my thoughts on the iPhone

As a phone geek, my close friends would know, whenever there's a cool phone, I'd be the first to have it. I've had many phones before, and based on my memory, here are the ones that I remember in chronological order:

1. Nokia 6150
2. Motorola L2000
3. Nokia 8290
4. SonyEricsson T68i
5. SonyEricsson Z600
6. Nokia 7280
7. SonyEricsson W600i
8. SonyEricsson W810i
9. LG CU500
10. Samsung A-707 (Cingular SYNC)
11. Nokia N75 - What I'm using now

The iPhone is a very cool concept, and I do like the fact that it's a touch screen, and it's got built-in WiFi. But for me, the advantages pretty much end there. I'm sure you've heard many of it's disadvantages. Internal battery, no A2DP bluetooth, no 3G (my last 3 phones were 3G) and it doesn't even support MMS?? You've gotta be kidding me! I can't even post new blog entries with it!

I heard activating it was a nightmare and I don't really want to have to deal with any problems with my current plan either.

Not that I hate Apple or have something against them, and I did used to have iPod Nano until it got stolen. But I just don't think it's a compelling "phone" that I must have at this moment. It's their first phone nonetheless. Remember the 1st gen iPod? I will seriously consider the 2nd generation though.
