as good as every other mobile phone out there i.e. perfectly adequate for taking photos of your mates in the pub where the light is reasonable.

No phone will ever have a camera that comes remotely close to any reasonable compact camera, but people always seem to use "but it's got a shit camera" as a stick to beat the iphone. And it's a fucking shit argument, there are many reasons why apple products are bad, not least being locked into certain types of software and being unable to customise it without a reasonable knowledge of how to crack things, some of which may leave you without a warranty. But to single out the camera as a reason not to get an iphone is just pathetically lazy.

Ok
well then there is my intense dislike for all touch screen phones as they are almost impossible to text on fast as you can't slide your thumbs over the buttons. Then you send garbled messages when you try to text while drunk on a touch screen, and I drink quite often so this is not good. I find them infuriating because they're never as responsive as you want and have a habit of selecting the wrong thing.

So it's your inability to use technology while inebriated that makes it the phone's fault then.

Nah', some phones have whicked cameras, the Nokia and Sony-Erricsons ones are very good.
It's not about the race for MegaPixals, it's getting a decent CCD/Lens.

why buy something unnecesary and then complain about it?
I have a 3-4 year old sony ericsson phone that makes calls and sends and receives text messages. it works perfectly well. I've got an ipod shuffle which fulfills all my on-the-go music needs.

this stuff cost fuck all and works fine.

why does everyone feel the need for having a phone that can do loads of shit? it's as bad as having a fucking filofax you bunch of wannabe-yuppie cunts

Hahaha, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Every phone, esspeically smart phones, have software/firmware upgrades, it's a good thing, because as security flaws become known, they fix them. You can't plug all the bugs because the product will never reach the market.

As an MP3/Video/Games portable device, there is nothing else in that size that compaires to the iPhone.

For Emails/Contacts/Calender, it's the best thing out on the market, esspeicaly when sync'd to Google. It's fast and easy to use.

It's got the biggest App Store out there, and the signal-to-noise ratio is quite good too, as it's all ranked. They've essenchally created an entire market where one didn't exist before.

There are only three things that lack on that phone, the Camera, the Lock Screen and Flash Support (which a lot of Android devices don't have). Aside that, I'd say it's the best portable-device/phone I've ever used. It pisses all over Blackberry, completely, and the only good Android devices, for most people, are the HTC Sense onces. The HTC Desire looks good, and porting that firmware over to the Nexus One is quite good, as it provides flash support.

But saying that, if Palm brought out some decent hardware and SDKs, I think WebOS would win the day completely. And Windows Mobile 7 Series looks awesome, but is still a long way off.
