Apple - iPhone (4GB) Cell Phone —
I really do enjoy my iPhone and its many great features. I love being able to check my email from my phone any time of the day. I also enjoy the iPod feature in my phone so I don't have to carry around serveral items all the time. I enjoy being able to surf the internet from my phone. What I don't enjoy is the lacking MMS or picture messaging ability I had with other phones. You can email photos but you cant send them in a multimedia message or when you receive them you have to go on the internet with a code & username to access them. It's so annoying because people send me mms' all the time! I also dislike the small keyboard and predictive text. The keys are too close together and the predictive text is almost always incorrect and automatically "fixes" my chosen text. I also, don't like the volume switch being on the side of the phone. It get turned down all the way very easily! VERY ANNOYING. Sometimes the applications freeze up and close out. The camera does not have a zoom function and is only 2 mega-pixels. To drive & try and dial this phone is dangerous! You must use extreme caution when doing so. Voice recognition calling would be great.
I really do like the new application store feature. I now have applications that I find extremely helpful and ammusing right at my fingertips. I enjoy making my own custom ringtones using iTunes that I can upload to my phone. The camera is good but needs to be updated to at least a 6 or 7 mega-pixel!

Having owned both the original and the new 3G version, I totally agree with you about the whole "MMS thing". Hopefully this will be addressed in a simple software update in the future. Overall, nice review while pointing out some iPhone flaws.
