You want one of these? Really? Seriously?


Dubbing the iPhone the Jesus phone implies that, much like the big guy himself, everything is perfect. No unholy flaws, just pure, angelic goodness seeping from every pore.


Alas, unsurprisingly, this isn’t really the case. In fact, scores of bugs have been uncovered since America went iPhone crazy a fortnight ago.


The hard-working gents over at Applehound have uncovered 68 of the buggers. So if you were having doubts about spaffing all that cash once it arrives here, then you’ve got all the reasons you need to hold fire.


We’ve picked out the ‘hound’s five biggest reasons, which should be all the ammo you need to ensure you’re not tempted to go berserk with the last of your savings. Or at least wait until Apple gets it sorted.


1. Safari loses pages really easily.
The iPhone’s web browser is perhaps the most sacred of its features. But once you’ve tapped that icon and got things moving, you’ll find a myriad of niggly faults. Pages get lost if the phone loses power while you’re using them. So if you’re filling in web forms, all that info is gone. Nada. No more. Pesky considering it’s supposed to remember pages you’ve been to and take you right back there when something like this happens.


2. Web browsing is painfully slow.
Perhaps no surprise considering the lack of hearty 3G goodness. Scrolling and zooming is a nigh on impossibility before a page is fully loaded. So you have to wait until everything’s in place. It all becomes achingly slow and simply doesn’t seem to work properly.


3. Google Maps hates traffic information.
As if a lack of proper GPS wasn’t enough, powering up traffic information can cause Google Maps to throw a hissy fit and not play nice. Focus in on one area of a city then scroll to another and the whole thing decides it’s all too much.


4. Editing photo contacts crashes the phone app.
Changing the picture of a mate so you get a ridiculous mug shot every time he blows up your cell should be simple right? Well, seemingly not. Go in and try and change the pic, but once you synced it, you’ll be sent back to an unresponsive contacts page. That’s a bit weak, isn’t it?


5. The iPod crashes after syncing.
If you’ve got a ‘pod, you’ll know all about the blighters crashing at inopportune moments. Start a sync while you’re in the blower’s iPod and you’ll find it’ll take you back to the original page and stop playing tunes or video too. So not ideal.

I have an n95 and iphone my n95 is pimped out cos of this great site noeman. But my iphone is wicked and getting better all the time with new apps popping up all the time. It dosent have any problems what this guy says. Do u actually own 1?

Apple's first phone is not revolutionary. Aside from the graphical and colourful display and UI, this phone severely lacks in its features (connectivity, software support etc). For example its way far off from Nokia's user friendliness. Im sure people who do buy it will quickly get tired of it. I wouldnt recommend buying an iphone.
