Hi all, New to the forum, so please excuse any mistakes.
Well I joined the forum for one reason only, not to praise the iphone (although the phone itself is good), this is a 3Gs 32mb, but to have a moan about the whole concept of the phones limitations and especially itunes, which must be one of the most annoying, rubbish peice of software ever thought of.
Now I know I will probably get shouted down for saying the above, but i'm fed up with it deleting everything of the phone whenever I connect, The current version installed is 9.0.3.15, and all attempts to upgrade fail, if I could be bothered to waste any more time with this peice of rubbish, I would uninstall completly and start from sctratch, but don't see the point, if I have transfer everything back to the phone after itunes decides I don't really want it and deletes it for me, and please note it's set not to sync automatically, I only sync the relevant folder if I want to add something, but it's "Bye Movies, Pictures ect" and all I wanted to do was add a music track. I Hate It.
Secondly, The phone itself, well most phones will allow you to add custom ringtones and alerts with ease, but the iPhone, oh no, you can jail break it, get winscp, and a whole host of different programs to aid you to get stuff you really want on it, but why should you have to, If you buy something, you should be able to customise it to your own preference, not bow down to apple's money making franchise, and not what they think you need on your own peice of equipment, One things for sure, I will NEVER buy another apple product.
So, the long and short of it is, in the new year I will be looking for another phone, but I want to be able to drag and drop file's, Ringtones, Alerts, Movies etc directly from windows Explorer, Just like I can with my Sony MP3 player, organise folders, to my pref's, without the hassle of reverting to google to find out how to do it.
I am looking at maybe a HTC, Motorola, Samsung or what ever will allow me to do what I want to do with it, So if there is anyone on this forum who can sympathise with my plight, and understands the frustrations of owning an apple iPhone, and knows a good phone to go for, I would appreciate thier input, Please bear in mind, I still require to run app's just like the iPhone, and play movies with the same quality.
Finally, It's a shame that apple have produced a great phone, but put so many limitations on it, it just makes you want to bang your head against a brick wall.
Regard's,
Gazza.
