iPhone's Inevitable Flaws |

Well, it's been said, I've said, and I've maintained that the iPhone is not a perfect phone.
I do like its huge screen, remarkably good battery life, and revolutionary interface. But, it has flaws which other manufacturers would be severely criticised for leaving out. It's shameful for such an expensive device.
Just look at the list:
- The fancy interface itself takes up 700MB of the internal memory. That's called bloated.
- There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text.
- No A2DP.
- MP3s cannot be used as ringtones.
Even low end phones from SE, Nokia and Moto can do that. Even the RAZR!
- Flash is only supported in the browser, no other types of embedded video files.
- A 2 megapixel, non-AF, flashless camera which can't record video.
No video is utter crap! And we complain about QCIF...
- No voice dialling or MMS or IM.
- Non-replacable battery.
- No EDGE or 3G.
Wi-fi does not make up for that.
- You can't buy songs from the phone. You'll need a computer for that.
- No games!
- The virtual keyboard doesn't beat the real thing - nor standard T9.
Reasons why I'd much rather the W960 or N95.

It is really for the business people...it is stylish but they make it productive...means it is for the people that really needs communication...it is not like SE, Nokia, Moto, Samsung, they customize the phone for the needs of the "young" people....iPhone is like a symbian for the people that really use there phone for business. But why is it really expensive? Touchscreen.
