Jul. 19th, 2008 08:40 amI found myself pondering iphones again today, but again I am reminded that some of the sacrifices made for carriers/ease of use piss me off, as do a few other things about them...
1) MAJOR - No bluetooth send/receive of photos/ringtones. While you can email photos, it is a pain
2) MAJOR - No flash on the camera - I use mine as a flashlight all the time
3) MINOR - Phone with a data plan that I can't tether (either by bluetooth or cable) and use as a modem. But how often will I have and need to use my a laptop somewhere without a wireless connection?
4) TRIVIAL - Only 2MP Camera.. I have one of those on my current phone, but the iPhone one seems better
But it does have some pretty big pluses..
1) Internet! Anywhere! The number of times I've wanted to just check something quick online (I don't mean LJ, I mean prices, reviews, bus times, etc) and haven't been able to..
2) GPS! I love geotagging stuff I take for flickr
3) iPod!
Hmm!
This Google Document from the Internets shows various plans and options. I'm looking at the $49/month Yes Cap Plan. Hmm!
