[AnnexDev]

Don't all gun me just read and think. Apart from the following the iPhone can potentially kick other phones into touch. I actually got a few friends to buy the phone as i evangelised it.

THIS IS ONLY AFTER 2 DAYS WITH THE DEVICE. I MAY FIND MORE ISSUES

I mean as a multimedia device the iPhone is great but as a functioning phone it is shit. It lacks features that can be found in a budget #30 phone!! Im not saying it is not a great machine but apple are not moving fast enough and who decided to omit these basic features. Im sure all those on the dev team own phones too. I really am baffled after so many software updates these issues have not been addressed. These are not even 'Wish list' requests. Features that have been available for years. My iPhone has to be part of my 2 phone arsenal and cannot be my only phone else i really would be frustrated. I despise windows shite mobile but still find myself going back to it for basic functions missing from my iPhone....


Software Review Per App

The iPhone is a great multimedia device but weak as a phone. A lot of features missing are not even wish list features...they are basic available across the board from budget mid and high end phones.

Ahem! Why can i not assign tune from my collection to be ringtones and Message alerts. Please get over charging for tunes twice. If i have purchased a tune from the iStore i should be able to use it as I like within the restrictions of the DRM and not copy it to another device and share it which is fair enough. But my own purchase no being used as a ringtone.....I don't get the logic?
Ahem! Why can i not update podcasts OTA!!! Have to sync to update them....Why?
