reasons to avoid iPhone (heard in news. Not sure if they are correct.). 1) Costly (20K). No value for money. 2) Just 2MP camera. No front camera. Even N73(11-12k) has 3.2 MP cam and a front vga cam. 3) No video recording. 4) Bluetooth transfer only to the "i" devices from apple. Like, I have to buy an MacBook if I need to transfer data. 5) Due to reason 4, 16GB memory is useless. 6) Internal battery. I have to contact directly to apple to repair in any case. 7) Cant copy text from received emails.
Don't remember if there is anything more. Does these reasons seem better for a common man? :-) On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 10:07 PM, Raj <rajuramdas at gmail.com> wrote: > > > 1. iPhone completely blocks free software.
