Post your comments for The iPhone: Lots to Love, but Flaws Too here

the iPhone looks amazing, and it probably feels amazing in the palm of your hand, too. It's sleek, curvy, shiny, and sexy,with on-screen icons and buttons that just ooze and drip class.

I respectfully disagree about the virtual keyboard. Far and away, that was my biggest concern regarding the iPhone. After having played with one for quite a while. All of my fears regarding the keyboard have been laid to rest. It is incredibly responsive and intuitive. After 10 minutes or so of practice and faith, I was trying on that thing in portrait ode at least as fast as I typically type on a hardware keyboard. Granted, I have never been all that fast on hardware keyboards for phones, but it was fast enough that I didn't feel like I was lagging or constantly messing up.Although it's not without it's flaws, it's as close to perfect as I've ever seen in a cell phone.

Apple is great!! I wish they had cornered the market back in the early 80's.It is unfortunate that we live in a Microsoft world. I'm afraid I will have to wait for Safari to put out a Windows mobile version. (Come on...you know it's coming soon enough)However, if my choice of PDA/cell did not have to be work related, the next gen iPhone would be it!

I wish you had spent more time evaluating the calendar, and ToDo list. I would not mind at all spending $600 on a Phone/PDA that doesn't crash. I have no interest in Video or Music, but any phone capable of playing a movie will be able to handle my scheduling, contact, and SMS activities easily.

:unsure: The Iphone is nice but I would rather wait until two years go by and see what other companies will carry it and another thing, I would not at this point buy something that is first generation. From what I am hearing when the next generation of Iphones come out, you cannot even bring the first generation Iphone up to par with the second generation. If one wants to buy the phone and just use the features other than the calling features, the device is useless. Right now the I phone may be revolutionary, but the other companies are not too far behind.

The iPhone seems cool. I'm thinking of getting one if and when they come available in Canada (I heard something about their service being on Rogers, which isn't a deal for me since I already have a plan with them, hopfully I can transfer or something). The only drawback for me is the price, I would (have to) go with the 8GB model since I have a lot of video I want to use, $599 is a big rippoff just for a cellphone, but I'm thinking it's worth it (although an 80GB iPod is $399, it has some PDA features).It does lack some standard PDA features, I mean, I never use Text messaging, pix messaging, or SMS or anything so that doesn't bother me it's not included, they should have character recognition. Maybe a stylus could be included just for that, since it might be hard to write letters with your fingers. That would really have me buying one for positive if they had that.But the only reason I would use it, is for the video playback (since I have an iPod nano). I don't use a cellphone much, and an iPod Video wouldn't work since it's not a widescreen (as most of my videos are in Widescreen). I watch a lot of anime, which this would be great to put on my iPhone. I'm pretty sure they'll get linux onto it, and then they'll have a media player that supports subtitling (even If I hardsubbed the videos, an Ipod would be too small to properly read them).I'm guessing by the time it comes out in Canada they'll have released the second version of iPhone, since I haven't seen any release dates in Canada for it.

If your Treo 680 keeps putting callers on hold, you should try going into the preferences and telling it to disable the touch-screen while on the phone :wink:The iPhone looks nice, but I'll stick with my Treo 650 for now.

I have some really nice headphones (Bose QuietComfort 2, Bose Quietcomfort 3, Bose in-ear and B&O)... NONE of which work with the iphone because of the recessed back unless I use the horrible, big and ugly Belkin adapter. Makes a sexy device look like I had to duck tape something together. Still love my iphone, wish I had more storage, but for me the headset jack is the only major disappointment.

Despite its awesome features and glitzy display, there are several drawbacks that keep me from lining up to buy one.First, there's that $600 pricetag; talk about sticker shock! Second, the battery is hard wired into the unit, requiring you send the whole unit back to the factory for a $75 swap for a new one. This takes about three days (they say, of course there's always the possiblilty they'll be swampped with a flood of requests and it may take longer). Of course, you could always opt for the $20 loaner phone while you wait for your expensive battery change.Third, there's that required $60/month, 2 year contract that would eat away my beer money.Until they earn out the r&d and setup costs and the market nears saturation, and they design a user replaceable battery, I certainly will not buy one of these money pit iPhones.

I love my iphone but I can't use the ear phones, they wan't stay in my ear and it's hard to find a replacement . . . UFORON

any device you get, no matter how good will have flaws in the eyes of certain people.
