iPhone 3Gs O2 Petition!

The iphone multitasks, but only apple applications, any app not made by apple does not have permission to multitask.

This deserves Jon Stewart "meet me at camera three" type of moment - so imagine Fox looking at me across the internet, me looking at Fox, then we both look at you, get closer to monitor and with one eye brow stretched upwards ask in perfect unisono - "Are you serious or are you just screwing with us?"

Surely the iphone can do more than one app at once? What if you wanted to browse the web whilst using MSN?

Open mebo or whatever it is called in a tab in opera, but that's about it.

If you are doing something and you get a text or a call it notifies you and you can choose to close the app you are in to reply/answer, or you can carry on doing what you were doing.
It's not ideal, far from it, but it's not a big problem really IMO because it does a good job of saving things where you left off if you close an app.

I didn't realise that! I assumed it would just stick the app into the background and you could answer the call/read the text. But I assume you can browse the net/send sms's whilst listening to music?:eek:

Your stuck...you cant do 2 things at once on an iphone. If thats what you want to do then your better off with a phone which can do 2 or more things at once.

Does that mean I can't listen to music while using other apps like safari or texting or something?

I am completely lost for words. Why on earth does it do this?

I've almost always got more than one app running on my N95. Only today I was browsing the web, using MSN and replying to text messages.

It amazes me the amount of gapingly huge flaws in the iPhone. Every so often they fix a few, release it as a new handset and the sheep throw hundreds of pounds at 02 in order to upgrade AGAIN...
 
My iPhone multitasks perfectly well, but we're not allowed to talk about it here. :)

If you have more than one braincell it's perfectly possible.

Well i dont know about that as i have the ipod touch which is the iphone without the phone bit...but i cannot listen to my music while playing a game...annoying but thats apple for u.
 
on my iphone I can play a game with the music playing and safari too; texting too.@fox. The 'sheep' you call it have their reasons:p if it's so important to have all these apps running at once why is the iPhone so damn popular?:)

Well for a phone thats been aimed at business users it is pretty amazing but thats apple for u like i said...personally the iphone for me is great at what it does...media and the odd call/text here or there.

The problem is, and this is the point everyone who is not "on apple's side" is making is that we're not trying to say that the iphone is crap, or that it's not any good. It's the people who say that the OS is the best there is, which it isn't. People may like to use it better, people may think that it's gee whizz cool but technically it is not the best OS out there.

People, a lot of people confuse what they like with what is truly technically more advanced / open.

The kind of people who play with an iphone and things whizz about the screen, that's all they care about, and that's fine, if they have fun and enjoy what they're using everyone's happy, no one should force you to use a phone you don't find enjoyable or workable.

But most people have an issue with perception, they find it difficult to see past their own perception, past their own personal experience, likes and dislikes and they cannot see that. And for example whilst people might think that the number 9 is more visually pleasing than the number 10 it's ludicrous to say that 9 is greater than 10.

Oh my god what has happened to me.
 
Ending contracts early is stupid, they knew the deal when they signed it.

The lack of Tethering however is pathetic and O2 are only getting away with it due to their monopoly.

I have used a Windows Mobile phone, a n95 and while the features are nice they really are a pain to use sometimes, so it is iphone time.
I will be buying one on contract because I want all the features. But it will be unlocked for tethering purposes.
 
What on earth are you hoping to achieve? It's an online petition. I don't think an online petition has ever achieved anything in the history of the internet.

You know what's funny, I watched the iPhone 3GS video, they seemed so proud of all of their new features, like MMS and videos which have been available on almost every phone for years and then features like the compass and cut/copy/paste I thought "ok my G1 can do all that already too".

Yep. But unlike the G1, the iPhone doesn't look like it was designed by a 12-year-old in a DT class. And unlike the G1, its OS is fluid and smooth rather than being laggy and awkward. What's the point in having a premium-price phone if it doesn't offer a premium user experience?
