Only 7? Have you seen how long the reciprocal list is?

Dave makes a valid point.

While the iPhone has its share of shortcomings and future expectations, other phones are also not perfect and have their fair share as well. The iPhone will continue to improve with age, I'm sure, so if people don't like it as it is now, there's always the next version.

The only real gripe I could see having is the cut and paste. All the other issues like cost, no turn by turn, no mms, no stereo blue tooth are all from day one. I uderstand the need for the all in one device, but there hits a point where its too much. For the phone's size, it does a hell of a lot that others don't do as well. I didn't have an iPod my my blackjack or the ability to play real 3D games using the built in accelerometer or an eazy to see and navigate internet portal....

I get it, some other phones have these options, but lets list all the options they don't have that the iPhone does, its a two way street.

And a 2.0mp camera, so what?!?!?! ITS A CELL PHONE, if you need/want to take serious pictures, BUY A REAL CAMERA!!!!!

Excellent list. The lack of flash support is crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Many of the points made here are misleading:

1.) Mobile Me is optional and its an option for both iphones so why is this a negative of the "new" iphone? Mobile me is not just an iphone service but instead replaced macmail with is actually a mac service that was extended to now include the iphone.

2.) GPS provides more functionality than the original iphone by locating where you are with the blue dot. So why is it's shortcomings looked at as why the new iphone sucks? That would be mean the old iphone sucks even more because it has even less functionality.

3.) There are actually two ways to tether your iphone 3g...first if its jailbroken use 3proxy and MobileTerminal together to create an adhoc wireless network. If its not jailbroken, the appstore (Yes, the apple appstore) was selling netshare which allows you to tether your iphone.

4.) All of the other shortcomings that are stated in the article we also not present in the 1st iphone. So again......this article is also talking about the first iphone.

To make a long story short.....this article sucks!

WM doesn't support flash either. I wish some of these complainers would buy a WM phone, it'd be funny to see the amount of complaints then. All smartphones have problems/bugs, the iphone just has less problems/bugs than all the others........it's true, go read a crackberry forum...
