Contact Management on the iPhone is an absolute fail. And for anyone to think that it’s at an acceptable level for business probably means that their only business is playing games.

Oh well, the iPhone has it now, and it can cut and paste things like HTML to copy a part of a webpage in an email. A lot of “cut and paste” pioneers can’t do it.

see ? we are at the same level.
in the meanwhile, ppl using other brands are less happy with their phones.
but apparently, it’s better to be frustrated with a phone, and so the other brands should score better at SATISFACTION polls.

why ? because haters said so.

Well put.

Secondly, I have to ask, have you ever read a TECHNICAL review/comparison of the device? I’ve read a lot of good reviews that throw around decidedly nontechnical terms like great, amazing, breathtaking, groundbreaking, easy to use, revolutionary, polish, lickable design, lightyears ahead, market dominating, gorgeous, cool and sexy, but I have yet to see a single review that says something like “better email experience than a BlackBerry,” “More versatile than a WinMo device,” “better multi-tasking environment than Android,” or “better call quality than Nokia.” Outside of breathless lies about how it is the best selling smartphone in the world (it isn’t, that would be the BlackBerry Curve at the moment), or how it is dominating the market (it isn’t, that would once again be RIM), or how it is the fastest selling phone ever (it isn’t. RIM outsells it, and iPhone numbers aren’t even close to the numbers of popular featurephones), all I hear are a lot of subjective claims about how the reviewer likes it, despite it’s flaws, and how cool Apple is.

In fact, with the third generation of the phone, it is just now starting to catch up to the rest of the smartphone market TECHNICALLY. Finally has cut and paste, finally has MMS, finally has ActiveSync push support, might have tethering at some point in the future, is finally getting professional turn by turn navigation, almost can multi-task if you really skew your definition of multi-tasking and finally has a camera that can take a picture that doesn’t look like it was shot from the bottom of a Vaseline jar. The email client and calendar are still unforgivably weak, it still has reliability and reception issues, and security is still questionable, but it is at least starting to fill out the technical specs that would qualify it to be a smartphone, not a featurephone. Not exactly as breathtaking when you remove it of the branding hype, and breathless hyperbole.

What it does it does well, but there is a lot it doesn’t do (multitasking, profiles, decent email, video calling, etc etc)…

Stand-alone internal GPS is different than aGPS. aGPS won’t work when there is no operator signal or if you don’t use data plan. If aGPS was better than stand-alone, then Tom-Tom would not develop the i-phone kit and Apple would not have partnered with Tom-Tom. You also have to pay Extra 100 bucks for the kit and also for the app. This kind of features exist in many other high end smartphones from Nokia, HTC, etc in-built and cheaper than iphone.

Looking at your comment, my another conclusion seems correct that iphone users have lower expectations from Apple and hence higher satisfaction which is the other way around for other biggies like Nokia, etc.

Use you brain (intelligence) and not your bias (apple fanboy)

LOL…You try trading the S&P futures market with a apple product. You will realize how dumb you are reeeeaaaaal quick. Its all about speed and execution and an apple product will not cut it. It takes a little intelligence to know what computer to buy to secure your future (investing/retirement). You wont risk your future because of you macbook pro is slow will you?

As a corporate platform it ain’t no RIM.

You just don’t understand what “satisfaction” means : it’s a feeling. You just can’t stand that Apple customers are happy with what they bought so you try to find objections to that feeling.

Ppl like you are called haters.

I think I’ll avoid my inbox for the new few hours….I know all my Apple dunce friends are getting ready to send this to me.

Oh come on.

You’re welcome.

Let me guess… EVERY independent review that exists on the entire Internet is paid behind the scenes by Apple, right?

aGPS IS internal GPS. Not only that, but it’s actually better than GPS, because that little “a” stands for “assisted” which means it can use both GPS and cellular triangulation together for a quicker fix on location.
