iPhone == iDisappointment; //release day thoughts

Introduction
Having been following the iPhone for some time now I had considered more than once the thought of buying one.  I currently have AT&T and have the HTC 8525 (not a bad phone) so I was in no real hurry to get one. After getting off work I decided drive down to The Gateway (where the apple store is) and see just how bad the line was.  I got the right after 6:00pm, some where around 6:05pm. 

The line was rather long say around 200 people.  Not sure if I really wanted to get an iPhone I decide that it would be to much trouble so I went on my way and shopped at some of the other stores then ate dinner.  On my way back to my car the around 8:30pm the line at the apple store was gone so I thought I would at least go take a look at the iPhone either though I thought they were surely sold out.  When I walked in I was greeted by an employee who toldme there was still plenty of iPhone to go around.  WHAT!!!! My understanding was that it was going to available in limited numbers.  O'welll maybe I can get one I thought to myself, so I went and took a look at it.  After just a few short minutes I was convinced.  The iPhone is the iDisappointment.  Here is a list of the things i hated about the iPhone.

iDisappointment

1. The Keyboard Sucks!!! there is no way to type using your thumbs, the keys are too small.  No way to be able to use the keyboard without looking at it.  Keyboard takes up half the screen and does not work in landscape mode.
   
2. No file explorer.  All file organization has to be done inside of other applications
3. Internet access was extremely slow!
4. You can't take videos. (I knew this before)
5. No speed or voice dial.
6. When switching to landscape mode it took several seconds for it to recognize the changes.
7. Overall the iPhone seemed very laggy and unresponsive.
8. No expandable storage
9. Most 3rd party headphones will NOT work because of the sunk in jack.
10. Can't highlight, cut, copy, or paste text from a website.
11. Can not sync with Exchange Server for email

Final Thoughts
In the end I think the iPhone is nothing more than a novelty for people that like to look cool or apple FanBoys.  There is no way the iPhone will become the phone that apple wanted it to.  It lacks to many simple features  that a cell phone/PDA/mp3 player should have.   This is simple not a phone for anyone who wants to do more than make calls and listen to music.  In short if you want to be productive on the go DO NOT buy an iPhone.
