I agree, having a phone I often send MMS messages and normal messages to multiple recipients (especially this time of year) so not having those very basic features did it for me.
That and the camera really is bad. A mate of mine had one through work and we compared the 2mp picture taken with the iphone camera to one taken with a Nokia 6300 (my current phone, also 2mp) and the Nokia was head and shoulders above the iphone for both colour and contrast. The Nokia picture also had far less 'noise' and was overall clearly taken with a much better camera.
You cannot fault the user interface one bit, but that is available on the Touch. And as far as carrying 2 devices around, well I dont need my MP3 player 70% of the time so I don't have to. Personally I would much rather have a small phone than one that is lacking in very basic features compared to the cheapest phones on the market.
Expect iphone V.2 to be twice the capacity (16GB) and have a much better phone/camera implementation. Also expect it to be much harder to Jailbreak
Ps. All those with iphones/touch's should check out the range of cases made by "PDair" and the screen protectors made by "Invisible shield"
Edited to add:
iphone 1.1.3 firmwhare launches in a week or so and adds (amongst other things) the following:-
Multiple SMS recipients
MMS ability
Ability to re-organise front page icons
Pagination (multiple pages on for the home screen)
Triangulation for google maps
etc
So basically most of the things already available on a Jailbroken phone or touch.
It appears the iphone will be unlocked to 3rd party apps pretty soon (why else have multiple home pages
) now they just need to up the hardware on the camera and memory. Expect those announcments at the next keynote speach maybe?
