iPhone 3G … getting fed up

October 9th, 2008

Ok so everyone loves the iphone 3G. The hype has no doubt helped make it so popular and thus just over a month ago I got one through work. Now I’ve been using Windows Mobile devices since the Compaq Aero PDA that was black and white ! I’ve probably had over 30 PDAs and phones over the years so coming to the iphone 3G was interesting. It’s got to be said that the hardware is amazing. I love having a Word document viewer, MP3 player, phone, calander and emails all on one very well made device. It works very nicely and taking and making calls on it is great. There’s no delay in pressing buttons like on a Windows Mobile PDA.

To tell the truth I’m already getting a bit sick of it. The lack of freedom is ruining it.

Why can’t I share the data connection on it ?
Why can’t I use sat nav on it ?

Because Apple have decided that we don’t need it. Personaly I don’t think that’s got anything to do with them. And as such I’m still using my HTC Touch Diamond. Why on earth do we have to put up with this ? ! Why on earth have Apple restricted all users to these rules ?

I’m off to Jailbreak my phone in the hope of being able to use it how I (the owner) wants to.
