Here's something I guess that was obvious, but I never really thought about the impact of......
No MMS.

David Pogue made a comment in his photo slideshow about being able to take pictures with your mobile phone, and send them to your spouse. Yes, you can send photos in emails, but most phones can't receive those. I didn't even think of that. It's true, though. I've tried sending several photos via email to my cellphone, and it never works......damn...I dunno, man...I'm seeing WAY more negative points than good, now. Would it be possible for them to add MMS by a simple iTunes-downloadable software update?

you will be able to access this from your iphone safari browser and send pics to other cellphones that dont have email.

PixDrop.com is the first service with the ability to send free picture messages from your computer to your cell phone. We support Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and AT&T, formerly Cingular subscribers. We plan on adding additional carriers in the near future as we figure out how each carrier works. We hope you find our free picture messaging service easy to use and helpful when you need to get a picture from your computer to your cell phone.

Yeah, just read a comment on another board about how old and antiquated MMS is compared to mobile email. A valid point! I'm back on track, now. lol

My opinion on the EDGE speeds...

Your experience is going to vary, there is no way to completely judge the speeds across the board because there are way too many variables just like any wireless network.

Weather, Signal Quality, Environment "noise", and network congestion are a few that I can think of.

These all pose a problem in any wireless network and you just have to accept that you won't always have the perfect connection. Given time improvements will be made but that's not going to get me to wait. By the time 3G coverage is more available people will be saying the same thing "That damn slow ass 3G network!!!"

It's not like I plan on doing research and downloading torrents on my phone.. I just want to read the news and check sports scores, maybe chat with a friend on aim while I wait for a plane. Some people just expect too much.

That is assuming you can browse the filesystem on the iphone to attach a file via a web upload form. This capability has not been discussed as of yet. We'll see friday.

None of the cons of the iphone have been a dealbreaker for me. I knew most of then b4 they were even mentioned in the reviews. I'm still FULL SPEED AHEAD!

these reviews arnt bothering me either. all stuff i expected to hear. they reviews are actually better than i expected they would be

... i would almost guarantee, that they will update soon with the abilitly to take videos. we have youtube on the phone, they have to give us the ability to take our own videos, and then upload them to youtube right from the phone. mark my words, i really feel like they will fix that very soon. (which also means that browsing files while in the web browser would work, which means that pictures sending site would work)

i say within the month of july an update for the iphone will come out addressing most of the fixable complaints.

they also cant give us EVERYTHING on the first phone.. they have to give us something to look foward to in the next iphone. hah. they have to keep up the hype, which apple LOVES to do.

There is a video review from

USA TODAY's Ed Baig & Jefferson Graham

but I noticed that the iPhone display didn't turn off when he put it up to his ear. I thought Steve said it would to save power and that your face didn't make any inputs on it? I attached a picture of him.
