I Phone users

New Google I phone app.

This is a free app and is basically Google but works from voice recognition. Ive tried about 10 different things and its been spot on every time.

I would imagine we are not far away form a phone that types text messages from voice commands, unless there is already one out there.

I got one last week and I'm still confused. I love the fact that I can read the NY Times on the loo, that I can watch the latest headlines from Sky while I make a cup of tea and that I can download books from the Gutenberg project and read them on the tube. FlightControl and iShoot are two of the best mobile games ever and I'm re-learning how to play Chess as well.

The trouble is that, as an actual phone, it's absolute ****. Calls fail more often than not and if I do get through to someone, they answer before my phone has stopped making the ringing noise which means that every call starts with the other person shouting, "HELLO? HELLOOOO?"

The battery life is scandalous, if your fingers are any bigger than the average 6 year old girl then texting is out of the question and the shiny, ergonomically designed shell means that it's very easy to drop.

If I could download an App that turned it back into a Blackberry, I would.

Great post.

I need say no more.

I am an advocate of the Nokia N Series, a phone that has some nice (but not so good at performing) bits tagged onto it, not an iPod which has nice bits tagged onto it yet as a phone is crap.

It's the fact that Apple will invariably put a flash on the iphone at some point and make out it's an innovation, no, you're playing catch up in the phone market, it's just the fact you have a brand and a good grounding to push, but the actual thing you're selling (a phone) is garbage.

And as is the case with anyone who is an advocate of anything made by Apple, the reason why it's so good is "because it is".

Bit harsh there mate, Apple machines for years outperformed PC but we had been brainwashed to only buy PC and MS, it has only been since the advent of the iPod that the British public have been awoken to the Apple brand.

I feel today in the Smartphone sector things are too blurry to say that people are just wanting a phone, if that was the case stick with Ericsson or Nokia that does not have a camera or other whiz bang add-on.

Unfortunately this is not the case for the majority of punters and each device has it pros and cons and it is down to the individual to decide what do they require the most to help make the decision on which product you buy.

I can only speak as I find and I find the Iphone to be perfectly ok, both for phone calls, email, internet and text messages. Never have a battery problem as its sits charging on my desk most of the day.

There is also a reverse thing here that presumably due to their success, people have an adverse reaction to Apple, and also to a degree Mr Gates products and dismiss them as garbage. Maybe its a case of each to his own.

I sprayed my ladder with matt black Hammerite because you don't want any reflected light attracting attention when you are breaking into someones house or stealing lead from a church roof.

I don't hate Apple products.

I do think it is odd that purchasing an iPhone means you suddenly have to perform every single personal computing task relevant to your life in a public place.

Its the fact he is a useless **** that makes everyone hate the boring ****, not the fact everyone brought that crap album....:soapbox:

Late night Radio one of the best songs he has ever done. Though teh new one with Annie Lennox is fairly awesome as well.

A good reasoned argument for the Blackberry there!
