It’s official, nobody outside the US needs to be envious of any iPhone owner. The phone is bolted down on a network and OS level too much, that unless you’re really just using it for it’s advertised features, you’ll probably going to be disappointed once you’ve got over the whole “nice and shiny” exterior and UI.
But I will state for the record. The actual phone, as far as technology goes, has so much potential if they only open it up – which I believe will be inevitable once they got the technology down pat. The responsiveness of the interface just shows how far [and fast] a phone could go visually when you implement a “proper” kernel on it. Despite what it lacks, it is still probably the biggest capacity phone ever built. It does fairly little at this point, but what it does, it does better than anything else out on the market.
So I’ll probably be getting one come the asian release; I foresee that generation to be so much better than what the US has now. In the meantime, I’ll do the next best thing, make my smartphone look like one.
