    Landscape keyboard will be available EVERYWHERE a keyboard can be brought up, Safari, SMS, Email, wherever, as soon as the 3.0 update is released (likely less than 2 weeks from now on June 8th).

    Well, because manufacturers are being innovative, and many new technologies come along, so, overall it's a good thing because it fosters better products overall. So you wind up with a bunch of people complaining that this phone doesn't have that feature, blah blah.

    Re: Is there anything the iphone doesn't have

    It doesn't have voice dialing. I loved that with my old Razr. Just say the name of the person and it would call them. Really good for phoning from the car. AFAIK, this won't be a 3.0 feature, unfortunately.

    There is a paid feature from AT&T wireless for this, but I refuse to pay for it. There are a couple of apps which claim to provide voice dial, but they all upload your entire phone book, a privacy no-no. I'd rather have a native voice dial feature like the old, relatively low-tech Razr had.

    Re: Is there anything the iphone doesn't have

    I'm wondering why an app would have to upload your phonebook, and why. I'm sure there's a voice dial app out there that doesn't do that.

    i could never get my old phones to do voice dialing anyway so i just gave up on it. personally its just easy to choose a call from the phone app. i just use favorite to call faster.

    You have Youtube..But other than that...Nope.I have Mix tube and Dtunes for mine..But then again My Iphone is Jailbroken. But it works well with 3G not EDGE.

    From AT&T Sources 3.0 will be out on 6/6/09 maybe a few days but from what he told me I'm assuming STRONGLY that it will be out on the 6th

    Re: Is there anything the iphone doesn't have

    I hear that the iPhone's camera functions are pretty limited. Is there a way to zoom in or out on it while taking the picture?

    They claim it's because they can perform more powerful voice recognition on their servers than on the phone. This sounds dubious to me, since my old Razr could do it with a fraction of the iPhone's compute power.
    I'm sure there's a voice dial app out there that doesn't do that.
    I haven't been able to find one, and I've looked. Let me know if you run across one.

    Not with the native camera software. You need a 3rd party app like the 99¢ "Camera Zoom."

    Re: Is there anything the iphone doesn't have

    I wish there was some way to improve the camera for free, though.

    Yeah, the lack of video has always seemed a bit strange to me - for a phone that has so many features and functions, it is missing the one thing that much simpler phones often have nowadays...
