The iphone is only purchased by the some geeks who like cool gadgets rather than functional ones, any tough screen hard to live with long term

The iphone is shit.. its a FACT... I work for a company located on the same tech park as AppleUK and socialise with their staff I have played with the iphone a great deal and Apple staff even think it is lacking

1) There’s no Flash, or Java for that matter; making watching web videos more a miss than hit on iPhones.
2) The iPhone camera is only 2 megapixel job, when you consider that 5 megapixel camera phones are now available and the other kind of flash and zoom is also missing. There’s also no secondary camera for self portraits unlike with most other phones
3) You can only have 25 different ring tones. You can’t import more or use your MP3s as ringtones.
4) The games... why Chess its the most graphics heavy game included with the iPhone; what was Pong or tetris too complicated?
5) There’s no third party applications allowed on the iPhone developers have to use the Safari web browser and AJAX to simulate them on the internet.
6) There’s no wifi synching with your Mac or PC, no video recording or video output, or microSD memory card capabilities.
7) The iPhone doesn’t support the 64 bit versions of Windows XP or Vista; facts Apple neglected to point out in their system requirements.
8) Even though the iPhone has a 3.5mm jack, it’s recessed in such a way that it actually doesn’t work with most 3.5mm headphones.

It's old tech, its exceptionally over priced, its very restrictive, its functionality is limited and it does nothing which is not done better elsewhere..
