    The first 2 comments are priceless. Typical Apple fanboys:

    Songs as Ringtones - don't need them.
    • Games - Yes it does. It has Safari.
    • Any flash support - It has Safari which supports standards. Flash is not a standard.
    • Instant Messaging - Two words: AIM Express in Safari.
    • Picture messages (MMS) - E-mail.
    • Video recording - Already have a camera.
    • Direct iTunes Music Store Access - Safari.

    Songs as ringtones: which phones will let you use your full MP3s as ringtones?
    Instant Messaging: iChat?
    Picture Messages: attach e-mail? isn't this in the commercial?
    Video recording: confirmed it's not the
    I thought safari was a browser not a game hey ho.

    And songs My se w850 phone lets me have a full song as a ring tone

    8Gb SD cards are alreasy available, sdhc cards to be precise... the US version of the iPhone is only 2G, the european version is expected to be upgraded and have better features and be 3G, so for once us over here in the UK might actually come out better off...

    im a mac user, and an apple fan, but i do think that the iPhone first version will probably suck, there are quite a few key features missing...

    it'll be more expensive over here though, so it makes up for it
    plus, 18-months is now the standard contract for a phone. personally, i preferred a year, but will this phone take it to 2 years? i hope not...

    You'd be right. Don't expect to play any Flash games on the iPhone Safari though

    As does my lowly Nokia 6230i. Such a silly omission.

    Before you go all fuzzy and embarrasing on everyone buying that <language mate> of a mobile, i think you should see this website on the said item.!

    While I agree this is a lacking feature compared to current mobiles. I couldn't be happier to not have to listen to crap tunes played every 30 seconds as peoples phones go off.
    It is Inevitable.....

    agreed. if only they could develop some sort of neural transmitter that was tied to the person who owned the phone, that way we wouldn't have to listen to any crap ringtones!

    I've been known to surgically implant a hammer in someones head if the ring tone is annoying and too frequently used.

    Does that count ?

    It doesn't appear to just be songs though, it looks like it's any mp3 etc. I realise it's a personal preference thing, but I far prefer the sound of the mp3/aac/whatever tones than the midi nightmares we used to have to put up with. Especially if you take into account those who don't change their ringtones ever, the aac version of the Nokia tune (piano version) is immeasurably preferable to the original non-polyphonic screech which used to punctuate bus journeys...

    The iPhone looks srubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishy, but that's about it. My main problem around it is that it really is being marketed as if it's some kind of incredible leap forward whereas in reality it's a good couple of years behind comparable models features-wise (no A2DP on a "music" phone! No 3G on an "internet" phone!). I can't imagine why anyone would want one unless it's for the looks, and even then I'd put the Prada, one or two of the Samsungs and a couple of the other LGs ahead in that department.

    3G should be an addition to the european model apparently.
    AT&T upgraded their EDGE network to Fine-EDGE so users are seeing data-rates of upto 220kbits. This is more than enough to render a website.
    The i in iphone doesn't stand for internet also. At no point in time, has this phone been marketed as an internet phone.
    If you could tell me a use for A2DP, i'd be grateful

    Well blue tooth headphones work a lot better with A2DP.
