Your response: "Windows Mobile isn't in the list, but I can still use it on the iPhone"
My Response: "The iPhone isn't listed, but I can use it in Windows Mobile"
Your response: "Windows Mobile wasn't on the list"
Do you see how incoherent of an argument you are trying to make? I believe that is begging the question.
The point in my statement:
Even though Google doesn't list Windows Mobile as a "compatible device", I can still use Google Voice on my Windows Mobile based device. However, in order for iPhone users to utilize a Google Voice application that will have to jailbreak, and potentially void their warranty. Windows Mobile users on the other hand, can install a third party program without fear of voiding the device's warranty. These applications for example, but not limited too, a custom made interface to more easily use Google Voice.
However, Google does indeed provide an interface for iPhone users, from what I hear, the experience is not the same.
Should one really recommend an action that can void their warranty? Even though jailbreaking has worked for you, doesn't mean it will work perfectly for the next person. A person could have really bad luck and have a power outage at the exact moment that they are applying the jailbreak, which would essentially make their iPhone a paperweight.
All thoughts aside - this whole argument would be mute if Apple wasn't so concerned about people who jailbreak iPhones. If Apple had a didn't care attitude towards people who jailbreak their iPhones, then I say have a jailbreak-iPhone-party. But, since Apple is taking a firm stand against individuals using the device the way the individuals want - I would caution against jailbreaking because even though 9 times out of 10 the Apple CSRs are nice and useful and willing to help you out...there will always be that one person who bricks their iPhone, brings it to the counter where they go "Oh, looks like you attempted to jailbreak it, we can't warranty it; sorry.". I ask you, do you really want that sitting on your shoulder? Or would you just tell him "meh, my jailbreak worked fine, buy another one."
And don't act like that would never happen at Apple, just look at these articles and say that you couldn't find ONE article of someone who got the shaft from Apple. |
