This should've been obvious to Sun from the SDK licensing terms from the start.

Roll on the 3g iPhone! Was playing with the current one yesterday at a local O2 shop, still impressed with it and can't wait for the shortcomings (lack of 3g, small storage space being the two biggest barriers for me) to be ironed out so I can get one!Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney claimed in a recent interview with iPod Observer that rumours in Asia suggest Apple are planning to include Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays in their upcoming 3G iPhone’s.
Dulaney suggests that Apple have recently ordered another 10 million iPhone’s but this time opting for models capable of operating on the 3G.
In addition to 3G support, the new devices will also include OLED displays which provide significantly more power efficiency than the current backlit LCD displays used in all of Apple’s current products, as well as being much thinner.
1. Huge, limitless memory expansion. If you run out of storage on the phone you can carry around extra cards with films, MP3s, work stuff etc etc.Why does the memory card slot matter?

1. 16GB is pretty big for a phone no?
2. Fair comment but iTunes covers what I need transfered
3. Not difficult to get round, what would you want to swap??
4. Fair comment
5. You can email from phone. Shit camera anyway.
6. iTunes backs your phone up.
I've never used a memory card in any other phone, I've always just plugged it in the USB if I want stuff off it.

Point 2 renders the iPhone completely pointless for you then
And if you're not at home?The memory card thing's surely a total non-requirement for most users though. 16gigs plenty of memory and the thing's designed to be regularly charged and synced with a home computer - it's still about the pc/mac as a digital hub..
Unlikely that the 3G phone would be ordered in such quantities without FCC approval. (It is possible though that Apple signed a contract though for 10 million phones over a year, pending FCC approval of a design).
Btw, which phones have > 16 Gb storage space...?
3G will be nice when it comes along, but won't be a universal panacea since there were times on the weekend when I was being pulled back to GPRS speeds...
And if you're not at home?
Shame they don't appear to have plans to iron out the two huge shortcomings of no memory card slot and no removable battery.

Quite a few actually, thanks to new SDHC cards offering 16/32GB and above (as they're developed). And, of course, the storage is limitless by swapping cards.I'm not arguing it may not be desirable, I just don't feel restricted without one. 16GB is quite a bit, what other phone has that much? (n95 is getting close)

It is if you're keen on movies and MP3 files. In fact, weren't you were always banging on about how you wanted to carry all your movies around with you? So what happens when you run out of space on your new iPhone?16gigs is restrictive!?
