Network Speed The iPhone isn't equipped for AT&T's fastest "third-generation" (or 3G) wireless data network. Instead, iPhone users are stuck on an older, slower network, which means Web pages will take longer to load. In theory, iPhone users can also hook up to a wi-fi connection, but that's a less useful feature than it should be.
Battery Life From all indications, the iPhone's battery--as with its iPod in-laws--is sealed inside the device. Problem is, playing songs, making phone calls and surfing the Web can all drain a battery fairly quickly. And it doesn't look as if Apple will let you swap in a spare one on the go. And when the battery finally runs out of charges, how do you replace it?
Software CrackBerry addicts, beware: It looks as if you won't be able to access your corporate push e-mail system with iPhone's built-in software. The iPhone runs the Mac OS X operating system, so, in theory, writing powerful software should be easy for outsiders. But Apple has been cryptic so far as to whether it will open the iPhone to developers.
Multi-Touch Screen The iPhone's screen is arguably its most attractive feature. But will it really be good enough to be the phone's only navigation system? Will dialing and typing on a simulated keypad be easy enough to do without your undivided attention? In the rain? And how easily will it scratch?
Contracts Galore They're way past the $500 start-up cost. AT&T's contract terms could be a big deal breaker. Will they require a minimum $40-per-month voice plan and a minimum $40-per-month, all-you-can-eat data plan? Before taxes, that adds up to more than $1,900 over two years. And AT&T won't be rewarding loyalty here--existing customers will get the same deal as new customers.
Okay, I won't be an ass-hole to just criticise the iPhone and not state it's pros as well.
Apparently... there are many applications in the iPhone that you'd love. Independent developers have what they've always wanted from Apple: access to create software for the iPhone. But, they won't get it until February. Until then, iPhone owners should take a look at iPhone Web applications. We comb through the best ones available now that take advantage of the phone's big-screen and wireless connectivity. A slick Facebook site, a broad instant messaging service and a way to use your iPhone as a remote control are among the iPhone-centric sites included here.

Now the real reason why I'm so damn free here blogging about the iPhone is because,
(1) my bestie gf has an exam, which is her last paper.
(2) Sent her all the way to Ipswich (45min drive) and am still waiting for her to come out.
This is her - using up the last ten minutes before going into the exam when everyone has gone in already. so cute hor?
This is me - sky has turned dark and I'm still waiting patiently.
These are my companions - my lappie and our new country road bags. ($69.95 each if you're interested in them. Haha!)
Just thought that this is the last 'little things in life' that I could do for her before she flies back to Singapore first on the 20th before I do.
I'm so gonna miss her like hell.
