Okay iPhone users, level with me here...
How is it really?
I've gone through all the websites with reasons not to buy and was wondering how inconvenient it is to not be able to:
* Send MMS (Picture messaging) - Can do it via email but thats pretty much only useful if the person you're sending it to has a BB, or a Treo. No good to me, none of my mates have these.
* No third party apps - So by what I've read you can only install apps from the iPhone store. So this would incude no flash games aswell? Pretty inconvenient if you ask me, but if thats what is needed for system stability then so be it I suppose.
* Itunes to sync - I HATE iTunes.... WITH.....A.....PASSION! Wont be needing to sync anything business related (contacts, calendar etc.) as thats not what I'll be using it for but just the fact that Itunes has to be used to load music. BAH!
* 2MP camera withno zoom and no flash - What is that about? The Nokia's are coming out with 5MP plus these days and Apple can't do a flash. Not a biggie but I like a little recent technology in my gadgets and figured a decent camera with zoom and flash wouldn't be hard.
* The battery ordeal - Can't replace the battery if it dies without sending it to Apple. WTF?
* Limited bluetooth - Can you even connect this thing to your computer?
Also as an aside, does anyone know of any plans by Apple to launch a 2nd generation iPhone which combats most of these problems?
Thanks guys
LH
