Whether or not it does
the iPhone doesn't have MMS or ANY bluetooth profile except the headset / handsfree ones (not even A2DP!).

It has a crap camera.

It can't cut-and-paste.

It wasn't 3G- which coke's one may or may not have been (doesn't say). Which, given that my last 2 phones have been HSDPA, is pitiful for an "advanced" phone.

It is, however, reputed to have a very nice interface. Though this is more of a gimmick as you can't use the multitouch stuff without being incredibly dextrous or laying it down on a table/holding it in another hand.

Like he said, if this was 1999 it would have been a fantastic mobile. Even up to the mid 2000s it would have been good. But it was [far] too little too late.

It's got a good interface.
It has a decent web browser, the App store is pretty good, e-mail is decent and music and video are fine.

In short, it's a great mobile internet/multimedia tablet, but it's way too under developed as a phone.

Plus it uses iTunes, which is just a big NO. Buy an iPod Touch and an adult phone instead.

sort of
safari is dogshit. 30+ crashes A DAY. Reloads pages all the fucking time. Crashes a lot.

Ipod functions fine. Itunes is the root of all evil

No radio. No profiles. No profiles!!!! Its slow. The SMS app takes 30s to load (even with no messages).

Email is OK. interface is poor. Can do a lot with it though. File formats are weak. Not everything rotates - with no apparent reason why not. Some emails i cant actually read on the screen.

The GUI is lovely. Cheryl Cole is lovely but i suspect thats about it. The GUI i got bored wiht a few days in.

The appstore? Bullshit. Full of dogshit. 3 apps maybe worthwhile. The rest I have tried and deleted within seconds. Its a childrens phone.

iPhone = fail
Selling iPhone to a moron for profit = win

'nuff said.

I have an iPod Touch 32GB + a Nokia N82.
The N82 has software to turn it into a wireless hotspot, so the iPod Touch can get online whereever I am.

= All round WIN

I would like to point out I do not have an iPhone
I "borrowed" (read: nicked my dads while he was out of the country) one for a week, and after using that, I do concur with some of your points. Hence why I bought the Touch.

The only thing I'd disagree with is the App store. While most of the programs are utter shite, there are some fun games that while away the odd bus journey when I've forgotten a book.
