forums.macrumors.com — This is a hands-on report, and I really hope that they fix as many of these issues as they can!! Most people in the thread seem to agree wholeheartedly and Apple needs to release a patch... after which I, and others, will be very-very happy power-users. It's great feedback.

All this Apple iPhone bashing. Mine works and If didn't want it, Apple doesn't force me to buy it..

and that's why you never buy a product the day it comes out...*chuckles waiting for 3rd or fourth gen iphone*

None of this stuff matters if you have $600 to blow and not think twice about it. Worst case, if I get bored with it or something better comes out I'll buy that as well.

Normally I hate reading these "missing features" lists for the iPhone because I truly believe that most of the gripes about this phone are misplaced. The iPhone, although technically a smart phone, is not meant to replace your Windows Mobile or Blackberry handset feature for feature. It may have a similar price but I don't think they directly compete. Evidence of this is that my mom, who NEVER wanted anything more than a basic free phone, really wants an iPhone. That says something about the market for this device.With that said, this is a good list. It brings up several points that would affect someone like myself who might be in the market for an iPhone. I'd like email, web, contacts and a phone, maybe music. That's it. However things like not having a file system and not being able to use the phone as a Bluetooth modem would affect my decision to purchase an iPhone.Thanks for the list.

The iPhone has a "limited" feature set but aims to do what it does to a higher standard than anything else on the market. It aims to do enough to suit the majority of people and to dip a toe into the waters of the market. This thing is running OSX and they've announced they plan to update the thing. Give it more than a day!

Don't have an iPhone yet (the Old Continent has to wait y'know) but seeing the demo on the "intelligent completion" one thing just popped out: if you use the "spacebar" to accept the suggested correction, if you typed exactly what you want and got to the end of the word, but got a suggestion for something else (that you obviously don't want), how do you keep typing your message? It would seem that continuing normally (hitting space and starting the next word) would accept the correction and change what I want, forcing me to recorrect anything that isn't in the iPhone dictionary.Or does it automagically read minds too?

Sounds like there's a lot that needs work on the iPhone. But number six is absolutely inexcusable since it's not something that can be fixed in software!!!6. You need an adapter to use other headphones.The iPhone's earphone connector IS standard 1/8" jack... but it's recessed. You need an extender to plug in any other type of headphones. Apple's earphones hurt my ears so I have no choice but to lug around an antenna-like product from Belkin that cost an extra $10 and is easily lost. Lame.Now that is LAME, LAME, LAME!!!

There are more things that suck about the iPhone. Just read this piece on the topic: <a class="user" href="http://www.gadgetsthatsuck.com/index.php/2008/07/apple-iphone-overexposed-overhyped/">http://www.gadgetsthatsuck.com/index.php/2008/07/a ...</a>

Hey, at least you don’t have to buy a new phone for the updated version of it, like RAZOR. How many times they released that phone. Every time you have to buy a new one to get the latest version. What a BS.On iPhone, you don’t have to do that. Just wait few more weeks. Apple reads all these blogs too. They fix few things, you update your phone and you're done. Simple!!! How many phones can do that?And it’s a phone....don’t expect it to do everything you want. if there were no copyright laws for music, I’m sure apple could gave you access to iTunes via web on the phone.Don’t panic; look at the other things it CAN do.Regards,Ronnie WilliamsWireless Phone Gallery: The best source of all cell phone accessories and iphone accessories. <a class="user" href="http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com</a>

You can not deny the popularity of iPhone's accessories and it's applications. You just have to wait for while whether APPLE take action against these notifications.For the latest iPhone accessories just visit the <a class="user" href="http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com</a>
