Enough is enough

Ok

So recently with me working for a phone company for about a year and a half and investing more time in upcoming technolgies I have decided to rant if you will.

I hate the iPhone.

It is everything that is annoying about the world. People are constantly going to whats trendy, what new, they never both seeking anything. Everything must be handfed to them like little kids.

I had a discussion with a couple friends and they were enthused about using the net, or playing games on the iphone, beleiveing this could not be done on any other device.

the iPhone is a good product, the large touchscreen and easy accessibility are great tools, but they are doing to phones what they did the iPod. Causing people to conform to devices that may not be the best, just fashionable.

A 3G phone without video calling, MMS messaging and a with only a 2 megapicel camera is appalling for a phone. But because of the advertising, the iPhone remains immesly popular.

You know what though, its not the iPhone's fault, its not even Apple's fault. It's time for brands to understand what they need to do, kick them into gear.

Touch screen has become popular, but its not the greatest thing ever, Blackberry Bold and the Nokia E71 have had great reviews. SO the querty is still very much in play. Brands are going in leaps and bounds in terms of technology, the HTC Touch HD, and the Android phones are very intuitative, Android is becoming a smart and effective UI.

However, brands are taking the wrong root, SOny Ericsson, having never made a PDA, have released the xperia, with windows mobile 6.1. WHY? WHy on earth would they do that. Sony Ericsson are loved for their constistent easy and effective UI. Its why most people choose to stay with it, the call log and shortcut buttons shit over alot of fancy crap. Why not intergrate it, or even like HTC make their own mask, and the panel interface from what I have heard is simply slow and irritating and looks too much like Mac Spaces.

I am looking forward to the IDou and W995, as well as the HTC Android phones, but I will still love Sony Ericsson and continue to hope.

Later.
