The hardware supports stereo bluetooth but Apple hasn't supported it in software. Very frustrating, especially I bought a nice wireless bluetooth speaker that I can't use with my iPhone.

My concerns are the screen’s scratch resistance & user-friendliness.

This is the worst cell phone that I ever had. iPhone 3g 16gb. I can hardly hear this thing ring.

yeah, every phone has it up and downs . but having such "weak " battery power . they made it up . for like easiness to charge it ..
just bring the cable . if you've got a com you can charge it . you can even use your own laptop and so ..and yeh.

I'm with you there. I just made the conversion from being a long-time Moto user to the iPhone 3G, 16g (2.0.2).

I was really surprised when I got it and noticed the same things you mentioned. My first thought was, "This is Apple we're talking about...not Microsoft..." But although it's the sleekest, coolest cellphone I've had they really left out alot of features that even the most basic cellphone 5 years ago had (like where did some sort of external battery-charging indicator light go?).

Anyways, mine is Jailbroken and most of these issues are now in the past for me but I still have a few things to work on; things that, imo, should have been there to begin with (ie: wallpaper on Springboard...I mean what cellphone doesn't let you put a wallpaper on your home screen? And me, this crazy wallpaper maker...I almost went nuts....*lol*).

Still loving the phone and once Jailbroken, there is so much more to do with it.

i think a lot of people just go after others,

I think the platform for the iPhone problems is the carrier (AT&T), I think their coverage kills the iPhone's 3G performance and in turn, decreases the life of the battery.

yea the battery i hate it, i have to go everywhere with my charger!

i have to say that the battery is horible that thing last only practically 6 to 11hours before you have to recharge. And those bill fees like come on really I know there trying to get a profit but they dont have to go overboard with the iphone bill and next time they should allowed the iphone to record video.

a lot of the iphone problems is that people can not figure out to work them.

what can i say its apple :P do they ever do anything right ?

people never learn the same thing happen with xbox 360 when it came out with cpu problem.

10 things Apple did right in the iPhone

The display, the display, the display. Everything looks good on it.
The menu design: It’s simple and clean, and the home screen icons look like so much eye candy.
Fingertip navigation, zooming and scrolling that's intuitive, effective and fast.
Video playback that’s so good you can tell when you’ve done a sub-par job of ripping your movies.
Visual voicemail lets you get to the calls you care about faster.
Great integrated applications, including Google Maps, YouTube, and a world clock that packs a timer, stopwatch and multiple alarms.
Cover Flow. It’s incredibly fun to choose your music by visually flipping through album art.
It’s tough: Our initial stress tests suggest that the iPhone is more durable than you might expect for such a sleek handset.
The first Apple music player with a built-in speaker—and it’s not half bad for a phone.
No disconcerting “do not disconnect” messages when syncing with a PC.



10 things they did wrong

We want our AOL Instant Messaging—and Yahoo and MSN IM clients, too. What about MMS support for sending picture mail?
No voice recording—and more importantly, no voice dialing support. How are you supposed to use an iPhone with a hands-free car kit?
It’s the most locked-down phone we’ve ever seen. Not only can you not swap out the AT&T SIM card for one from another network, you can’t even swap it out for another AT&T SIM card.
AT&T is building out its mobile broadband network, but iPhone users are stuck with older EDGE technology—or battery-consuming Wi-Fi.
You know those great headphones you already own? They won’t fit the iPhones headset jack, so your first iPhone accessory will be a bulky, ugly $10 adapter.
The software keyboard invites typos—but when you’re entering passwords there’s no way of telling whether you’ve got them right.
It’s great that the iPhone can reorient pages in Safari, CoverFlow, and the photo album, but why not extend that capability to other apps such as e-mail? Some messages could benefit from a widescreen display. And even when it does reorient, it doesn’t always follow through with all features: CoverFlow loses access to the volume slider, for example.
No support for custom ringtones, surprising in a music phone.
The camera’s rudimentary, with no audio/video or even zoom capability.
No to-do list support, a basic in most calendar applications.
