Can't load an exchange web panel from its wifi or even on its cell web.
The wifi doesn't support radius so as to actually secure the tunnel.
Can't run a vpn app from the handheld since they locked it down. So much for security.
It doesn't synch well with outlooks phonebook.
For awhile it was flooding our cisco AP's off the network and killed almost all wireless use for most workers.
At&t's network coverage sucks.
The phone reception is horrible compared to my at&t razr v3 which is a mountain times worse then the Q. I can't take the phone anywhere else in the world and just insert the local companies sim to save us both data and phone charges.
The touch screen has to be unlocked to answer the phone ! Why ?

If you're referring to coverage as in areas where they offer coverage then I agree some places will not have good coverage. Otherwise, if by coverage you mean signal strength in an area then I wonder why at&t is the #1 provider in terms of subscribers.
said by BosstonesOwn:The touch screen has to be unlocked to answer the phone ! Why ? It does not need to be unlocked to answer the phone. If that were the case you would need to unlock the phone and then pick up the call. Instead you just swipe your finger across to the screen to pick up the call.

 |  |  |  |  |  |  | | Ok so wait, you want me to get off exchange ?
Even as the system admin for this top fortune 100 company , we have standard services that are used for a reason. Ever try to work with people who use open office ? They just don't mess well together and the same is said for email.
We have workers who check their email from web forms from outlook and from other exchange capable devices. The open services don't play well with blackberries. They also don't work as well as exchange when you have to cluster 60 to 80 boxes together to drive a company like this. Also let me know when you have users all over the world who hit the email servers.
Also let me know when those open source programs get the approval of the us government and the approval of every other government where we have campuses. Because then we can shift to that platform and save a whole lot of money.
Even as a sys admin who often writes code for opensolaris and even linux when I need to , I can't get away from exchange and we even have lotus notes servers as well. Which the iphone doesn't like either. You see open source works for small companies but not for the big guys who need to work with many government entities and follow their rules.

Simply put, there is a lot of cool stuff Apple wants to do with the iPhone - and are doing right now internally in Cupertino and Austin - but they can't do due to the terms of the contract with AT&T. Disabling unlocked phones was an AT&T thing, not an Apple thing. No Data over BT was an AT&T thing, not an Apple thing. People think Apple has complete control over these devices, but in the end AT&T has a lot of leeway and control over what goes on, and they also have a lot of control in the way of severely fucking customers over and screwing them in ways you would not imagine unless you're on the inside of iPhone support. -- I swear that I will faithfully and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen. | |

 | | ATT Tactics.... Really, there are 2 sides to this, the ATT side and Apple side. The Apple side would rather you buy a new version of the device everytime it comes out (ala ipod business model) ensuring a steady stream of sales and revenue heading apples way.
ATT's side does not care how many devices you purchase, as long as your locked into a fat contract, and providing a steady stream of revenue in the long term.
I suspect ATT's strategy here is to set currently undecided customers to potentially wait before switching or resubscribing to alternate non ATT services in the hopes that if they see a newer upgraded iphone on the horizon, they will switch to ATT... | |

 | | consider not in an insulting way, just in a fact-is-fact, objective way, you guys are all ignorant of some blatant subtleties. the iphone is revolutionary in so many ways that are not IMMEDIATELY obvious, and very less so on paper. If you for one unclouded moment use an iphone and concentrate not on its faults, but it's effectiveness at doing what it does and at doing what few phones do, you will reach a moment of giddy realization that the iphone is an incredible creature.
to be uniquely deep, the iphone is technology poetry; it takes time with use to appreciate, but it is leagues ahead of it's competition, and has even managed to fall into it's own category of device.
it's actually quite hard to explain, but so simple to experience. | |
|
 |  | | Re: consider Well, I have to make my own comment. I've played with an iPhone. It's a neat phone, yes. It's not my cup of tea, though, and no matter how much you try to say 'try it, you'll like it', I'm going to still say 'I tried it, it wasn't for me', and if you say 'but try it harder, you didn't give it a chance' and spout off about me not following your instruction to use it in an 'unclouded moment', all I think is that you have an agenda of some kind, and that really turns me off of the product you're trying to sell.
Like others here have argued, I use my PDA as more of a business device. Notice, I didn't call it a phone, I called it a PDA. It's ability to act as a mobile is a feature I consider secondary to the PDA's purpose. The iPhone is a phone first and foremost. When Apple pushes a fully featured Personal Data Assistant with cellular abilities, call me back. Until then, I'll keep using my Hermes. Thanks. | |

I would have liked Apple to be the Great White Hope (whatever that is, really) against the oppression of being more-or-less locked into Microsoft, but alas they turned out to play the same games only with extra restrictions on hardware.
Getting back to the original point of this thread, if one has only basic knowledge of recent wireless carrier offerings, it is clear that a 3G capable version of the iPhone is in the offing just as soon as the fools out there finish spending their cash on this first very weak release. But it seems that the vast majority of consumers don't look past the latest advertisement and hype, so maybe the CEO did "reveal" something market-shattering after all! | |
