What it lacks is just simple things that I like doing.
For example:
- If you want to delete a contact on the iPhone - you have to use iTunes.
- If you want to delete a picture on the iPhone - you have to use iTunes.
- If you want to use a ringtone on the iPhone - you have to use iTunes and pay once for the song, then another time to 'cut' it up.
- If you want to share photos with friends - you have to use iTunes.
It's just so restrictive that iTunes is the only thing that you can use to access the phone. And whilst it has a great web browser, without a wifi connection, it's useless - and most of the time people are on the move without access to wireless hotspots.
What about the lack of games, applications, and video recording? Sure you could hack the phone, but as it stands, the iPhone lacks so many 'small' things, that it would become frustrating to use.
I'd be waiting for the SE Maria...

For all the silly limitations the iPhone has, it should be called the iSuck.
I mean, a cellphone is all about doing things on the fly right? Lol, well why did Apple make it so all the editing is done with iTunes? Talk about convenience...
Anyway, now that I can dive deep into my K800i with FAR, my K800i is everything I need, and then some. I have the iPhone's menu icons and theme, so technically, I have a Sony Ericsson K800i iPhone

Have you actually used one for a few days?? I have one now and based on the current Se's available the solidness (if that's a word) and UI is just incredible, so much so that I can live with an average camera and no MMS. I agree that using iTunes to update your mobile is a pain to start but it is only a matter of getting used to it and then it becomes second nature, I get in of an evening in sync my phone as I’m on the PC and it’s no bother at all.
I'm going to say what's said in these forums millions of time over but level headed people....as long as you are happy with your choice of phone then that's all that matters. I'm sure you have totally different requirements from a phone than I do and therefore the iphone is not for you. But to string posts together saying isuck and the like is what really lets this forum down.
I have had SE's for the last 9 or 10 phones I've owned and can say that until now, for me there has been nothing to rival them.
Try using one for a week and I'd be surprised if you didn't fall in love with it, I was the same but until you try it you can't understand how unique the device really is.
Cheers

iPhone is just a peice of crap.Or you could just call it 'iCrap'.
Alan you said that the iPhone doesn't basically meet our requirements ? What do you mean , dude everyone wants to send/recieve files through bluetooth , have nice ringtones , and download games and applications , but iPhone doesn't let do any of these things , it does let us do something , and the only way to do those things is with iTunes . Apple has like restricted the phone , the only thing we can use is ITUNES...
Seriously Apple Sucks...

@rockerZ
The w960 is 'better' for you.
For me the most important thing is build quality, iphone does this very well.
I'm really happy for you all that the phone you have is the right one for you, the iphone suits my needs perfectly an therefore is the perfect phone for me.
I just don't understand why you guys can't come to terms that some people have diffent points of views then yours, is that so hard to understand???

iPhone is simply expensive for the features it has.
it looks "muy guapo", though.
i guess its a case of "all air" --- too much hype. if they can make it a little smaller and retain the big screen, put personal and customization stuff in it, and offer it along prices of similarly spec'd brands, then i guess i could be a convert in the end
"experience is relative."

cheers to everyone!

the iphone is slim, cool and etc but it is lacking the 'buy me' factor to me.

Comparing the two platforms OS X and A200, both have their incredible GUI performance wise. but A-series was now very matured and annually is improving in it's functions, OS X mobile must be developed further and it would take time.
honestly Itunes is Crap, i prefer windows media 11 and AIMP for media player.
