Remember the entry about iPhone I wrote earlier last month?
iPhone is Next-Gen? You got to be kidding me!

Seems like I got a pretty cool reply!

Dude, the iPhone is coming out on the 22nd of August. SingTel has yet to release a price list.

@ Mr. Admin man

Sir, I have to tell you that YOU have failed to understand what the iPhone is really about. Apple has always been about simplicity. That is what the iPhone is as well. An intuitive phone that even a construction worker could use (no offence intended). That is how simple this phone was intended to be y Apple. However, due to the heavy price tag, this phone was not too readily available to the masses.

Next thing, the iPhone, being built for simplicity, DOES NOT require a secondary camera. Seriously, who the hell video calls? I am pretty sure as hell that I most certainly do not. It is a redundant feature that the Japanese suddenly thought up off.

Batteries, since when had ANY Apple product (besides MacBook and MacBook Pro) ever have swappable batteries? I am sure iPods don’t… like seriously, the don’t… yet they are the MOST POPULAR, BEST SELLING mp3 players in the industry!

So seriously, if you are such a Linux fan, I suggest you do not write such a biased opinion of the iPhone. You must have single handedly turned off like 200 potential buyers (who have never used an Apple product before) already.

He stumbles my brain on how he says that iPhone is good because even a construction worker can use (showing off his elitism), and forgetting that most construction workesr can’t afford an iPhone so it doesn’t even matter whether they can use or not:)

Simplicity is NOT equal to lacking of feature. I mean, no vibration mode, no sms forwarding, no video conferencing, no video recording, no zooming in when using the camera, no contact forwarding etc… these are SIMPLE things that iPhone don’t have!

The lack of swappable battery is good because such product sells? Yeah, the masses have to keep buying new iPods because lipo batteries generally last only about 500 recharges… after that you will be faced with 3 options, carry on using your iPod and recharge it every hour, spend USD99 to replace a battery, or spend USD199 to buy a new iPod. Of course people would keep buying new iPods! Bestseller!

Wow, since the commenter debunks my entries so uh-erm well and insists that I have mistaken, his subconscious brain must still be in serious agreement with what I wrote because he said that my powerful blog entry must have put 200 people off buying iPhone!

Update: Hm… seems like I made a mistake. iPhone does has vibration mode, but the vibration was so weak almost cannot feel it:)
