I think that device sucks!

-$500 - $600 bucks is really expensive for any phone
-AND you need to pay at least $60 a month for 2 years to AT&T for calls and data

-battery can't be changed (need to send it to Apple after 300-400 charges, and buy a new battery!)
-you can't remove the sim card (insane roaming costs)
-Memory isn't expendable, so you are stuck at 4GB or 8GB (Since flash memory is evolving really rapidly, that is very little: Samsung even released a 8GB MicroSD card not so long ago)
-No 3G support, Edge really sucks when compared to UMTS (I know I had both)
-The device doesn't have a flash, so the camera only works well outdoors
-it has a navigation system, but no GPS (manual position input)
-no stereo Bluetooth headset support

-you can't record videos
-You buy an unlimited dataplan but you can't use it as a modem
-you have a 'full' webbrowser, but your don't have Flash, Java, Real or Windows media support (and it is only 320x480 pixels, very little compared to the E90 or N800)
-You can't add any programs of your own: completely locked, only "Web 2.0"
-no bluetooth printing support
-no editing Word or Excel files (read only)
-no hand writing recognition (only a virtual keyboard)
-no MMS (I don't know anyone who uses it, but all other phones support it)
-no voice dialing
-no instant messaging/chat (no IRC, no MSN, no Ichat)
-No Voip over Wifi (no SIP, no Skype)
-no copy paste support

The Iphone is probably the most limited smartphone ever produced!
I agree that it does a lot of things well, but simply doesn't do all the other stuff.


I heard mixed messages about the text input. (it seems to work Ok)
And How is the screen? Is it transflective ? (I was under the impression that that wasn't possible with touchscreens). Does it work well outdoors? (The Prada can be difficult to read outdoors, as is the 770 and N800 is very bright sunlight, the N95 is perfectly visible in any condition)
