How Would You Change the Apple iPhone 3G?

What instigated me for this Post:

Let's review what i wouldn't change first, the things i don't find fault in:

Size is adequate: Check!

Screen is adequate: Check!

Numbers of Buttons: Check!

Audio Out: Check!

Speaker Phone: Check

Bluetooth: Check / Err Not.

-----------------------------------------------

Okay now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's look at the phones faults.

1) Ringtones blow! Now that you know my history of using Sony Ericsson Phones. If you've ever had one you know about the Walkman feature which lets you put songs on there and blast them out over your speakerphone. I've taken it out in bars before. They're closing so they turn off the music to try and kick people out. So i take out my phone. Lamer that i am and blast out Boston toons. The owner comes in: "Pablo i thought i told you to turn off the music" so these people GTFO! "I did, it's this guys phone." "oh. Err. k" exit. LOL's from everyone at the bar. what a moron he must have felt like. Poor guy. So phone playing music. Check iPhone does that. Excellent. Now with SE software i can go in there and say okay Play this song as my ringtone that i uploaded via USB. But with the iPhone you have to convert the files to m4rs or mp4rs or something stupid. I mean you can listen to a song from your ipod playlist over the speaker. but you can't use it as your ringtone? that's pretty dumb. eet maka no sense.

5 hours later after watching this 5 minute movie I've uploaded 100 ringtones to the iPhone each 30 seconds long, varying stages of the song. Stupid phone that's supposed to be 10x better and costs 10x more to use should have 10x more the power and possibilities of any other phone. Well that's just not the case.

2) Settings blow! You can't change hardly any settings for the phone. Why can't i say "line up icons" or "organize icons by date" or "by alphabet". Everytime an application updates itself it gets moved somewhere else in the dash. Increase Icon size maybe? Lock Safari window horizontal? Vertical? I like to use it in bed and watch youporn, but when my head is on the side and i keep trying to rotate it so it's lvl with my vision i can't because it keeps flipping. That makes browsing the internet painful, among otherthings. Most of the settings are just Yes or No questions On or Off? Application settings for some of the apps i have are: Credits? Are you serious? Bizarre!

3) Weather Blows! It should default to your current location all the time and then let you add others to see those locations too. Weather icon should reflect actual temperature.

4) Maps App sux. Maps app doesn't find it. But local.google does? How does that work?

5) Password? Sheah! Apple Store needs my login everytime i want to download an app. Um. Hello this is my phone. It's mine. Who else is using my phone? Most login things in safari and iphone don't offer to remember passwords?

6) No flash support? um hello. please stop smoking crack. How can you have a phone in the 21st century with no flash support?

7) Camera? In case you didn't see. Everyone in the iPhone line had their camera phone and were walking the line making a movie of all these crazy people waiting for their iPhone. Not a picture. A movie. Why can't you make video with the iPhone. It has multiple gigs don't it? fo shwazy! Why's it so hard to take a picture of yourself with your iPhone. I can never get my finger to hit the button at the right time. SE software lets you send photos to people. Why wouldn't this be an obvious option on the iPhone?

8) Yesterday i had 2 pages of apps. Today there's 4 pages of apps? I haven't added any more software. The thing updated a couple wares, band now they're all spaced out all over the damn place wtf's up with that Jobsy!?

9) No Stylus? How can you have a notes app that doesn't draw or use a pen on it? Come on that's Toshiba Protege 3500 like 6 or 7 years ago stuff, come on now. I still have my 3505.

10) Lastly the keyboard sux asshole. Seriously! No disable T9 come on now. I do not ever use spell check. I hate it. It always tries to spell perfectly spelled words wrong. It tries to capitalize things that i say should be lowercase.  iPhone Spellcheck is no different. You have got to find a way for me to turn this stupid feature off. You have no idea how many angry text messages asking people what the duck they're talking about? and them returning the question duck? and i try to respond fuck, but it keeps making it duck. It wants me to tell it not to misspell everything everytime it tries to misspell it? SE software back again. "spell word" option lets you add words to the dictionary. This is Freakanomics 101: Learn to adjust your software to the needs of your customer base. Why can't i make the keyboard larger or smaller? I have fat fingers, they're not toothpicks which is what you need to type on these little things.

11) Why does the iphone freeze. And why won't the power button shut it down?  You have to hold down the Home and Power Button for three secs until the apple logo appears and it resets.  or shuts down and then you  have to wait and turn it on again yourself. What a pain? Really trying to aggravate me now aren't you?

12) Send Contact feature. Where is the send contact feature. Doesn't some kind named Joe Schmo call you and ask for someones phone number. Now you have to search for it, you used to just be able to send the contact as a text message to them, very simple all the info intact.
