This phone does not have camera to perform video call and freeze a lot of times when installed new applications.

          This is more of a multimedia phone than a busniess tool.. but i really enjoy it i have had no problems as of yet and i just love the smooth complexity feel about it.

              and i agree with the post below, we all know what it doesnt have, geeze there is atleast 5 posts a page about what it doesnt have, and if those features are oh so vital, dont buy it, im sure apple will live without your single sale.

                  It all depends on what you want in a phone I personally choose nokia n96 because you can do more with it, (what where they thinking no sms or mms sending) It seems Ipone 3g is stuck in the dinosaur age,
                  nokia is much more advance than this.

                    No. It does display names if they are in your contacts. The only issue I had was having +61 instead of the 0 in mobile numbers (in Australia) but even then I just added the +61 number in the first place, or putting in area codes. It makes more sense when you are out of state or even country.

                    And to everyone else, this is user opinions and reviews. Questions are valid, and those who are in the know will answer them, but don't go saying why you didn't buy this phone. We all know it doesn't forward SMS, MMS or record video, so you don't need to keep saying it.

It would've been a bigger step backwards if they put a metal back on and blocked out the signals.

                      Research before you speak guys.

                        Well... This is a nice package, but that is about it...

                        It can't compare to more advanced phones from Nokia or Sony Ericsson for example, and is WAY too limited to be used by a human with free will.

                        Apple screwed this one up too... :(
