The web browser is grounded firmly in the last century, and the map feature is useless unless you already know where you are, where you're going, and how to get there.

Some years ago Nokia have a problem with some pirate batteries exploding away, since these days you can identify batteries as true on the nokia website. I think apple use the cheapset batteries on the true-high-technology iphone.

Well, you can stop right now with the FUD! The battery life on the iPhone is it's weakest point, but it's no worse than any device that combines the functions of a Phone, iPod, Portable Games Console, Media Player and PDA...

I hate to knock my iPhone again, but I get amazing battery life out if my Nintendo DSi. The iPhone doesn't even last a day on standby....

I was in Slovakia earlier this year, not wishing to pay Data roaming charges I switched the Data connection off on my iPhone... Using it as a normal phone, media player and game console I got 3 days out of it. I had forgotten my charger so that was lucky!

But you will find it is the data connection that sucks the power!

If you turning off 3G in any phone battery life is better not only on the iphone.

@bloodline

Sorry if you dont like this but i only read/hear too many good things about iphone from apple fanboys and this is not the reality. I talk about iphone like a pda + phone, no games console or something. Just talking about phones dont take ir serious.

I would be happy to discuss the matter with you, but you've never used an iPhone... So there is little you can say on the topic. Just as I can't talk about the Palm Pre, since I have never used one, for example.

Yes i dont have iphone... but for talking about battery issues dont need to own iphone, this issues are public, maybe your sentence at your sign is wrong, theres so much people not using and not interested on iphone.

My sig is a joke.

Anyway, I have not once claimed the iPhone battery is any special... It really isn't. But it is no worse than any other device.

I don't have an iPhone I have a business supplied BB. But I have used an iPhone and have a friend who has one.  I also have access to internal IT business forums where a lot of early iPhone adopters have found cost and security(loss of desirable devices) to be the major issues.
Some people even blame the economic downturn on the cost of the iPhone for businesses. A joke, to be sure.

IMO whatever way you look at it iPhone = higher cost and risk for a business where as BB = covers both those business critical controls.

iPhone = cool, doesnt rate when it comes to a business objective. The security, relability and accessability of the key communications functionality are the core KPIs for any business pda/convergence device.
BTW: The trackball on the BB fails the last two requirements.  You've really gotta keep your thum clean..

I would be keen to know the data you used to draw this conclusion... OS1 of the iPhone did lack security and connectivity, but then it was a consumer OS, the first iPhone was not for business...

But we are now on OS3.1, which has an encrypted file system, access rights, controls, full exchange support with Push and remote wipe/lock down...

You can argue the iPhone is more expensive, of course it is more expensive than some aged BB... but security and connectivity are well supported features of the current iPhone.

Yes, they forget all ppc users using osx too but if m$ make it is bad, if apple make it is "different", i dont understand its the same, no?

Apple haven't sold PPC computers for over 3 years now... The iPhone never existed at the time when they did sell them.

M$ have a whole lot more than just "forcing developers to use a specific platform" to answer for.

Apple are not the greatest company in the world, but they create products that work and perform very well. And probably most amazing of all, Apple have somehow managed to survive in a world with M$... Think of all the other 80's computer companies that didn't....

But,, (with baiting smile) The iPhone battery "just" lasts a day of good usage and the phone has that "You need to make an important call so I will freeze now" chip in it.

Cheers

That's not a bug!!! That's a feature, you pay extra for that, whether you want it or not

[bloodline]

I warn you that push support doesn't work properly when the phone is jailbroken... And push support is vital since background tasks aren't allowed

[bloodline]

Multitasking?  There's an app for that!

Hahaha, I forgot that you can multitask if you jail break it
