Why i wouldn't buy an iPhone?

Do you have an iPhone? if you don't have yet, you might want to read my write up. I wouldn't buy it because of the following reasons. Read what I wrote below... Yes, I am not an iPhone owner and I wouldn't be one unless the company improves the product. Here's why. A friend of mine owns one. She got hers in Hong Kong at $700 (roughly 35,000 to the Philippine peso) about a month after its release, being so up to date on the latest trends on gadgets. But when I asked her about this product's performance, she related that she is less than satisfied. Although I was really tempted with the product's sleek design, I decided not to make the purchase on account of the following reasons. iPhone doesn't have a "Forward" feature, which is needed for our businesses. We sometimes need to forward SMS so that we don't have to retype the whole message. But iPhone doesn't allow that, which makes it cumbersome for the user to write down a message and type the words all over again. At the same time, it doesn't include the feature "Send to many", which is common among regular mobile phones. This feature is very efficient because we can immediately send a message to a certain group of people, i.e. clients or employees, in just one click. For busy professionals and businessmen like us, sending the same message to at least five people can be very trying, especially if we are on the go, when we can only send it once through other mobile phones. And here's the hardest part. They have this automatic dictionary correction, which makes it hard for us to compose our messages. In our city, we mix the use of English and our vernacular in our messages. We also have unique shortcuts. So it is very hard to type in our messages without the dictionary correcting our spelling. For what it is worth, the iPhone is not for the Philippine communication setting. It may be cool for American consumers, but not for us. Hopefully these features may be corrected in the future and maybe when the second release comes, I may decide to check it out.
