God, I Hate This F'king Phone! I Hate You Steve Jobs!!!

[TommyLee]

It's STEVE'S fault for being a Nazi.
I'm typing on my keyboard and out of nowhere, the delete button decides to get stuck. I watch in horror as my paper vanishes, letter by letter, whilst franticaly wiping the screen with my iKlean. I get it to stop and start re-typing my paper and it does it again!

Can I get it back? No, I don't have a Control button or an undo command. In fact, I can't do ANY commands. I just take it up the ass.

I hate you Steve.

[Tallest Skil]

Is there the equivalent of Command+Z on any smartphone?

[TommyLee]

Is there the equivalent of Command+Z on any smartphone? are there any smartphones with a digitizers that get stuck?

[grooveattack]

why the hell were you writing a paper on your iphone?!?!

[Daveecee]

why the hell were you writing a paper on your iphone?!?!

Um, yeah. This.

[Tallest Skil]

are you serious? i just lost 3 page paper. how is that irrelavent?

why the hell were you writing a paper on your iphone?!?!

That's the relevant part. It's a fricking phone. How were you going to print it? Why would you do anything of any importance on a phone?

Answer the question or your anger is horribly misplaced.

Nice job changing your argument, there.

[TommyLee]

why the hell were you writing a paper on your iphone?!?! cause there's a little thing called Notepad and a little thing called a Keyboard.

That's the relevant part. It's a fricking phone. How were you going to print it? Why would you do anything of any importance on a phone?

Answer the question or your anger is horribly misplaced.

I hate fanboys...

and it's more than a phone, it's an mp3 player and a powerful communications device. you heard Steve. My agers directed right at the source.

[synth3tik]

Yup, Steve's design Nazism is the reason why the delete key sticks.:rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong I hate my phone too.

[grooveattack]

cause there's a little thing called Notepad and a little thing called a Keyboard.

there is also two little things called pages and a full sized keyboard. Again, why would you write a paper on your iphone?

[Bernie-Mac]

It's a fricking phone. How were you going to print it?

Email?

[Tallest Skil]

I hate fanboys

Fine, then.

USE M$ OFFICE WORD.... it has undo/redo...

Of cuzz since iphone is just a toy full of fart apps....he should have known better not use it for anything other than making fart noises...

writing paper on iphone..pfffttt pleasssuuusssseee

[Daveecee]

I hate fanboys

Sorry, but that guy is in no way being a fanboy. He's right in asking why you would type a paper using Notepad on the iPhone with no real practical way of printing it. Did you also know that notepad is for taking notes? omg mind blown

[Bernie-Mac]

pfffttt pleasssuuusssseee

Pleasuse? Ive written little 2 page papers on my iPhone before and its fine for me:confused:

[TommyLee]

USE M$ OFFICE WORD.... it has undo/redo...

Of cuzz since iphone is just a toy full of fart apps....he should have known better not use it for anything other than making fart noises...

did you hear about that app with the shaking the boobs? all the fanboys got it.

I have no idea whether or not you're on my side.

did you hear about that app with the shaking the boobs? all the fanboys got it.

Your ill-informed vendetta is at an end due to a lack of intelligence. That app was never released, therefore, no one but the creators could have gotten it.

[DYER]

Is there the equivalent of Command+Z on any smartphone?

yes there is.
I use a Nokia Communicator and it uses standard back comands as well as a menu system for back.
Most smartphones do including sony ericssons P series and most Touch screen smartphones not too shure about blackberries though.

[Bernie-Mac]

Sorry, but that guy is in no way being a fanboy. He's right in asking why you would type a paper using Notepad on the iPhone with no real practical way of printing it.

There actually is, email it to yourself and print it when you get to a computer. Or better yet, use HP's new App Store app that lets you wireless print on a compatible printer. Or is that too mind-bottling?

[TommyLee]

Sorry, but that guy is in no way being a fanboy. He's right in asking why you would type a paper using Notepad on the iPhone with no real practical way of printing it. Did you also know that notepad is for taking notes? omg mind blown fanboy mentality is that it's perfect and do nothing but defend, no matter what it is. that what he's doing, so he's a fanboy.

And this can go way deeper. WAY deeper. There's thousands of people that post here, who are told that their problem is not really a problem.

If he can't figure out what to use a Keyboard for, then all is lost. Put a keyboard in front of me, I'M GOING TO WRITE WITH IT. And I'm going to write and write and write some more because it's f'king keyboard! INSIDE A PHONE!

