I use it all the time, dunno about cost coz I'm on flex-t with t-mobile, so they are just absorbed into my monthly allowance.paolo999 said:

The inability to cut 'n' paste is what really confused me though, why on earth would such a fundamental feature not be implimented?

Not sure if I'd be prepared to spend £800+ quid and commit to a 18 month contract foe an admittedly stylish phone that can't even send out a SMS to more than one person at a time! Or take a video. Or send a MMS. Or cut'n'paste. etc etc
The browsers on every other phone I've ever used is shit and slow and pretty much a waste of time.
There is one thing you forget, Apple has been quite open to suggestion to their iPod for fixing issues and new features. The pod cast wasn't their idea, yet it got included into their software and iTunes.
Just because it can't do it now does not mean that it will not be able to do these things in the future. Apples track record pretty much tells me that you will soon be able to do most if not all of the things you suggest.

Yeah, but c'mon man - you can now actually add an event to the calendar!beesonthewhatnow said:

You can add something. To your calendar. On your phone.
Now that's thinking differently alright!

merde alors
All of the absurd ommissions - not being able to send texts to multiple recipients, cut and paste etc have been noted from day one and could easily have been fixed with the first firmware update, and yet still haven't.
I find there's a certain arrogance from Apple where they'll decide to take their own good time to fix something that consumers are asking for.
It took well over a year for the simple task of gapless playback on the ipod to be resolved...

But these are the basic thigns that should have been noted at the very first product design meeting, surely?dogmatique said:

The iPhone has had this capability for a while. I was using the Touch of an example of Apple listening to feedback.
But it comes down to this. If the iPhone doesn't meet your requirements then don't get it. If it does, then do. Its really up to each person whether they want to buy it or not...

But as far as I can see the only requirement it will meet for anyone is that of "I must have the latest hyped gadget to impress people with".
I'm not a blanket apple hater by a long stretch (my next machine is going to be a Mac, and the only reason I don't own an ipod is that I'm not exactly lacking in music playback options), but the iphone is a deeply flawed, overpriced and overhyped heap of fail.

And am I the only one who sees a company releasing lots of updates for a product not as one who is listening to customers, but one who has failed to design a product right first time?
beesonthewhatnow said:No MMS either, so you can use the camera to take a pic, and then, errrr, not send it to anyone
It's shite.
Don't give a shit about MMS - only used it once. Urgently need multiple-send SMS though. It's the only way I can organise a party - other than facebook.
