Top Ten Reasons Not to Buy an IPhone



10. Price
Even though the price has dropped you'll still have to fork out some serious cash to own an iphone.

9. Slow Text Messaging
The speed of text messages is actually slower.

8. Glass Screen
Apple should have learned a lesson, the glass screens are vulnerable.

7. Battery Replacement
If you have to replace your battery you'll be out $90 and time without your phone.

6. Long Menus
It is difficult to navigate all the menus and sub menus.

5. Slow Internet
Navigating around on the web is slow.

4. Difficult to Hang Up and Recieve Calls
There are extra steps to answer and disconnect making it difficult to use.

3. Limited Ring tones
It is unfortunate that the iphone has a limited bank of ring tones to choose from.

2. Missing Key Features
The iphone is missing features like video recording and bluetooth.

1. First Version
Wait until the next version of the iphone. Most of the kinks and bugs will have been worked out and the price should be reasonable.

Excuse me, but unfortunately you have been horribly misinformed on the iPhone! Lets see: Price? Any phone out there with half the features is equivalent in price or more expensive. Text? After getting use to the keyboard it is the same as physical keyboard. Data rates on text messaging are the same as any other phone. Glass? Could u imagine plastic, it would be scratched to pieces! Long Menus? Menus are more intuitive and easier to navigate than any other cell phone menu I have seen. Slow Internet? Edge can lag a bit but is better than some. Plus how many phones have Wifi? No Bluetooth? Give me a break check the specs!! Next version and reasonable price? Apple has already updated the software and plans to continue to do so. If you think the iPhone is overpriced for what you get you are nuts. Stick with the free on 2yr contract phones you're with now cause you are a entry level consumer and don't deserve an iPhone or anything other phone that is smarter than you.
