Om man nu ska tro på detta så kommer den även att få MMS.
I'll reply to each comment inline. I know from an Apple employee very close to the project the following info, Unless otherwise stated each reply to your points refers to a software update that will happen, through iTunes sometime shortly in the future.
1. Bluetooth is ONLY good for connecting a headset. That's it.
This will change, when they add in the filebrowser system
2. There is no file browser on the device at all. Data must be organized (if at all) in the appropriate application.
Filebrowser is coming, and it will be Leopard Style (apple's next OS) Complete with coverflow view, spotlight, and different ways to browse, even network shares
3. The camera is a simple application that has ONE button: the shutter. Pictures come out okay on the device, but nothing too fancy on a monitor, especially if it was an attempt at a macro shot.
This app will see an update with image stabilization, as well as iPhoto like (adjustment controls) for adjusting images, INCLUDING photos already on the system As well as Photobooth fun effects coming soon!
4. SIM card is damn near impossible to open, if at all. I didn't look into it extensively.
It's designed to be seamless and not wear out, it's actually quite easy to take out. Just stick a paperclip in the hole on top, and push.
5. Web browser is slow, even over WLAN. Even the simple OneList web app that
was created takes around 20 seconds to load over WLAN.
The web browser flies for me and all the iPhones I've used, were you browsing a busy site? This is very wierd, check how many tabs you have open. Loading an image gallery i have with 300 thumbnails on one page, was less than 2 seconds.
You can not highlight, cut, copy, or paste and text from a website, and you can not save any images you find from a website either. Copy, Cut, Paste is coming when they add in the filesystem I mentioned above so as to have a place for you to browse into the filesystem and see your clipboard.
The only nice thing about it is the tabbed browsing, which crashed on me when I went to Engadget and YouTube on two tabs. I'm really curious if you can make it crash again, because I haven't had any problems. Very strange. I have 3 models at my house, no problems, and I test XHTML + AJAX for my job so I've been really, really hard on the browser. If you know steps to make it crash everytime let me know, I'll submit it to apple through my developer account.
This is the only application that allows you to use the keyboard in landscape mode.
Widescreen keyboard will be coming to all apps shortly
6. The keyboard sucks. It gets slightly better after the iPhone "learns" you, as the employees said, but even then, it's not a device you can use with one hand comfortably, much less without looking.
I really hated the keyboard at first, I mean HATED it, so much so that I thought I wouldn't be able to use it. Widescreen is much better, but what really helps is using a rubber case around it. Lets you grip the sides much better for two handed typing. Trust me, it's learning from you, not just from suggested words. Keep using it and force yourself to type fast, go into notepad, and say a phrase you want to type, then just type it as if you didn't care if every word was spelled wrong. You'll notice it actually improves your typing quite a bit. Also don't try to hit the keys right in the center. At first I was always trying to hit the key dead center everytime making sure not to overlap on the keys next to it. Then I decided to just hit them with my whole big fingertip, it's MUCH, MUCH better this way. So much in fact (i have HUGE fat fingers) that I can type on it faster than my motorola Q in a day. Remember it figures out when typing which key you are most likely to hit next, and makes the HIT area for that key slighly wider (not visibly) before you hit it. So when I am typing "going" and overlap partially on the P key it knows that to make O key allow for more error and overlap because most likely you aren't typng a "P" after G. Trust me Apple says to use it for one week. Even walt, who is a bigtime blackberry user, hated it, and thought it would never work, but after two weeks with it he says he's faster on it than his "real" keys blackberry, and would rather type on the iPhone on screen keyboard. That says a lot when a 60 year older person says that. I know they keyboard is frustrating now, but force yourself to keep using it everyday for a week, and see how it goes. You'll find out it's much better than you think
7. You can only send one picture at a time in an email.
again attachments to emails will get changed once the filesystem is in place
8. No custom ringtones (yet, as we were being told) and the alert tones can not be changed whatsoever.
Alert tones, and custom ringtones are coming very soon, will be in iTunes shortly, including a nice little app to trim them, and use your existing songs
9. The default ringtones are incredibly lame.
Again, getting fixed soon, just hang in there a little longer, trust me it will be SOOO worth it.
