its funny because all the "problems" stated in the first post of this thread were known features or lack there of , months before the phone came out. nobody to blame but yourself for thinking you were getting gods gift to pda's when it was never stated it was a pda at all. its a smartphone. its not a business solution its a multimeda solution . suck it up. should have done your research before you bought. i love the keyboard on mine , it senses if you type slang more than twice and adjusts its spell check accordingly. thats just ONE issue i will address for you.

i'm right there with you. i'm returning my iPhone. The keyboard is a little annoying, but yes, when you get used to it, you can deal with it. here's what bugs me... after 2 days. i had programs quitting on me, and throwing me back to the main page. No cutting and pasting is a bigger deal than i thought. the text messages look cool, but really not good, because i can't forward a message, and i can't send the same message out to multiple people without having to type it all over again. the email sucks, because i can't put any attachments. so if i wanted to email more than one picture, i have to do it one at a time. another pain. i made one phone call that was about 15 or 20 minutes, and my battery went from full to half. i really wanted to find reasons to keep this phone, but for the price i paid, i dont want a phone that's just "alright". I'll just see what happens when the next version comees out... i'll just be sure that i dont run out and get it the first day.

The email program is absolutely awful. Checking only 15mins...not being able to select multiple emails for delete...on top of that, having to then go into the Trash folder and AGAIN, delete one by one...no copy and paste...etc.

I dont think i am being picky. These are functions that PDA's have had for YEARS!!! Its like Apple decided to take a step backwards with the email program.

Additionally, the battery life sucks. Why its not removable is just stupid. Another way for Apple to make more money off us. $80 for a replacement once a year. Forget that!

The keyboard...not even going to get into it. If you have an iPhone, you know my frustrations. In todays world, we email and text in cyber-slang. Almost every email i have written, it has changed the word i meant for it to be, to something completely different.

I havent been waiting 5 months for this device...i have been waiting over 5 years, since the Newton, for Apple to come back out with a handheld.

Wasted time.

You are crazy, go get your cheap blackberry back. Its Been 2 weeks, of course there are going to be a few glitches off the launch. The first update will help a few of your problems. Settle down and give it a chance maybe.

What about no A2DP Bluetooth support
NO Bluetooth Headphone support to listen to music
No file download from the internet or save attachement
( I almost returned it just for that)
NO Sync with multiple computer
........

I keep mine it's too cute

It certainly has its negatives, but I like it a lot more than my pearl. BB email certainly puts this email to shame, but it will be made better in time.

I had the pearl for 2 months,,it was just ok, the iphone is much easier for my fat figners to use , and I can actually see the fricking thing!!haha anybody want to buy a fairly new pearl?

Suck it up?

SUCK IT UP!

YOU WILL join in and experience the Apple Reality Distortion Field, where the only reality is what we (APPLE) program you to believe.
You no longer have the right to think for yourself.
You are forbidden from being an individual.
You will defend Apple against, the "outsiders". Enemies, all of them.
Spew your venom!

Feeling challenged using your iPhone? Dislike some of the "Features"?

Suck It Up Bucko!

This IS the New Apple Slogan...
