Over A Month Later

Over a month after having the iPhone I’m still playing with it. The App (application) store has grown to thousands upon thousands of games, utilities, applications and software. I’ve gone through about 45 so far myself though admittedly, I only keep a handful of my favorites on the iPhone. There’s a lot of crap in the App Store as well but that’s to be expected.

So far only two things are REALLY lacking with the iPhone. The ability to copy and paste, which is being developed by third party vendors, and the ability to receive images within a text message. Sounds simple and almost every other phone out there does it.

One more quick tip for all of those iPhone users out there.

When you get constant application crashes over and over it probably means you just need to hard reboot the phone. Hold down the top button and the home button down for at least 6 seconds until the shut down screen comes up. Slide the slider over and shut down. Then hit the top button again and bring it back to life. Problem should be solved and if not you may want to do a full restore.

    Damien,
    I agree about the Copy-Paste feature being a must-have, really can’t understand why it’s been so hard to implement.

    As for “the ability to receive images within a text message” that’s called MMS right?

    Mate, MMS was (I say was because it’s out-dated) a half-way solution for phones that couldn’t do email.

    The iPhone certainly can do email and it can post pictures to a web site for others to view if their phone can’t do email.

    My (now old) Nokia had MMS and I never used it because it was way to expensive to both send and receive MMS messages. I also discouraged friends from sending me MMS messages as it cost me money to receive them.
