9 things i hate about my iPhone

These are the 10 9 most irritating things about my iPhone that stop at 'quite good' where it could have been truly great.

1 - Battery Life : shocking.
2 - Its expensive. Very very expensive.
3 - It can't bluetooth photos to non-iPhones. Basic stuff, and it can't even do that.
4 - You can't use your own sound files for ring tones. You have to buy them
5 - You can't copy files, such as pdfs, to it for offline reading. That's rubbish!!
5 - The calendar can't repeat on useful intervals such as 'last working day of month' or 'first tuesday in month'. Basic, basic, *basic* functionality that it can't even do.
6 - The pin number screen-lock is so irritating. If I want my data secure, I have to keep unlocking it all the time, even with the least annoying unlock option. Its so annoying when you are in a hurry.
7 - Touch sensitive keypad and predictive text frequently cause typos. The more of a hurry you are in, the worse it gets since it is so over-sensitive to mis-keying (or not adding the letter even when you hit a button with your finger).
8 - You can't write your own software for it unless you have a mac. Why should that be? Its not even running OSX !
9 - The sim card slot is like a chinese maths puzzle.


And that ladies and gentlemen, is why I think Apple are such smug bastards.

I'm now glad I spent all my money on Lowenbrau and can't afford one
