And camera, and video recorder (cycorder), louder speakers (3g), bluetooth, silent switch, and internet access wherever. They are different and the phone is way better.

So, I think that now days the best strategy for being highly ranked is frequently updating apps.
As the above article mentioned, people easily forget apps and have few change to meet so many apps.

I don’t care about it being a portable gaming unit – thats actually the very very least of my concerns, as I mentioned its lacking in basic phone functions. Off the top of my head in order to actually make the basics features of the phone useful I need to jailbreak and install Snapture, Qik, Cycorder, SwirlyMMS, iLog, biteSMS, StatusNotifier, etc. All these programs features should be integrated into the phone already.

Jailbreaking allows me to fix some of the things Apple got wrong but i’m hoping for a big improvement in the next version of both the firmware (feature wise) and the phone (more RAM, multi-tasking, etc)

I have just noticed Stevey’s replay and beg to differ. The iPhone is exactly the same as the iPod Touch with the added phone.

Basiclly, 95% of the applications in the app store are a complete load of rubbish and an utter waste of time – including the bought ones.

Most of these are exactlty the same as each other only different !!!!!
(I think you get my meaning)

However, the restrictions are so severe that not much of any use can be offered anyway, unlike Cydia that has a multitude of well thought out first class app etc.

I personally think that the iPhone is just lacking a very basic feature i.e. Send files via bluetooth

Sorry for the grammar mistakes; cannot we not have a edit button implemented?

I have not really found this to be so. Which basic phone functions are do you feel are lacking? Keep in mind that Apple did not design this to be a portable gaming unit.
