I am thinking about purchasing an iphone now instead of waiting for the phantom second generation that may or may not come out anytime soon. But there are a few negative things I have heard about the phone, and I was hoping those of you that own the phone can tell me if I've been misinformed or not.

1. The phone doesn't have mulit-text messages capabilities. As in, you can't send a text to more than one person at a time.
2. No text forwarding, which might be okay if it had copy and paste, but it doesn't have that either.
3. No music ringtones. The bluetooth is only for earpieces. Really? Apple markets this as such an innovation but you can't even get music ringtones? Are we back to polyphonic?
4. Can you access any email server? As in...

Also, there is no video record?
No picture messaging? Come on Apple...

-It just seems to me the touch screen and internet look is cool, but these are all pretty basic things now that most low-cost phones come with stock. So why did Apple leave so many of these things out? They market this as such an amazing media phone, but it doesn't do music ringtones, picture send, or have convenient texting features? These are the things that seperate our new technology from polyphonic ringtones and pre-loaded smiley faces for ID's... and now we're back to that, plus internet. So pretty much it's internet, and ipod.. and that's about it.

Wow...I send and recieve pics daily. I watch videos, movies, everything!!!! The Internet is flawless. If you really do have one, try iphonedailymotion.com, you'll love it. You can also get ringtones. The best part of all......The Phone never gets to far outdated...Apple sends updates!!!!! Try that with yours!

This is by far the GREATEST phone made. Some features are missing such as mms, but apple does send updates such as the 1.1.3 update that does allow your phone to send text to multiple contacts. UI is not even comparable to any other phone in the market. I get news videos updated daily from abc and csnbc, via fm transmitter watch it in my car on the way to work every morning (the screen is unbelievable.) You can buy and crop your own ringtones through itunes for $.99 or find a video on youtube that shows you how to easily create your own for free. Camera is missing a flash but the 2megapixel is probably the best i've seen even better that the Tilt with exception of the video recorder (because the iPhone does not have that.) Battery life is al...

Reggie, you must be one of those Voyager fanbois they send over to the iPhone forum everyone in a while to stir things up!

Especially since it looks like you never came back to see what people had to say in response.

It does. The newest update added that. So, WRONG.
