Since Apple announced that they will be releasing new tools for the iPhone in June, people seem to be all excited about the iPhone again. I have read that the iPhone will replace the BlackBerry, and I couldn’t disagree more. Have we forgotten that the iPhone has a host of problems? The largest problems being that it’s very difficult for the average person to type a message using the touch screen. A BlackBerry has a keyboard with actual buttons. This disadvantage alone is enough for corporate America to just say no to iPhone.
At a time when the United States is headed into recession, I don’t think companies are going to be buying $400 devices for their sales teams when they can get a BlackBerry for a fraction of the cost. I don’t see why the rest of the world would either. It’s another classic case of people going ga-ga over every single Apple announcement. The same thing happened with the AirBook, where the press overlooked that it doesn’t have an Ethernet port or CD-ROM drive. You can buy a more powerful laptop with more features for $500 at Wal-Mart.
Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone is a fairly cool device. It’s a solid product for consumers. I look forward to seeing some of the games that come out. The ability to move your iPhone around and control objects on the screen gets me a little giddy. But, replace devices in the corporate world? I think the device needs to be redesigned before that will happen.

The concept of doing away with your cell phone can be considered strange these days. Everybody has a cell phone and just can’t seem to live without them. Right now I am getting charged $80 a month by Verizon. This is for their Basic plan at $39.99 a month. That $39.99 fee doubles by the end of the month with all the surcharges, taxes, etc. I’m beginning to think that it’s not worth it to have a cell phone. Can’t I just use my Vonage account when I’m at home? The rest of the time I can use my phone at work. When I’m out, pay phones still exist at many gas stations.
Some may say I need a cell phone for emergencies. Well, if I need to dial 911, I don’t need a service. Any cell phone can dial 911. For emergencies not requiring 911, I could purchase a pay as you go plan. I would only use the phone when I absolutely need it, and I would never give the number to anybody. My friends have expressed that they would never be able to get in touch with me if I didn’t have a cell phone. This is true. It wouldn’t be as easy. But is the convenience for my friends being able to get in touch with me worth the extra $50 I pay over my Vonage service? I’m skeptical.
You purchase your fancy new cell phone. The battery lasts forever, but after a couple of months the battery doesn’t last as long. Still the capacity it has gets you by. After a year though, the thing hardly holds a charge. What was it that you did that causes this?
Many people think that they haven’t properly cared for their battery, and that’s the reason it will no longer hold a charge. They think that if they had properly discharged their batteries before recharging them, it would’ve made a difference. While this is true for the old Ni-Cad batteries we used to use, this is not true for the lithium-ion batteries that are used in the cell phones we use today.
