They are only releasing the 3G version now, that's like years old technology. It doesn't even have 3G video calling function (video call usability is another issue though).

GPS is another must have feature today. It is so useful, I really can't live without it now. It has guided me all the way to Singapore. I drove into SG not knowing a single road name with GPS!
Ah.. You are right in that. Text messaging is a problem.

But I do maintain that a fluid GUI is very important. It is IMHO the iPhone's greatest asset. I'm so tired of the slow interfaces in the phones I've used so far.

Hehe.. One thing about Apple. After the revolutionary release of a new product, subsequent releases are relatively minor evolutionary upgrades.

After using phone like k750 which has very responsive interface, I learn how to make WM phones more responsive by using simpler programs, preload the program. The features lacking in iPhone makes it a far better choice to get many other phones on the market a much wiser choice, especially at RM2k+. I always recommend people to avoid iPhone at all costs unless they want the cool factor, or they primarily use iPhone for entertainment purposes.

Everything has a laggy interface except iPhone. We know that already.

Once you have tried iPhone, anything else is slow.