Remember it was fanboys that said Apple was fine without a phone on their product line. maybe they were right.
How do people get so blinded by a stupid little logo?

[Phil A.]

Is there the equivalent of Command+Z on any smartphone?
Yeah, Windows Mobile has CTRL-Z or undo from the edit menu pretty much in any app.

Fine, then.

Open Address To Everyone: Attention anyone with a Windows Mobile or Palm OS smartphone... would you write a three-page paper that had any work-related importance on your phone? Respond here.


I have written and edited work related reports on a windows smartphone before when it was all I had on the train and a report was needed urgently. It's not something I'd want to do regularly but at the time it was a life saver. I wouldn't want to do it on a phone without a real keyboard and no word processor, though

[Daveecee]

and it's more than a phone, it's an mp3 player and a powerful communications device. you heard Steve. My agers directed right at the source.

Phone... check
MP3 player... check
Communications device... check

Would I write a paper with any three of these? Phone... Hmm, I could write a paper in a series of text messages. But that would be ridiculous. MP3 Player... No, just not really possible. Communications device... Doable, but practical? No. But then again I suppose I have yet to write a multi-page essay within emails to myself. Maybe I should try this out before I knock you for it?

.... Naaaaahhhhhhhhhh. I'll stick with a computer.

[gkarris]

I've heard of some guy who wrote a whole book using a Blackberry, then sent it to the publisher with it... :eek:

How does a touchscreen key get "stuck"??? :confused:

Merry Christmas! (or Happy Holiday Season)... :)

[Daveecee]

There actually is, email it to yourself and print it when you get to a computer. Or better yet, use HP's new App Store app that lets you wireless print on a compatible printer. Or is that too mind-bottling?

Okay, so I was wrong in that there is no practical way to print the paper. That does not change the fact that typing a paper on the iPhone with the Notepad app, which is hardly a word processor, isn't practical.

[Tallest Skil]

I have written and edited work related reports on a windows smartphone before when it was all I had on the train and a report was needed urgently.

Good, we have a real response with a valid reason. Now, was the OP pressed for time? Did he not have access to a real computer? If so, it is understandable that he would choose to write his paper on his iPhone and regrettable that his button got stuck.

If he wrote it in Notes, there would have been an easy alternative that would have saved at least some of his document; composing it directly in E-Mail. There would have been a draft saved and he could have force-quit to the main menu, saving whatever the last draft copy contained.

[Hawkeye411]

Woot!! Apple!!
:d

[Tymmz]

Don't listen to all the nonsense.

I feel your pain. I was writing an email and when I wanted to delete a couple sentences the delete button got "stuck" and the whole message disappeared in front of my eyes.

Horrible when such thing happens.

[TommyLee]

I have no idea whether or not you're on my side.



Your ill-informed vendetta is at an end due to a lack of intelligence. That app was never released, therefore, no one but the creators could have gotten it. YOU DON'T GET A DAMN THING, DO YOU?

It's not about the App being released, it's about the concept. The concept of 1000's of stupid app toys. Or course I'm not on your side, you're saying my "problem" is only because I'm stupid and I should have never attempted to use my keyboard on my phone and that I'd be better off like a good little fanboy shaking boobs. GET IT NOW?

[akbc]

LOL!

as a phone mania, I've owned a lot of phones and smartphones.

Even with my last HTC TyTN II with full QWERTY keyboard and actual MS Office built on it, I have NEVER used it to write an imporatnt 3-page document on it. [edit: that I would CRY about and blame Steve Jobs for... nothing.]

And there's is a reason why Apple calls it a NOTEPAD not iWork Nano/Mini/iPhone. It's meant to be a small quick-and-easy way to jot down things instantly.

Knowing Apple, if they made the Notepad to be a real office-grade app, they'd call it iWork Mini or something. You know it, I know it, we all know it.

And yes, it is definitely Steve Jobs' fault for gettin that delete key stuck due to a digitalizer failure! DAMN YOU STEVE. UGH.....
what a joke.

Anyways, I love my iPhone, but not so much where I would trust for an important 3-page note-taking software. I don't even trust my AspireOne for such important stuff. It is a PHONE, not a laptop.

[Daveecee]

Or course I'm not on your side, you're saying my "problem" is only because I'm stupid and I should have never attempted to use my keyboard on my phone and that I'd be better off like a good little fanboy shaking boobs. GET IT NOW?