10. The only form of customization outside of a lame default ringtone is the wallpaper, which you'll only see when you need to unlock the device or when you get a phone call.
This will get changed when the filesystem gets added. Apple is going to even going to add several built in theme colors, like OS X has for switching between color styles. And soon the wallpaper (after they update the leopard issue with widget text being white) will let you set background (they just are working on the code so that the text will always be readable for names of widgets no matter the background. Also you will be able to adjust with iPhoto like controls, all your images including transparency and sliders for color effects, as well as photobooth effects!
11. "Picture pinching" or using two fingers to zoom on any content is certainly fun to play with, but not practical whatsoever. This operation depends solely on using the device with two hands.
More apps and gestures will be coming soon that pinching will be useful for. However in the meantime just double click instead of Pinch, when the filesystem is there there will be a preview setting for "actual size", 50% and so on for viewing
12. No document editor or native viewer. You can not store documents on the device to be viewed, they can only be viewed as attachments when they're sent to your in an email.
When apple updates there iWork suite there will be word processor, spreadsheet, mini-keynote app, and iPhoto editing app. Again Attachments will savable when the file-browser is added.
13. Visual voicemail is laggy and reacts about the same way as pushing the fast forward and rewind buttons on traditional voicemail systems. The only advantage is for those that get that many voicemail messages a day that they need to sort them according to priority.
There will be an update, part of this is due to the voicemail system, if you play the entire message, then scrub back and forth, it won't lag because it gets cached. But the voicemail servers are getting more apple servers added to speed it up. Also there will be an application to save the voicemail messages to the filesystem, and also have them import right into iTunes just like when you attach a voice recorder to the iPod
14. NO games. None.
Coming soon, they are making really innovative ones that will let you take advantage of the fact that the iPhone can recognize 4 finger touches at once. So you will even have widescreen games that have controls on both sides for tradition DS style gameplay
15. No voice dialing.
Voice recognition will be added when leopard comes out and not just for contacts, you will be able to assign it to do other things, like telling it "launch itunes, shuffle music", not only that but you will be able to use leopard advanced speech voices to read off documents to you, if you've heard a demo it sounds like a real human talking! And it will eventually read off names of who you are dialing, as well as (my favorite) iTunes tracks and artists (you can turn all this off) so if you are listing through headphones and it's in your pocket, you could click your little button in the headphones for the next song and a voice would say "Imagine - John Lennon"
16. No speed dialing (which can be made up by the "quick list", but getting to that quick list isn't as fast as holding a single key on a real keypad).
favorites will get updated to let you have a widget you save that clicking on will dial a number. Also there is talk of an app that lets you do gestures to call a favorite. Like if you moved in a circle twice it would call so and so.
17. No video.
I assume you mean the camera? This will come as soon as the filesystem browser is put in place
18. No MMS.
Apple plans to add account under email accounts for MMS, just wasn't finished yet, and apple has some really cool (built to work with iLife [next version coming out with leopard] that has cool little templates for MMS messages)
19. It's still <4GB for $500 and <8GB for $600
Yeah expensive, but considering there will be lots of software upgrades for it, it's worth it. 8GB iPod Nano (no video, no widescreen, no wifi) = $250 + Cellphone with a 400mhz processor, with PDA style email, and multitouch screen. It's much cheeper than a blackberry if you do the math.
20. It only takes around 2 hours to explore every menu without any options for expandability except to scrounge around for new web apps that will load slowly and nowhere near as smoothly as the native apps.
Real apps are coming, it was just released, and I know for a fact (from apple developer. real cocoa native apps are coming, web apps have been really fast for me so far)
