Dear iPhone,
We’ve been together for a few months now right? We had a rocky start, but I’ll admit that you’ve grown on me. I’d like to think that we’ve shared some great times together. Remember that one time when you helped me prepare for my very first TPB presentation? Oh, and let’s not forget the hours of entertainment: Bejeweled, Scrabble and the QR code reader (What? I’m a geek.)
I just…I think we have a bit of a problem. There’s something that I really don’t understand about you and it’s beginning to affect our relationship. I try to look past your flaws, but I can’t beat around the bush.
Your auto-correct feature blows. There, I said it. I type NY and you want to put in BY. You don’t recognize words I’ve used hundreds of times and yet, when I type in firbig…you don’t correct it. I make obvious mistakes and you leave it. I combine words, because let’s face it your space button sucks, too, and you don’t fix it.
I really need you to step up your game. I bring my A-game almost daily and I expect the same from you.
I promise to plug you in soon and give you some juice. If you man up, there just might be a new app in your future. Maybe even a new case…
Sincerely,
Jenn

This is very funny. It reminds me of a break-up letter I wanted to write to my MacBook. A while ago I wrote a story about whether the 3G would beat out BlackBerry (http://is.gd/) but the truth is, while all my Apple products make me feel so cool, my BlackBerry has never given me any kind of trouble. (knock on wood!)

I’m loving mine a little bit less everyday because of things like this! I’ve been researching a replacement but I can’t seem to find anything else on the market that I like (I’m not really into BB). I eventually just turned off that feature b/c it was annoying me!

I think the auto correct thing is supposed to be updated in the new 3.0 version- one can hope! And they finally added picture messaging, which, I know the Apple people are pretty brilliant and all, but how the hell was that forgotten to begin with?!

I want your phone number not so I can be creepy and stalk you, but so I can text you “firbig”.

Aside from the glass front, this is exactly why I can’t have the iPhone! I am a dyed in the wool blackberry lover! I will admit the iPhone does have better apps. (Ok, I said it) (don’t tell anyone!)

I tend to avoid the whole autocorrect function concept completely. It’s why I like having a keypad to type on (qwerty style, naturally). It’s so much easier if I just do it myself.

One more reason I’m sticking with the blackberry for now. If only Mac would cave into providing an actual keyboard… I’d like to convert, I really would, but I text too damn much to have firbig be okay, unless that becomes the name of my next pet, which it very well may…

The day my iPhone stopped changing “fucking” to “ducking” was basically the greatest day EVER.

I want an iPhone so badly. I don’t know that I would mind that because on my regular cell phone I don’t even use the predicted text because it is never right.
