mrgadget.com.au— Now that I’ve had time to incorporate the iPhone 3G into my daily regime, I’ve ratified my most annoying things about it into the following 10.

I really dont understand this MMS thing. It's like complaining that the iPhone lacks a morse code keyswitch. MMS sucks! It only really reliably works with 2 phones on the same carrier (and even then it doesn't always work). This is the 21st century. We have email.. we can upload pictures directly to twitter, flickr, loopt, or nay number of other services.. we can stream live video from our phones (well.. at least we will be able to when Qik releases their software).. it's time we stopped using MMS already.

Not even close, here are a few things the iPhone is missing; Multimedia Messaging. Copy & Paste. Real actual keyboard, not an onboard keyboard that you have to stare at like a retard to type. Instant messaging. Voice dialing. And the worst part about the iPhone are the fanboys behind it.
UPDATE: My Verizon Blackberry dropped its first call today. While there is no excuse for a dropped call, I still believe Verizon service is superior to AT&T (at least in Los Angeles). On average, the iPhone would have dropped 6-8 calls during this same time period. Thus, I'm still happy with my decision.

Its very simple: it costs a lot of money and feels like a 5 year old phone to use.
