When iPhone 3Gs has been released to the market, many smartphone users were disappointed from the stupidity of the articles who said iPhone is the most advanced device. I went out to investigate whether iPhone is really a smart phone as stated.

Apple's smartphone

The user interface of Apple’s iPhone 3Gs is really spectacular. Clicking on screen is causing to very fast responding time thanks to the powerful processor that included in the smart phone. The iPhone comes with a built-in GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. In addition, this smartphone has a particularly impressive selection of applications.

Despite all the benefits of Apple’s iPhone 3Gs, I discovered some very significant disadvantages. These shortcomings significantly affect the iPhone because they included on every smart phone this days.

I didn’t expect to find that an advanced smart phone device like the iPhone 3Gs is missing an expansion slot. Card slot is the most basic feature for smartphones. Disadvantage of this method makes backup of data cumbersome. In addition, it is impossible to use the iPhone as a mass storage device. This feature is very important for smartphones to save the need for an external volume. It’s impossible to transfer files that aren’t supported by the device and you can transfer files only through the iTunes application.

After my investigation on the iPhone 3Gs, I really doubt if Apple created a smart phone or a toy. What do you say?
