Some features that are still embarrassingly lacking:* Proper bluetooth implementation - why cant we send and receive pictures with each other? Why does it not support stereo bluetooth?* Better camera - from the keynote it was obvious that the sample images they used must have been taken on some fantasy uber iPhone because with the current camera there is no way you could get that sort of quality.* MMS - Sure MMS is a costly technology compared to sending an email with attachments - but why cant I at least receive MMS messages natively without having to log in to a website?* Storage - 8GB and 16GB were a bit disappointing.Also amusing to note that BBC Newsbeat reported the device as thinner, because in the keynote it was reported as ?thinner at the tapered edges?, when actually it is thicker, and that it come with Sat Nav - when actually it comes with a GPS enabled map application, which although supporting directions isnt exactly the sophisticated Sat Nav like TomTom. (i don?t expect this out of the box, just annoyed to hear the BBC report so shabbily).Dan
