Happily Returning iPhone & Getting Blackberry Back...

[AppleLA]

I am so disappointed with the iPhone. How Apple managed to take such a pretty looking device and screw it up so bad is just awful.

The email program is absolutely awful. Checking only 15mins...not being able to select multiple emails for delete...on top of that, having to then go into the Trash folder and AGAIN, delete one by one...no copy and paste...etc.

I dont think i am being picky. These are functions that PDA's have had for YEARS!!! Its like Apple decided to take a step backwards with the email program.

Additionally, the battery life sucks. Why its not removable is just stupid. Another way for Apple to make more money off us. $80 for a replacement once a year. Forget that!

The keyboard...not even going to get into it. If you have an iPhone, you know my frustrations. In todays world, we email and text in cyber-slang. Almost every email i have written, it has changed the word i meant for it to be, to something completely different.

I havent been waiting 5 months for this device...i have been waiting over 5 years, since the Newton, for Apple to come back out with a handheld.

Wasted time.

a VERY SMALL price to pay to get back to a device that has proven to work efficiently.

you should give it a chance i mean they are going to fix these problems through updates and then some. and for me the battery is not a problem cuz hwens the last time i had to replace a phone battery or even ipod battery for that matter? never.and if it comes down to it cool i send my iphone in the apple and i get it back within a week for free. no problem.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I, like the majority of us, love my iPhone! I wouldn't trade it for any phone in the world.

He'll be back when iPhone 2.0 comes out. LOL

The keyboard's actually not bad. I can type very quickly now. You just have to learn how to use it. It's actually kind of a rush.

Yyou still have the blackberry, right? Just keep the iPhone until they fix/hack the things you hate about it.

Why does everyone complain about the deletion of multipul emails??? You just swipe your finger over it and tap delete and move on. Its a whole ONE finger swipe its not like 40 steps to delete it. Its crazyness what people complain about.

You can set the email to delete itself from the trash after a set time. I agree the 15 minutes to check email is a bit long though. As for the keyboard I can type faster than I ever could on my BB. Most of the small problems are easy software updates, something Apple is known for.

It certainly has its negatives, but I like it a lot more than my pearl. BB email certainly puts this email to shame, but it will be made better in time.
