Other iPhone issues
- Might as well be a CDMA phone - it locks itself to the specific SIM card you activated it with. This, combined with a few select items below (bluetooth behavior), makes the iPhone just as fucking retarded as a goddamn Verizon phone.
Phone
- Unreliable - sometimes fails to let you answer calls
- Lousy battery life and a battery that's not replaceable
- Need a tool to remove the SIM card
- Retarded "activation" crap. Not possible to get unlocked. 2-year contract is bullshit; Can't be activated on 64-bit Windows
Media player
- 3.5mm jack requires adapter for regular headphones
- Non-standard screen resolution and aspect ratio.
Internet device
- Unreliable - Safari crashes randomly
- Lots of AJAX apps are broken due to the lack of double-click and a real keyboard
- Email client sucks (see engadget review)
Calendar
- Desktop sync unreliable
Camera
- Camera has zero options like exposure lock or spot metering.
Touchscreen
- Greasy screen syndrome
- Text entry sucks
