iPhone
Since Steve Jobs announce the iPhone, there have been nothing but positive write-ups about Apple’s new mobile phone due 2nd half of 2007. Michael Robertson’s e-mail, which I received not-so-long ago, opened my eyes on many drawbacks the iPhone has, including:

  • You cannot load media using the built-in WiFi feature.
  • iTunes is required to load music/movies onto the phone.
  • WiFi cannot be used to make phone calls
  • Touch screen keyboard a real pain to write e-mails
  • Too expensive comparing to Nokia’s N80ie
  • Short battery life, non-replaceable
  • No Expansion slot - 8GB max.
  • Here are some resources to read more about the iPhone:
