iPhone. News and Tips

We’ve already written about the good stuff in 2.0: Part I, Part II, and Part III.

And now the time has come to tell you all about the bad stuff, such as:

1. Longer loading time. This happens probably because of the software size.

2. Multiple mistakes in Russian localization. We’ve discussed this many times. So, let it be. Those who worked on it should be ashamed.

3. Outlook import screws up your contacts. I had to fix everything manually.

4. Something I haven’t quite expected. I’m on the tub,e listening to music. I open my favorite Texas Hold’em. The music stops! Same thing with many other games (Monkey Ball, Crash Bandicoot and Putt Putt Golf at least). If they think this is the right way, they are mistaken. This is a bug. You should be able to turn off the game’s sound, not the other way around.

5. If you try to make some changes to file structure, your phone will become slow.

6. Auto-correction feature (and the cure) is described here.

7. The non-dynamic bar in contacts isn’t good either. Latin letters were added, and I personally don’t need them.

8. The weather function isn’t working properly. I couldn’t add Murmansk. The system just doesn’t find it. By default there are two cities: Moscow and Pushkin. I don’t get why Pushkin is there.

9. If you have over 1000 SMS messages, you’ll find yourself spending minutes scrolling and managing them.

10. Prefixes problem (iPhone does not recognize the 8).

11. If I’m playing a game (that has music) and turn off the phone using the top button, the music doesn’t stop. Chopper game, for example. I think it’s a bug in the game, not in the software, but if you look at the above-mentioned stuff, you won’t be surprised if it is.

If you have something to add, feel free to do so in comments. I’ll write an angry letter to Jobs so he’ll be more attentive next time.
