iPhone 3G thoughts

Its been a week since i picked up my iPhone 3G and to be totally honest its the most excited I have been when getting a new phone. I was very eager to get it open i waited to get home and slowly opened it and as i expect from Apple the packaging was of the the highest standard. It seems Apple add little touches to the packaging to let you know that you have a quality product. After activating and updating the firmware on Iphone I got down to the business of syncing contacts, calendar and my music onto my new device. As soon as that was complete I started playing with the features i had not used on my iPod touch such as the SMS app which I have fallen in love with. I do a lot of texting during the day and it the way Apple has laid the SMS app out is fantastic in my opinion, Its very helpful the fact that it lays it out like a chat App showing what has recently been sent back and forth. As i have said in a previous post i was disappointed that Apple has still not added MMS to the iPhone but i know a lot of third party developers are working on it even if Apple are not. to be honest i was not that excited about the addition of GPS as I will rarely if ever use it but i suppose its nice to have as you never know when you would kill for GPS. Many people have blogged about poor battery life but i do not seem to have a problem with it but i do not have wifi on all day and i am not running games all day either so i am more then happy with the battery. Many people have said the 2 mega pixel camera in the iPhone is not great but if you want stunning picture use a dedicated camera is what i would say, I am happy with the camera and have had some really nice shots but i have also had my share of poor ones too, I agree that a better camera would have been nice but if you use a more powerful camera in the iPhone i am sure the battery life would suffer more then it does already. One thing I have to say is thank you to all the developers out there creating amazing Apps for the iPhone and there are some great freebees out there so thanks again. Now onto the things i would like to see come to the iPhone in the next few versions of the firmware.

1. MMS come on Apple its got to be done we all know it

2. The ability to set a wallpaper behind the icons on the home screen.

3. Portrait mode for SMS input, Safari has it why not SMS???

4. The ability to turn wifi of 3G on and off from the home screen rather then going through the settings menus.

5. Flash support in Safari give us a little more of the whole internet.

6. The shack to shuffle feature from the new iPod nano it sure would be nice but not a must.

7. Copy/Cut/Paste.

8. A basic text editor.

9. Sync my notes in Mail on my Mac with my notes on my iPhone.

10. iChat sure would be nice, Video conferencing is not a most but at least give us iChat.

I most say I love my iPhone a lot but with most devices there are always ways to make them better i just hope Apple do make the worlds best phone even better. The iPhone gets a 9 out of 10 from me what about you?
