I've heard rumors of why the iPhone sucks, and i'm here to disprove them.

rumor 1:
"OMFG, IT'S 35 BUCKS A MONTH TO USE THE DAMN THING! PLUS MINUTES AND TEXTING!!"

False, get an UNLOCKED iPhone, and go to T-mobile. You can get internet also with t-mobile, with the T-zone hack, which enables e-mail/internet for 5.99 ontop of what your monthly bill is.

rumor 2:
"OMFG YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR RINGTONES!"

False, yet again, I have a ringtone creator app, just by jailbreaking it.

rumor 3:
"OMFG THERES NO VIBRATION FEEDBACK HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I'M TYPING!"

False, for the third time, I have a vibration app, everytime I type/dial a number, it vibrates a bit.

rumor 4:
"THERES NO VIDEO RECORDING!!"

There actually is, once again, through an application via jailbreaking.

rumor 5:
"YOU CANT ONE TOUCH DELETE ALL SMS!!!"

I can, again, it's an app.

Just to disprove why people think the iPhone sucks.

But if someone jailbreaks it wrong then it could fuck up the whole phone plus you can't updates. Without it jailbroken it really does suck, paying for all those apps and what not, for things that come on the most basic phones. It may sound crazy but I just traded mine in for a samsung eternity today. I like it a lot better

Uh... but the LG Viewty comes natively with vibrate feedback, you can transfer your own songs across to use as ringtones, mine only costs $30/month for $150 of calls/texts, it has video recording, and it's only 4 touches to delete all messages.

All of this without needing to install a single app.

....if you fuck up your phone by failing at unlocking it.....then this is disproved

It doesnt fuck up, you can install apps onto it. It's FLEXIBLE!!!

MMS, and you have you to review it based on the stock phone, because thats what a majority of users will use.  

 And no, you dont have MMS, which is just unacceptable.


 
Yes, I do have MMS. It's an app through cydia.

 
and for people saying fuck it up, don't be retarded, watch what you download, or pay 20 bucks to have it done professionally.


Ah,  I didnt realize they had an MMS app.

But still, quit being such a retarded fanboy. The phone still fails. Unless a company is willing to Open Source their device, they dont deserve other people doing the work for them.

Without all the jailbreak users (who Apple hates, mind you) the iPhone would be nothing more than a sad memory twenty years from now.

So it does suck...out of the box.

Just like every Nokia.

Phones with firmware that can be modded, always suck out of the box. That's why they allow us to mod them.

see, you're basically saying "Hey, Ill tell you something: these people are just pulling things out of their ass, and stating it as if its fact".

When in reality, for all we know, you're doing that very thing.

You've disproven nothing. Now, that's not to say I dont believe (parts) of what you're saying, but saying something =/= disproving something . In order to disprove something, you need evidence.

I had a voyager before, holy shit it's not even a comparison.

Yes, because I feel like installing a thousand apps, jailbreaking, and unlocking.
maceyface Posted at 9:16 pm on Oct. 24, 2008
sounds like a lot of work.

iPhone is shit!

Sounds like a lot of extra shit to download just to use a damn phone.
