No multitasking?
My iPhone has its browser up, PDANet serving my internet connection, Music playing with AIM in the backgroud pushing me messages.
No OS customization?
I guess youve never used Cydia.
No physical keyboard
No expandable memory
No replaceable batteries
iTunes
Those are all fine, first one is a taste issue not a fault. I dont want a physical keypad. Expandable memory and batteries are about the only two legit points that cak irk anyone. However i have not had an issue with either. I plug it in when I get home. iTunes sucks.
AT&T network reliability?
Ive been disconnected maybe 3 times in the last 8 months. There are few and far between places in my city and where I live out in the woods that doesnt get signal.
AT&T plan prices?
+20$ unlimited data and 200 texts isnt exactly horrible but it could be better.
They maintain and govern the App store. How about you spend the money they do providing such a service that would of never gotten of the ground in the first place without them? They have every right to filter things that dont agree with their bottom line or relationship with ATT. They are in business to make money. Not to mention I can install any app I damn well please regardless so its a moot point. The AppStore is a -good- thing not a bad thing. People are so spoiled.
Depending on the area AT&T or Verizon can good or bad. Verizon isn't great everywhere, neither is AT&T. I agree with your points, except one. iTunes doesn't really suck. I plug my iPhone in and it syncs new contacts, emails and my calendar all seamlessly. I'll be honest I don't even remember the last time I actually went into the program. People say it's slow on the PC. I plug my phone in and it's synced in 30 seconds or less. I don't even notice iTunes is running. If it sucked like so many people claim, it wouldn't work. I've never had it not sync my phone on the first attempt. Something I cannot say about ActiveSync, which is a program written by MS for an MS OS and a phone that runs a MS OS.
I will say LOL to dude saying you can't customize the OS really? I have modded my iPhone from the OS all the way to the interface. In fact if I took a video of my using my phone the only way you'd know it's an iPhone is because how the device looks. The UI has been changed 100% to my liking and looks nothing like an iPhone's out the box.
I can multitask, I was just IM'ing somebody while I using Logmein to connect to a clients PC. If I owned a Droid I wouldn't be able to use Logmein. I rarely use multitasking on a cell phone. I think people who say "OMG I NEED IT SO MUCH!" are a bit full of it, but if you need it, iPhones can be modded to do it in about 2 minutes.
Yup, Apple doesn't approve all apps for their store, I'm sure some great ones have gotten shot down. But what's the alternative? Well my WM6.1 phone doesn't have MS motoring shit when it comes to apps. And I have installed 2 different apps that forced me to format the phone to make it usable again. And I'd rather know the apps I'm installing won't b0rk my phone over having access to more apps. Oh, and even with Apple denying many apps, they still have 10 times what any other phone has so it's a moot point. In the end there's not a single app I need or want any more. My iPhone does EVERYTHING I need it to, and does it better than any other phone.
