I picked this up from rediff - users contribution -but interesting enough for all to read :


Friends .....those of you in India planning for iPhone... THINK TWICE BEFORE MAKING A DECISION... The short comings of iPhone are endless...

1. No video calling,

2. No AD2P on the Bluetooth,

3. CAN’T share ANY (mp3, images,videos....) files via bluetooth,

4. Can't use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone, but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home)
5. No copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.... say.... email & send it....have to type it out yourself)

6. No 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera,(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i've ever seen..... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)

7. No video recording with camera,

8. No front camera,

9. No flash.

10. No JAVA support

11. No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a dealbreaker...touch keyboard as good as it looks...once you use it then only you come to know about the importance of having a hard keypad)

12. No 3G network yet in India..so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services ... so, for India, iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version

13. No removable battery. (You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!!!!...This is not an iPod. Its a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days)
