apple i hate you right now
i was hoping there would be a fix for some of the major problems with the iphone in the new update but what a shocker, there is not one.
a few fixes i want to see.
1) flash viewing
2) codex for quicktime so you can view other movie formats. ( i get a clip in email, from a friend and can not view it becouse it's not an apple format. windows player can view any format why can't apple.)
3) if your not going to let us get sms messages make the text messge viewmymessags ( whatever it is) a clickable link that takes you to the pic, not some long username and generated password.
4)let me customise my phone, i am ok with not placing 3rd party programs on it. fine keep it locked an just use your programs but let me arange the icons on it the way i want, i am the user. let me set ringtones enen if i have to use itoons but it's my phone. ( why can't i set the colors, fount,layout and back ground the way i want. what will it do something to the phone if i customize it, i have to do it just like apple wants or nonthing. i think i paid $600 for it, let me use it i will not brake it)
( sorry for the rant but i was let down by the update. i have to say i love the phone and the few probles i have are just that. a few problems. i think the phone is grate.)
( 8-22-07 just used phone with wifi to look at some of jobbs's speaches about the phone. well they are on the net but i had to search around for about 15 min's to find one the phone would view. apple's speaches and i can't view it without finding a straming page. why apple why do you ban anything but apple files. ) ( oh and vista hates the iphone as well but i can beat vista with a stick and make it play nice.)

Agreed. And on top of that, nobody really seems to even know what the update is for. When are we going to get updated features apple? Picture messaging, voice dial, something! Especially mms. It was embarassing the other day telling my buddy about my $600 phone and when he wanted to send me a pic,
having to tell him that my phone doesnt do it.

I'm really disappointed with the iPhone too.
Apple, please don't send updates on "bug fixes'", but send updates on features we need!

they seem to be incompetent...
I work in R&D of software development....we prioritize on BUGS......and have them handled and released within good time....at least the shortest time possible....dependant on code/bug....
I hate Apple....they are are too into their selves...IMO...

updates are as apple puts it "every 2 weeks"....well apple likes to say there will be one every 2 weeks.
you can bet there will be regular update for about 4 more months, apple may be retarted in some reguards but they will not let activity die out on a new produck they are pushing. after about another 4 months apple will slack off on updates posting things about how programing setbacks and wating for other companies is why they have not released any updates and start sending them once every 3 months

Why on earth would you buy a phone based on the hope of upgrades through software? Apple has never really promised to release any features through software updates, and even if they did, I would not believe it until they show up on the phone. #1, 2, and 4 were all known limitations of the phone well before you bought it. The iPod has the same video restrictions, what makes you think Apple will change things now?
I don't mean to jump all over you, but I am tired of people assuming that Apple is going to release all of these new features through an upgrade and then berate them when they don't Apple has never said there will be anything more than bug fixes, unless I missed something somewhere along the line.

uggghhh....it just doesn't seem to get any better....
from day one...my IPhone has been a nightmare(2 days to activate)....
can anyone of you not make me feel as stupid for buying an undeveloped phone for a rediculous price?
or at least lie to me and say that there will be updates galore....that will make the phone 20th century-like? with video teleconference and such...you know...like make use of a sweet high res screen...and stuff....
I'm just joking of course...
