The features that made the iPhone popular
I believe the features of the iPhone that made it a premium phone since it’s very first release was:
1. The capacitive touch screen.
2. The screen form factor was cleverly selected and designed.
3. iOS.
These key features are now fairly common in many of the smart phones today. actually many smart phones now has better feature set than that of the iPhone 4, but still, iPhone 4 makes it to the top of the US smart phone market again.
This makes me believe that the key feature and the greatest advantage this phone has is a very clever and smart marketing team that knows how to sell the not so premium phone as the most prestigious gadget in the electronics market today.
Why I wouldn’t Buy iPhone 4
As I mentioned before, there are many many phones that have a better feature set and capabilities that the iPhone 4, that includes better camera and video recording, better multitasking, better file management,better app store (android market) … etc
Also, iPhone 4 has so many problems reported by the users and the reviews websites. many users have reported and actually returned their iPhone because of call drops, the problem happens when the phone user places his thumb over the upper left part of the iphone frame blocking the antenna of the phone; Other problems are the easy to scratch glassy back and the inverted volume buttons.
My main reason for not buying iPhone is, I wont pay premium if I can get better at less cost, besides, I won’t eat an apple if someone has taken a bite of it before me.
My suggestions for a better smart phone
Well, actually the term “smart phone” is a bit vague to me, when some body mention this term i wonder does he/she mean that the phone can do multitasking? or have a touch screen ? or can access the companies mail through the exchange server? or has a well known OS?
To me, a smart phone is a phone that can handle a fairly complex jobs and applications that a small computer can handle, so I includes all the above and more. any way, here are my suggestions for a better smart phone than the iPhone :
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
- LG Expo
- Samsung Beam
- HTC Desire HD
- Nokia N8
