| My iphone should be better |

The iPhone in my honest opinion is not worth the $600 you have to pay up front, you are sacrificing too many usable tools for something that just looks nice. Looks doesn’t get you very far when you need GPS and can’t use it.
1. Call history able to show the length of each call as well as the precise time of each call
2. LOUDER and CUSTOMIZABLE incoming sms and email sounds.
3. Check for email more frequently.
4. There needs be a way to STOP your texts from showing up on the main screen when you get an SMS. Not everyone who can see your phone needs to know your personal business.
5. The ability to delete one message of an SMS conversation- there is no reason why I should have to delete the entire thread.
6. The ability to change the sounds for the different actions and the volume for the related option (i.e. the mail sound, the keyboard click sound, and the touch tone while using the "old fashioned" keypad)
6. The option to display owner information when the phone is locked. (If you lose your phone, how else can someone reach you to let you know they have it?) This actually just happened with my Blackberry Pearl, and was the only way I was able to retrieve it.
7. Search for music just like iTunes and the 6G iPods
8. Ability to delete individual entry in the call history, instead of blanket delete all history.
A list of suggestions for improvements in no particular order whatsoever:
- Provide landscape support for any app that uses a keyboard.
- Improve the Calculator app by adding scientific or other modes as well as more precision for the basic calculator.
- This is a biggy: Add a Back button somewhere to return you to the last screen you were on, whatever it was (provided it makes sense to do so in a particular context).
- Display an on-screen indicator in the area near the signal strength as to whether you are currently in ring or silent mode.
- Allow Bluetooth syncing (even though I'd probably rarely use this since I normally sync at the same time that I'm recharging the battery).
- Provide Copy/Cut/Paste functionality similar to any other operating system.
- Allow multiple emails to be deleted at the same time through multi-select or some other method.
- Make it easier to check your email from multiple accounts without having to wind your way back to the email accounts screen then choosing a different email account.
- Provide more options for your email accounts like Mail on a Mac such as how long to keep email on the server, etc.
- Add a Home button to Safari.
- Allow custom ringtones to be created-preferably without having to pay for them through iTunes as has been rumored.
- Install a few games.
- Add an option to Safari to render pages as if it were a tiny web browser so that I'm not forced to zoom in to view every web page in the world.
- Port Flash to the iPhone but please give us an option to easily turn it off or on because 75% or more of Flash files are just plain annoying.
- Add a very secure, highly encrypted username/password application to keep track of usernames and passwords since most of us have numerous accounts to keep track of.
- Provide a lot more information about recent calls.
- Allow the Home screen to be customized much as the Dock is on a Mac.
- Display the current conditions (or reasonably recent conditions) on the icon for the Weather widget. Apple already displays the current date on the Calendar app icon so it must not be that hard to do.
- Similarly, display the current time on the icon for the Clock app.
- Add junk mail filtering to the Mail app. |
