Exactly. And they're nitpicking every little fucking thing.
When one 'critcism' on the list is that it doesn't have a better camera then ONE specific Nokia phone, that's pretty pathetic. They're grabbing at straws to find something to bitch about.
Oh no you have to sign a two year contract? 90% of the time you have to sign a contract when signing up to any service. What's the big deal?
It's been out for 18 HOURS. Just like with ANY extremely popular release there's bound to be some things to iron out. It's ridiculous that some of you guys can't grasp that idea.

i think thats bits/sec
Here's another list I saw recently from a guy who bought the iphone:
1. Bluetooth is ONLY good for connecting a headset. That's it.
2. There is no file browser on the device at all. Data must be organized (if at all) in the appropriate application.
3. The camera is a simple application that has ONE button: the shutter. Pictures come out okay on the device, but nothing too fancy on a monitor, especially if it was an attempt at a macro shot.
4. SIM card is damn near impossible to open, if at all. I didn't look into it extensively.
5. Web browser is slow, even over WLAN. Even the simple OneList web app that was created takes around 20 seconds to load over WLAN. You can not highlight, cut, copy, or paste and text from a website, and you can not save any images you find from a website either. The only nice thing about it is the tabbed browsing, which crashed on me when I went to Engadget and YouTube on two tabs. This is the only application that allows you to use the keyboard in landscape mode.
6. The keyboard sucks. It gets slightly better after the iPhone "learns" you, as the employees said, but even then, it's not a device you can use with one hand comfortably, much less without looking.
7. You can only send one picture at a time in an email.
8. No custom ringtones (yet, as we were being told) and the alert tones can not be changed whatsoever.
9. The default ringtones are incredibly lame.
10. The only form of customization outside of a lame default ringtone is the wallpaper, which you'll only see when you need to unlock the device or when you get a phone call.
11. "Picture pinching" or using two fingers to zoom on any content is certainly fun to play with, but not practical whatsoever. This operation depends solely on using the device with two hands.
12. No document editor or native viewer. You can not store documents on the device to be viewed, they can only be viewed as attachments when they're sent to your in an email.
13. Visual voicemail is laggy and reacts about the same way as pushing the fast forward and rewind buttons on traditional voicemail systems. The only advantage is for those that get that many voicemail messages a day that they need to sort them according to priority.
14. NO games. None.
15. No voice dialing.
16. No speed dialing (which can be made up by the "quick list", but getting to that quick list isn't as fast as holding a single key on a real keypad).
17. No video.
18. No MMS.
19. It's still

When it's actually developed and released, it's going to have to use a 3G network.

LG CU500 is mine. Oh it does video too! And there's lots of little options I can control on there... no just a shutter button.
No one said MP3s are illegal. The legality extends from if you acquired those songs via "illegal" means. Ripping songs from CDs you OWN and using them as ringtones is considered ILLEGAL by record companies. It's in the gray area of being considered as a public performance. Apple signed a contract with the devil to get this far, if you're going to think they're going to let you fuck around with songs on your iPhone, you must be out of your mind. Remember, the record companies makes a bundle from licensing 30 seconds songs as ringtones as the status quo. NO ONE is going to be able to come in and change that overnight.
Yeah, you can do that. You pay $0.99 for it in iTunes.
No. But I know you just like to talk of your ass about stuff. Here's a 34 page brief of the USCO's ruling on ringtones as copyright work: http://www.copyright.gov/docs/ringtone-decision.pdf
It's pretty long and full of legalese and I know you're too lazy to read it so I'll summarize the summary for you: Even 30 seconds or less ringtones are copyrighted work.
And you must be the smartest sheeple out of the flock.
