I’m not sure it didn’t get wireless-n. I could have swore they said it did. If it didn’t, then how am I suppose to use my network a 5MHz? Bologna. I’ll have to lower my basestation settings. Pooey!

The iPhone may well be my next phone…but am still waiting for it to catch up with my Treo 680 in terms of Bible version availability and cut and paste! (on many other fronts of course the iPhone looks great…but is it as functional as the Treo? Jury is still out for me!)

The lack of clear GPS software offerings is still a dealbreaker for me. I'm a sales executive whose territory spans the entirety of North America - built-in GPS is a lifesaver for me. If the iPhone doesn't do it, I'll get a Bold.

I really do want an iPhone (hooray Exchange support!), and I'd like to get one on release day, but if I can't do turn-by-turn directions ON RELEASE DAY, I won't be buying an iPhone.

I've had TomTom for my Treo 700w for nearly 3 years - I paid $200 for the feature, and I've never had to pay another cent to maintain it; if the iPhone doesn't recieve some sort of non-subscription GPS turn-by-turn software, I'm done.

The App Store is coming with Firmware 2.0. Most document editing stuff is from the 3rd party, the App Store brings 3rd party support to the iPhone. Who's to say that there won't be a 3rd party document editing/creating solution?

Copy and paste can still come as software too.

Good: 802.1x, multi-language input

Bad: No copy and paste, no document editing, no stereo bluetooth. Especially the first two—those are definitely needed to really make the jump from time-waster to "productivity-booster." ("Productivity-booster" in quotes because I know that even if those things were added, I'd still use the damn thing to waste time).

I’m really dissapointed in Apple. I won’t be buying a new iPhone until they come out with something better than this. Time for them to think about the consumer.
