When Iphone 3G was introduced,people were surprised. It costs less than half the price of original first iphone. This raised doubt in my mind,as how it can be possible. And if it is why didn`t they do it before?But here is the real thing. Though apple hides these facts,it comes out easily once use it regularly.




Disadvantages

  1. No video calling, no AD2P on the Bluetooth, can’t share any(mp3, images, videos…) files via bluetooth.
  2. Can’t use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone, but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home)
  3. All even the smallest copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.. say… email & send it.Have to type it out yourself)
  4. No 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera,(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i’ve ever seen.. photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)
  5. No video recording with camera, no front camera, no flash.
  6. No JAVA support
  7. No physical keyboard
  8. No removable battery. You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.
  9. No haptic feedback and cannot send MMS.
  10. Can’t be used as external storage device.16 GB of utter waste..next time you go to your friend’s house & find some interesting songs, movies, etc…sorry you cannot connect your ‘16 GB’ phone and share it!!!! Apple apparently has a solution.. ”BUY MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE “
  11. No FM radio, can’t use your mp3 files as ringtones.
  12. Cannot insert any other SIM card.
  13. Completely tied to iTunes.Connect to your friend’s iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone and much much more



But if you own iphone 3G,do not worry,because a third party software or a mod is going to be released,adding these absent functionalities and features. But for sure apple will not allow this.
