It's a stupid article. How in the world can they say the touch screen keyboard is BETTER? Are you kidding me? Please, the typing is about 3x SLOWER on there and you mess up 3x more! iPhone fanbois can compare all they want but they can't dispute the fact that iPhone doesn't have:

1. Video recording. Something that even a $49 phone has! How pathetic is that?

2. MMS text. I mean, seriously? Even a $10 phone has that one!

3. No voice dialing? Sorry, that's just sad.

Yes, the iPhone has a better internet browser. But, I'd take a real keyboard and the above three over a better browser. I have a real computer for browsing the internet.

Lol- I gave up my curve for exactly 2.5 months on an iphone experiment and I could not believe that it didn't have mms or cut/paste! Seriously complete BS! I was even more suprised when they announced the new one and STILL haven't added these features- what are they thinking!? Are 3rd party apps going to address these features who knows! But I can't live without them!

I'm still debating whether or not I will be getting the Bold or 3g iPhone so I'm stuck in the middle here right now... it may come down to if the Bold is released before July 11th. I will say all of the things you mentioned can be fixed with a simple update. Will they do it? Who knows but it can be done fairly easily. I'm not going to start a whole debate here but again that whole arguement with mms, video, etc has been beaten to death. Oh and the keyboard issue you mentioned... I have no problem what so ever typing on it. I go thru thousands of texts a month never with a issue. And over the past few years I've had many Treo's and HTC devices. But, to each his own.

I think a bigger flaw than all of those things is the fact that the iphone (new one too) doesn't have stereo bluetooth. I mean, it's a fregging i-phone, like i-pod, as in a dedicated multimedia/music device, and the thing doesn't have stereo bluetooth? WTF?

From what I've been reading is it's because the audio gets so compressed that it is not even worth it. At least that's what has been floating around. I'd never use it personally just because of battery drain but I can see how people would appreciate it.

ha, I found that article through a google search. I wasn't paying attention when I first posted this since I thought the link was some sort of long string and I wasn't about to type it out on this stupid phone. Then I realized that the iPhone Blog: iPhone News, Reviews, and Opinion was all that I needed. LOL.

And even that was too tedious on the iPhone.
