Comments on: Another Reason Apple iPhone Will Suck—For Filipinos

I guess the iPhone was built around the American culture of doing things. I don’t think Americans are used to sending long SMS messages (Something we Pinoys can be very proud of!), and simply call people if they want their messages to be sent.

There’s the hype, I admit I was infected, but then again, the iPhone does deliver. If we’re looking at a 3G functionality, lets face it, we aren’t pretty much a 3G nation (Yet! There’s hope!), so a 2G iPhone would be cool enough.

Besides, Steve Jobs is already said that they are releasing a 3G iPhone. Yay! My saving period is extended!

UM….

It may just be one line visually, but you can type in a crap load of text. The iphone doesn’t suck. YOu have no idea what you’re talking about.

The coolest thing about it, is the conversation is threaded. No more having to look up the last message you sent somebody because you have no idea what they are talking about.

The ONLY flaw is that you cannot send multi media text messages.

there is nothing new about this phone. it jsut has a nice design and a nice interface but with it’s tech specs, it can’t even match up to my n95.

2 mega pixel for cam vs 5 megapixels
no 3G vs 3.5

this alone should be enough to convince you that while the phone could be very cool to have, you won’t be satisfied with it since you can’t use it around the globe. (e.g in europe, 3G keeps on evolving) This phone needs an upgrade.

a nice phone but still primitive.

thank God i read this! i’ve been like so excited about having one (since i thought i can have it by next month, but it isnt coming yet). and now, im having second thoughts.. i really thought it could be the “perfect” phone.. i mean, cellphone and iPod in one gadget? heck yeah! BUT since it doesnt quite have a good enough SMS feature (even if i think i can save my credit.. lol), then i’ll have to think about it.. hehe
kudos!

Well it’s good to know that the text field does in fact expand, as the movie shows. Because that would’ve really bugged me. My first brick phone did that!
Like everyone else, I love what I’ve seen of iPhone so far, and want to buy one myself. The only thing that bothers me about it is the SMS app.

Firstly, I’m not too sure about the QWERTY ‘keypad’. Maybe I’ll be happy after a short adjustment period, but at this point I only want to use qwerty on my iBook! If the phone will be hackable, maybe users who don’t like the QWERTY keypad can create an app that has the good ol’ phone keypad. That would be the only advantage of a touch screen keypad – the fact that you could change it to anything you wanted.

I’m also not too keen on the predictive text being so smart – the whole correcting mistakes feature reminds me of the later releases of ms word. Word frustrates me when it auto corrects my typing – sometimes I don’t want it to be corrected! I wonder how the phone will cope with text speak…

Yes, it lacks 3G. It might not matter in the states, but here it will be a big issue.

The thing with Apple is that aside from making sure their products look really slick, they’ve also made sure it’s easy to use. This might not be as recognizable to expert techies like you, Mai, but n00bs are thankful for that, and the fanboys will say “that’s how it’s supposed to work” (e.g. MacOS vs Windows).

Say goodbye to speed texting XD You think it’s possible to attach an embossed transparent sticker on the LCD to facilitate touch-texting? XD

SMS over phone connected to a computer via Bluetooth/IR – is there anything new about this? Uh… This is old, really.
