Mind you, he does make some good points...if jailbroke process was more difficult, i would label the iphone has a seriously gimped device...even with jailbreak, Apple should by now have provided most of that stuff...its unexplainable why they lock the potential of the iphone

@ares Yeah, he does make some good points, of which mostly all are valid. Surely Apple know by now the jailbreak process the Dev-Team have been going through for well over 18 months with 2 different devices, so if they really wanted to stop it for good, they would. In a way, they probably see it as a way to not have to bother writing the stuff themselves, and leave the door open for the hacking community!

@Vegetaleb, Just go for it dude, if you really didnt want the iPhone then you still wouldn't be weighing the idea up! It's obviously what you want... i say just go for it - you wont regret it when you've got it in your hands

Know what, I like the iPhone's camera, it's ready to use in a second and just points and shoots, nice and simple, exactly what you need in a phone. A flash would be nice but that's literally all I'd add, and even then I'd want to be sure that worked when it needed to without slowing anything else down.

5mp, autofocus, xenon flash - it all sounds great but I've never once seen a camera on a phone that delivered great picture quality worthy of all that and was fast and useable at the same time. Essentially the old truth is still true, if you want top quality pictures you carry a camera, anything else is for snaps.

And as for Steve, yes obviously some of his points are fair, but others are certainly coloured by an obsession with specs. For instance multitasking - he argues that because apps are closed on the iPhone, switching between them is slow. In reality that's nonsense. The iPhone's actually quicker at switching between apps then most "multitasking" phones I've used, due to better memory management and much lighter, faster apps, but like many people Steve ignores that in favour of the traditional view that multitasking = speed.

one thing i have to say is that internet connectivity is a must on a iphone 3G, if u cant get internet then maybe an iphone isnt the ideal phone for you

Yep i agree with that @NoKia ^^

As you have already mentioned @vegetaleb, Safari on the iPhone is a known data muncher. Going back a page will reload the data etc. And the fact that data charges for you are ridiculously expensive AND just for WAP...browsing on the go would be costly and painful
