9 other reasons not to buy iPhone

Forget the hype over iPhone. On a reality check, here are nine other reasons why it may not be worth buying.
1) Some who have used the contraband iPhone say it is too delicate and not user friendly.
2) Has only a two-megapixel camera without flash or zoom. Cheaper options have better cameras
3) SIM card is locked with Airtel or Vodafone for life. You are stuck with it even if their services are unsatisfactory.
4) India is still on 2G, and the handset sold is 3G. So data download on internet will be at a dead pace.
5) Touch-screen can be problematic if you are a messaging maniac. Mind you, there is only a virtual keyboard which is difficult to use.
6) Doesn’t allow “bluejacking”. So no downloading of songs “bluetoothed” from other handsets. Bluetooth links work only with other iPhones.
7) Apple forgot to include the cut- and- paste application. Wonder how it skipped this feature.
8) For all MMS practitioners, iPhone is a no go. It will not allow you to have this pleasure.
9) Battery replacement is a pain. You have to send it over to an Apple service centre for to get it replaced.
