So…about my iPhone 3G…

After watching the second AOTS review of the iPhone 3G, I am starting to realize these problems I am having are all across the board, rather than just a select group of people.

There are a total of 5 people on our family plan, and these issues have (confirmed for all accept one member) happened to all of us at least once, likely more than once.

First off I need to say I do talk on my phone a lot, and I keep my 3G on, because that is one of the features of the phone (which is why I don’t get the advice of “just turn the 3G off to save battery life” because if I wanted a 2G phone I would get the old iPhone. As I was ranting, I do talk on 3G for all of the phone calls unless the area doesn’t have it, which does help drain the battery down, but it does it way too fast to be considered reasonable.

If i go to bed at night, plug my phone in, let it charge full, and then take it off in the morning, I shouldn’t have to worry about the battery until AT LEAST the next day. If I use the features the iPhone 3G boasts as the great features, (ie: 3G Data/Talk, GPS, 3rd party apps) I can rarely make it though the day, and it only lasts that long if I am not talking a lot.

Onto the part that has really been bugging me, and as far as I can tell, everyone else in the world. 2 Main issues that need correcting immediately, and those are crashes (app crashes and entire phone crashes) and dropped calls. I would go as far as to say I deal with both of these issues on a daily basis at this point. I don’t know who to blame for the dropped calls, but both company’s need to step up their game a lot. At&t should have made a much larger and better 3G network (and regular network) a long time ago, but the blame here has to go (at least from me) onto Apple, but that isn’t because i dislike the company, because i don’t. I love Apple, and that is why it sucks to have to say this, but seriously…

Your Apple. You are Apple. You are APPLE. Fix these issues. You are like a god of the tech world, Your products rarely have issues, so why now? Why is it that your greatest product has to have the most problems? This is me calling out Apple for being so far off from what Apple has presented themselves to be, that it makes me sick. I haven’t had this many issues with anything accept Vista, and at least a few tweaks can fix Vistas issues without taking away 50% of its functionality.

Get on your game Apple. And At&t, this is your last warning to do as you promised and improve your network before people start to get truly angry. 

Thanks for reading, I love my iPhone, I Hate the issues and At&t, I wish I could love them all, so make it work!
