I’m looking forward to full exchange support.

I love my iphone. all the jailbreak stuff was premature and I’m really looking forward to the apps produced by the new SDK.

Problems are as follows:
1. No snooze for calendar events. I use my calendar to remind me of events & to do’s. Being able to quickly snooze a to-do, without having to edit would be great but Apple chose form not function.
2. Can not search contacts using keyboard. It’s a slow process to scroll through 600 contacts. Even when you use the slider bar to get to a group of contacts by a,b,c etc…
3. Ear piece volume is awful. In a public place it’s very hard to hear people talking.
4. Forward at text message would be nice.
5. Spell check a finished email or text. Yes it does check each word as you type but if you use the delete key it doesn’t spell check that word.
6. If you in the middle of entering a calendar item and the phone rings that information is lost.
7. The sound/notification for a calendar event is two very quite beeps and or vibrate. You can not change the volume, length or type of notification.
8. If a notification goes off for a calendar event a window comes on the screen. You must either view event or dismiss. However, if you view the event and another notification goes off you have to view that new event or dismiss. If you choose to view that new event the one you where working on disappears and will not remind you again.
9. Can only sort contacts by first or last name. What about company?
These are all issue that could be addressed by software updates. What’s stupid is that these are all features other phones have done well for years. A little time spent doing research would have avoided these issues. Then you’d have the best of both worlds, form and function.

Although the web browsing experience on the iPhone is by far the best I’ve seen on any phone, this is my one major complaint. It is a royal pain always to have to re-type my passwords into Safari.

If anyone knows of a work-around, please comment.

I went to the Apple Store two days ago to check out the iPhone and ask questions about the rate plans. The Apple Store told me AT&T is responsible for the rate plans and they can’t answer any questions. When I went to AT&T (where I bought my phone yesterday) they didn’t mention anything about the loss of a discount on my account. I called AT&T after I saw the discount loss warning when I started to activate my iPhone and they told me it was all up to Apple!

My wife and I have a family share plan, she is the main line and I am the $9.99/mo line, it has been this way for over 2 years. Now I’m cheap and had been trying to decide between the iPod Touch or the iPhone because I didn’t know if it was worth the extra $20/mo for me, well now it will cost me $40/mo for the $20 data plan because of my discount loss… It’s not just the $9.99 extra line and the $20 data plan that don’t get the discount, it is the ENTIRE plan incliding my wife’s phone that has nothing to do with the iPhone. Since I had to open my iPhone to find out about this, I will now have to pay a restock fee if I want to return it.

I realize Apple is running a business here, but this deal AT&T has with Apple is wrong on so many levels to the consumer.

the name of this is STEAL.
Who could imagine that a company like Apple needs to
steal money from the costumers!.

There is not enough money for this Steve Jobs! Pool man, acting like a thief.

When Apple acknowledges that it can’t control the universe (even a smaller, more limited one of its own designation), it will finally build a product worthy of mass consumption.

And yes, that’s a software problem. But a really, really big one.
