lol @ everyone who thinks that the iPhone is "all show and no go"..... BAHAHAHAH Jealous much???? Yeah, keep denying it, but, maybe one day you're broke ass can afford one.
If I wanted one I could afford one, that's not the issue. I think you're totally missing the point, but never mind.
This argument has been made millions of times, but everyone still seems happy to pay well over the odds to own a pretty large, bulky piece of bling. It's also incredibly frustrating to use if you wan't to do anything vaugely intelligent, if you can even do it at all. You can't change the battery or expand the storage - why? You have to jailbreak it to install any 3rd party apps, there's little (read no) choice of supplier, and their contracts are a total rip. The camera is also terrible (my E71's basic camera gets better shots) and for some reason, it has never had features you'd expect in a massively expensive phone until they release a whole new model, like voice dialling and exchange support. Also the firmware updates have been doing more harm than good, and it looks like you won't be getting mobile flash 10 support when everyone else does.
There's not an app for everything either, like one to stop you looking like a fool when you're playing with your iphone light sabre or paying through the nose to get the thing fixed when it inevitably goes wrong. Perhaps Apple should introduce those.

As you can see, I'm not a fan. Nothing personal at all though, it's the phone I hate, not you!
Oh, and before you say, I've used the phones loads of times, two of my family have them (and are still paying for them in the 24 month contract), hence why I have an opinion on them.
Don't get me wrong, the iphone has some nice points, like the presentation of the OS is swish (not that it's important to me in a phone) and at least apple have introduced MMS. The screen is very nice too, but the whole thing stinks of, 'let's make a phone and tick the main feature boxes and then sell the whole thing on marketing hype without making a decent finished product'.
Maybe that's the end of the rant now, sorry guys.
