By all accounts the Iphone is a triumph of marketing of a crappy
phone. Did not do well in the Gadget Show - rubbish pics and no
video. Might work as a phone though!!!

And the media and expectation was that the iPhone was going to be the best
phone out there! Im glad I didn't wait for it. Anyone who wants one is
welcome to it !!
Aparently the following is true:
No vibrate alert
No battery removal is possible (unable to swap battery)
No video record
Crap camera with only 2mpixel and no autofocus (no flash??)
Does anyone else want to add to the 'won't do' list??
There must be other things its failing on too.....

From what I've seen, and from playing with an iPod 'Touch' which I think
uses the same UI. The interface IS very nice, slick and intuitive. Not
nearly enough to convince me to buy one though.
It's not enough being able to tell it to do things in a fancy and stylish
way. It has to be able to DO those things well, and from what I have read,
it doesn't!

The iPhone may be limited compared with other phones but a) it's
designed to be usable and b) it's designed to incite hatred from the M$
fanboys.

No 3G.

Don't think it has a GPS either.

It's a minimum 18 month contract to get the iPhone on O2.

Hopeless - a feature for 15 years (Motorola Elite).

Utterly hopeless - if the phone can't be opened with tools then it is dead
when the battery fails.
a feature for > 20 years (many makes), but early Technophones couldn't.

less of an issue for me, but obviously if you have just paid £££ for
supposedly the most advanced gadget phone in the world you are going to be
dissappointed with this result.

2Mp OK, but no focus [zoom, light or flash] - tch! F ratio and ASA
equivalent?

No third party applications - prioprietary only.
Can't unlock [yet]
Poor data rate.
Decent deal with O2, because O2 has to revenue share on calls*

Usable to who ?
Its features are desperately lacking. What it does have is way out of date.
Hmm .. but it does have the neat touch screen ... which will soon be covered
in finger-prints and earwax ;o)
> and b) it's designed to incite hatred from the M$ fanboys.
Nah ... it'll just be hated.
> It will be a roaring success on both counts...
I predict it'll bomb.
It's an over-priced, over-hyped sack of crap. Not helped by Apple locking it
to O2. So those wanting an unlocked handset will either have to run the
guantlet of risking the handset being locked when they try to unlock it. Or
they'll just buy it from France at the end of November.

From what I saw of it, the Nokia won because it was easier to send a
text on the Nokia whilst bouncing on the end of a bungee cord.
Nothing like a real-world useage test, eh?

The Gadget Show always does nothing like a real world test.

It also got a kicking on Working Lunch, when compared with the N95
due to poor texting and camera.
However, they then went on to say they wanted a phone without all the
extras anyway.

So they wanted an out of date phone with a price tag of £259 (?) plus an 18
month contract.
I'm going to assume the £259 is the stupidity tax ;o)

Sorry, I wasn't clear.
They dismissed both phones and produced some large, ancient 'flip'
phones that must have been 5+ years old.
I think(?) they were joking.
