Who the fuck wants an iPhone? Here's a list of stuff it DOESN'T HAVE.

1. Songs as Ringtones
2. Games
3. Any flash support
4. Instant Messaging
5. Picture messages (MMS)
6. Video recording
7. Voice recognition or voice dialing
8. Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
9. One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)
10. 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA)
11. GPS
12. A real keyboard
13. Removable battery
14. Expandable Storage
15. Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)

Apple and the iPhone release is analogous to Sony and the PS3. Sony announced that they could release a total piece of shit that doesn't even play games, call it a PS3, and still sell millions because of fanbois. Apple is releasing a steaming pile of shit and all the fanbois are going crazy over it. Same scenario, different company/product.

just got mine in and got it working.
activation through itunes was a breeze. i wish all phone activation was as easy.
my first impressions are positive. it's the prefect size. any bigger and it would be bulky. any smaller and it would be clumsy.
the touch screen works smoothly, with the exception of fingerprints.
the texting keyboard is a bit small but easy to use and i've had probably about 90% success rate. i think i type faster on it than i did on my blackberry pearl. i'll get better with practice.
i haven't had a chance to put pictures, videos, or music on it yet. but the youtube, weather, stocks, and maps app work flawlessly.
the safari internet is nice. the edge network is a bit slow, but withstandable. i don't browse the net much on my phone anyway.
one thing is i can't seem to figure out how to turn the phone to all vibrate. i'm sure there's a way, i'm just being retarded.
overall... A-

yeah, not sure if you've used a touch screen phone before, but you will find yourself rubbing it on your shirt all the time heheh.
