Thread: People who OWN IPHONE and actually hate it...

When Cingular bought AT&T Wireless back in 2004, it became the largest US Carrier in number of subscribers and the No.1 in the GSM market. With the partnership terms of extra revenue per subscriber plus the customer initial interaction control and the location of distribution and sale of the iPhone, it's a no-brainer to choose the one carrier that will bring the most revenue and control over the exclusive sale of the handheld device.

Ah, my mistake, I knew that Verizon was the one who was offered first, I just assumed that the other carriers were offered it as well.

@Xectar and HumanTheory (Sorry too lazy to quote). Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Enable Caps lock and then just double tap the shift button for caps lock.

ive had a 3g for about a year, it often locks up, you cant do simple things like change ur background with out jail breaking it, over all i regret buying it


^i gotta try that caps lock fix

I like it, its just the battery. it doesnt last at all. I end up charging it like 2 to 3 times a day.

I will list the cons as every one knows the pro's
1) No Bluetooth data transfers
2) Highly dependent on 3G data connection even GPS
3) To replace battery u have to send phone to Apple
4) Can't install third party apps (Jailbreak) without voiding warranty
5) Touch screen though very responsive but very delicate, not suitable to persons with loose fingers
6) Poor Camera (Only 2 MP) with no night flash or mode.
7) Cannot make Video Calls
8) Although iTunes is good it won't allow users to store the music in the way they prefer.
