Top 10 things you need to know about the iPhone

by: Rouge

10. It doesn’t have MMS, (multimedia messaging service) – a messaging capability to send or receive videos and photos over the phone. Has long been present to older phones but not on your iPhone 3G that is 5 years ahead of other phone technology.

9. No video recording capability. You can only snap a picture. Your lucky enough if you can capture sharp picture, it’s crappy most of the time so I don’t even bother use my iPhone for snapping pics.

8. No option for sending business card like what your Nokia phone does.

7. Bluetooth file transfer are not available. Sorry, Bluetooth here is only for integration with your mono Bluetooth headset or car kit.

6. Three percent (3%) of those who downloaded either 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 update are having issues receiving email after an update. A small 1-3% of those who updated to 2.0.2 has resulted in their iPhone to only show the Apple logo of death or stay in recovery mode.

5. Another 1-3% of iPhone 3G users are experiencing “No Service” issue whilst on 3G but will get reception when 3G is disabled. Rumor has it that Apple chose a bad 3G chipset for their iPhones.

4. An unknown percentage of iPhone users have dropped their iPhones and crack their screens because of playing games that requires tilting and shaking the device.

3. Most of the people getting error message “Unknown error ” after a failed update or restore are Windows XP users.

2. The iPhone 3G in the Philippines is still overpriced.

1. Your warranty will not be honored by AppleCare if your iPhone is purchased in somewhere else. Most of the iphones in Greenhills (Virramall) either came from US, Europe or Australia. Apples record will show the country of origin attached to your serial number. In the Philippines, support for the iPhone is only with Globe, the official wireless carrier.

Alam mo ba na... (Sunday Trivia)

Sa Amerika, pag wala na sa warranty ang inyong telepono at ito ay nasira, maari itong iparepair sa flat repair cost na $199.00. Kung gusto mo ng pahiram na telepono habang wala ang iyo ay dagdag ka pa ng $29. Hindi naman talaga nila iyon irerepair, papalitan lang naman nila yun ng kaparehas na modelo, yun nga lang ay refurbished na. At tsaka nila irerecondition yung orihinal mong celfon. Wala naman problema sa mga refurb na telepono, hindi naman yun lumang luma na dahil mukha naman bago ang casing, mga ni-recon lang naman yung laman loob.

Kung bibilhin mo naman sa Apple Store at AT&T store ng walang kontrata ang iPhone 3G, gagastos ka lang naman ng $399.99 sa 8GB na modelo at $499.99 naman sa 16GB. Nakalimutan kong banggitin na hindi pa kasama dun yung tax.
