iPhone - The missing features list
Thursday, August 28, 2008 0:38
IPhone, one of the hottest selling gadgets in market have some very important “features missing” which can turn out to be a blow to people who purchase it without knowing “the missing part”.
Some of the missing features are -
1. Blutooth restrictions - Bluetooth facility in iPhone can only be used with another iPhone. As a result of which no file can be transferred between an iPhone and other company handset through bluetooth, which is one of the biggest disadvantages.
2. No SMS-Forwarding - Messages cannot be forwarded to other people. This means that first you need to edit the message and then you would be able to forward it.
3. No-Multiple messaging - This is another drop-down from iPhone. Users cannot only forward message, but they also can’t send the message to multiple recipients at one go.
4. SIM contact read error - iPhone can’t even read contacts from the SIM. If you are looking forward to switch from another handset to iPhone and are expecting to copy the contact list on SIM and then use it in iPhone then this is a big “no no” to you.
5. Song can’t be used as Ringtone - If you have downloaded or copied any song to your iPhone then you cannot use it as your Ringtone. Another big “drop-down” from iPhone.
6. No-upgrade - While purchasing a iPhone you need to make sure that which model you should buy. The reason for this is that you would be stuck with that memory capacity till the time you use the phone as phone comes with in-built memory and does not have any memory upgrade feature. So you can’t use any external memory to increase the memory capacity.
These are some missing features which came to my knowledge and as per according to my personal opinion, i think that these 6 “missing features” will surely make a big difference for iPhone owners as these are some of the most used features in a mobile handset.

I never knew that such a great phone lacks such important features. I don’t think that apple would be able to sell any good number of handsets one these missing features list is published in newspapers.
I am surely not going to buy this great incomplete handset right now till the company make it complete.

I always that that Apple iPhone is a complete phone and it has all the features any person could ever think of but i think it was wrong. I don’t think that Apple iPhone have all the features after reading this post. I think it has some one of the most important features missing in it.
I hope Apple do something about it.

These are some most important features. I don’t think that it makes any sense purchasing any handset which does not have these kind of features. These are some of the most frequently used features in a handset and must for Indian market.

My friend just got his iPhone yesterday. He spent 36840/- for getting this beauty. He is really happy right now for getting this great mobile phone but i think after he reads this post, all his happiness is going to turn into sorrow.

A mobile phone without these kind of features is just incomplete. I am not going to purchase iphone till it does not have all the of the above mentioned missing features. It will be good to purchase any other handset rather then iPhone right now.

I don’t think that memory upgrade is going to make that much of a difference as Apple iPhone already offers 8 GB and 16 GB of storage which should be enough for any kind of stuff. The only problem i see is that it should have message forwarding option which is must.

Bluetooth restrictions?
This is really bad thing. I don’t think that everyone is going to have a iPhone in near future cause its expensive right now and if it is restricted to share only between iPhones then it will be a problem for everyone.
