It is no doubt that iphone is very cool. My friend has it. However, I think the biggest disadvantage of iPhone is that it can not change battery. As it has many cool features, so its battery runs out soon. It is so inconvenient that you can not have a backup battery to change it.

I mean when the battery runs out battery, you have to charge it immediately. Otherwise you can't use the iPhone as you can't change another battery for it.

Can you not take the phone back to the store, and have them put a new battery in when the time comes? I can't change the battery on my watch either, but whenever it needs a new battery (I've had the same watch for about 10 years now) I just take it to a battery store in the mall, and get a new one put in.

I am not sure. But why not iphone designed like this? Why not just allow users to change battery as well as other phones?

the battery is easy enough to replace by o2, and anyhow most people will upgrade their phones at the end of the contract i know I do. Then the phone goes on ebay lol,

My hubby's office mate has an I-phone and so far, he hasn't mentioned anything about the disadvantage of it. And I guess, I still would want to have one coz of its many features... :)

But I think it's troublesome if the battery runs out and you can replace another battery for it. Perhaps it's especially inconvenient to have a travel.

The battery issue really does suck! After just being out of warranty, mine is about shot. 2 options, upgrade to new model or send the phone back to apple and pay $80 for new battery installed in it. Not sure which route I will go. Yes, the MMS thing sucks very badly also! You can't send pictures to anyone and if they send one to you, you have to log on to an ATT website and enter a username and password to view the photo. I pay $400 so I have to do this?? Also you cannot cut and paste with the phone, if you do that at all. But, I do think this is one of the coolest phones I have ever owned. I love the app store, which has 100's of apps for anyone and no matter what you want to do. Shut off the WiFi if you don't use it and you should see an increase in battery life.

But it seems iPhone becomes very popular. I don't understand why people buy it since it has such a big bug.
