That's just not how it works.
On which other range of phones can you take a handset that's two years old and you
need to enable core functions...
If they did it
properly in the first place and added bluetooth support (they had the hardware in the device...), video capture and MMS, how many other phones need to be updated to have that?...
the "whinging" is entirely justified, and the reason that i will never buy into the Apple brand (unless they change their ways and produce something impressive for a decent price...)
