There's only so little features left between iPhone and a smartphone: SOFTWARE: Web: No multi-tab browsing No text reflow No real web experience, most sites identify it as a phone No saving web pages for offline viewing (missing apps? buy them!) No streaming audio/video support (missing apps? buy them!) No Flash Slow JavaScript interpreter No disabling of JavaScript No instant messaging (missing apps? buy them!) No real push e-mail (it syncs from time to time draining a lot of power) HTML attachment issues File management: No downloading content for offline playback except through iTunes No accessing iPhone's folders by any means No Flash or Java native application support No DivX, XviD, FLV native video support (missing apps? buy them!) No ZIP or RAR support (missing apps? buy them!) No real office suite (missing apps? buy them!) Clumsy searching for both files and in-text (missing apps? buy them!) Connectivity: No videocall No VoIP support for Wi-Fi No tethering support/must pay extra to the carrier MMS shows the wrong sender number http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/i...r-number-poll/ A2DP (BT stereo) lags on videos (power-hungry cpu, useless!) AVRCP Bluetooth Profile - only some headsets work No supported services when pairing with MacBook No BT file sharing (BT almost useless!) Misc: No TO-DO app (missing apps? buy them!) No true multitasking support (power-hungry cpu, useless!) No video recording above VGA (power-hungry cpu, useless!) No apps developed for 3GS power-hungry HW, you might aswell use 3G (power-hungry cpu, useless!) iTunes treats free applications like purchases + FairPlay DRM wrapping HARDWARE: Screen: No precision at all on the touchscreen No adjusting for parallax (finger/screen offset) No feedback whatsoever 163 pixels per inch (decent monitors today have at least 200ppi & you're not holding them as close as a phone) Small resolution (320x480), stretched too much (3.5"), sometimes looks pixelized Dim in sunlight: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/...f404979442.jpg Power: Not enough (~1200MAX) mAh - smallest battery from it's cpu range/estimated value might be less No full day coverage with one charge No OS power optimization No USB charging without adapter No safety garment for the battery (swelling and cracking the screen from the inside reported) http://www.betanews.com/article/Appl...lem/1251474518 No warranty for the above Connectivity: No DLNA No HSCSD Slow HSDPA speed Strong frequency interference - poor audio - poor GSM/GPS signal Very high SAR value 1.4W/kg (above 1.6 subjects to risk of cancer) Non-standard headset jack (although it looks like one) Non-standard connectivity forces you to use overpriced accessories No IR Storage: No Micro-SD slot Not addressable as USB storage 256 SDRAM; why Intel? it's slow & they are far from other flash memory manufacturers. Media/camera: No stereo speakers /weak speakerphone and voicemail playback No radio No FM transmitter No hi-res camera sensor (less DPI than other 3mp phones); focus distance limited; no exposure control No ability to use 3RD party OCR on taken pictures No front camera No light sensor No flash Design: No sim ejecting without special key No removable battery (hard reset required if it gets stuck and you have to be a service engineer to reach the battery http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone-3GS/817/2%29) No typing on a table; it wobbles No kick-stand/standing on it's own for timed/group photo No hot swappable or expandable memory Not built by apple themselves As you can see iPhone is only missing some unnecessary features that only the haters would complain of! Yes! Well done Apple! Well done Steve Jobs! Buy iPhone, it's the best, Be a sheep, just like the rest!