Umm, he was directing that post at someone else (wondering if they were on his side)... Hence why he quoted... someone else... :confused:

[Tallest Skil]

Or course I'm not on your side,

I wasn't asking you.

you're saying my "problem" is only because I'm stupid

Nope.

and I should have never attempted to use my keyboard on my phone

If there were other options available.

and that I'd be better off like a good little fanboy shaking boobs. GET IT NOW?

I could have sworn that a lack of familiarity with the opposite gender was characteristic of a computer nerd...

[kixsand]

This thread is ridiculous.

The OP's anger is clearly misplaced. He should feel like an idiot for writing a paper on a phone. End of story.

darren

Tell me which paid app is #1 at the App Store.

[Tallest Skil]

"I have an iPod. Can I ride it to work?"

I agree that... that... app being first on the Store is a travesty, thank you, and, while it shouldn't be deleted, necessarily, it shows how well the media can hype things.

You make a great phone but you ***** it up with not natively implementing basic functions of a cell phone and computer.

I can't wait until Apple products are riddled with viruses. They are just begging for it.

I have AT&T service and I still want to unlock my phone.

I like the phone but seriously!!!!!

[TommyLee]

bla bla blaget out of my thread you f'king troll.

[dukebound85]

get out of my thread you f'king troll.

pretty sure that comment along with your other posts will earn you a time out or a ban

hope you had fun while it lasted

[Tallest Skil]

get out of my thread you... ...troll.

There's an "Ignore" button if you don't like my posts, thanks.

[cenetti]

OP!

Iphone is not a SMARTPHONE....it's a flashlight/fart machine...
not a word processor....

I suggest you to get a "windows mobile" with "office mobile"......


and no! I ain't being sarcastic...


"looking for a cheap HTC HD, so I can dump iphone" ;)

[TommyLee]

"I have an iPod. Can I ride it to work?"

Again, none of those are word processors, are they? :rolleyes:
Like another poster said, you should have written it in an email so it would be saved as a draft. If you had no other options available to you than your iPhone, writing it in an email and either sending or saving it periodically would have been better.

[klagermkii]

Good, we have a real response with a valid reason. Now, was the OP pressed for time? Did he not have access to a real computer? If so, it is understandable that he would choose to write his paper on his iPhone and regrettable that his button got stuck.

He may just like having something small and convenient to type on. The iPhone's nice for typing in bed, or if you're writing a paper and waiting for inspiration, you can add a couple of extra paragraphs whenever you think of new ideas. There's no reason he has to somehow justify using the iPhone to type longer documents. It's supposed to be able to do that since it's targeting "business-class email".

Well then...

Nobody's told me what the number one paid app is yet... Do you not know?

[Eric Isaacson]

Yeah, before I got to the end of the thread and saw that you had I reported him I did twice as well. Once for his language in the thread title which is completely inappropriate.

[Tallest Skil]

tommylee, youve been reported, twice, by me for making insults/personal attacks to tallest skill

you need to calm down and calm down now

I'm just going to ask this now: Am I too forward when I tell people the truth?

Seems that every time this happens, people blow up in response to my comments and wind up banned or in Time-Out. I'm certainly not trying to goad them into rule-breaking retorts, so should I feel bad that their actions get them into trouble?

Like another poster said, you should have written it in an email so it would be saved as a draft. If you had no other options available to you than your iPhone, writing it in an email and either sending or saving it periodically would have been better.

Thank you.

Yes, it lacks some basic functions that my old-ass WinMo smartphones could do.
I understand your frustration, but.

While it isn't really the "official" way, there are ways to record videos, unlocking it just using software and so on.

And instead of yelling, swearing and accusing falsely of people who's in for a debate being a "fanboy", we can spend this time to ask and wait for those features to come. With enough voices and actions, we all know it will.

The reason there's a "forum" is to engage in a debate, share the knowledge and agree/disagree in a very nice manner. However, the OP here just wants to express his rage in such a public forum. If he posted something like this at a place like MacRumors, he obviously just started this thread to pick a fight or something. And now with the lack of intelligence of his, he is starting to blame and accuse those who just expressed their opinions on this matter.

And I honestly don't think using F words would bring his papers back. Very inappropriate.

[Daveecee]

Well then...

wOw shouldn't try to correct spelling then.



For knowing so much about the iPhone's features, this amuses me, as it's actually quite good at correcting my spelling when necessary.

[mkrishnan]

This thread is a waste of bandwidth. I'm being generous here.

Enough.
