"what no camera...complaints"

The Wall Street Journal review does mention this:

"The camera, however, is still bare-bones. It can’t record video and has a resolution of just two megapixels"

Apple have managed to do the bare minimum to there product to be able to make more money out of a market who don't realise how low on features it is...

The biggest selling points of this to me are the exchange server support, the GPS, and the 3G and two out of three are not great. The Diamond on Orange or T-Mobile with a similar price plan comes out about the same, if not cheaper, and has ActiveSync exchange support, along with unlimited other email accounts, true - and useful - AGPS, and a higher theoretical maximum speed of 3G. Combine that with the fact you can install iPhone alike software, and it seems a far better prospect!

I must counter Oliver Levett's comments.

Having used an iPod Touch for the best part of a year, it's the actual interface and touchscreen that are the phone/touch's best selling points. The browser is the best browser on a mobile device by a mile, and would only need Flash support to make it perfect.

Had the previous generation of iPhone had the 3G support then I would already be using one. As it is, I am now sorely tempted.

If they have managed to get the sound quality of the iPod bits to the same level as the Touch then that will probably clinch it.

<sarcasm> Oh, and a complaint! It hasn't got a micro-kettle so can't make me a cup of tea </sarcasm>

"a choice must be made between Exchange or personal accounts, they cannot coexist together".

Total. And. Utter. Disaster. What's the point about banging on about MobileMe when it can't live with Exchange nicely? Some of us like keeping work and private life separate.

Tony Walker, I can find the Touch Diamond on Orange but not T-Mobile, are you sure they have it? Sorry this is a bit (loads) off topic?

Whoops that should have been directed to Oliver Levett, not Tony Walker. My eyes are not what they used to be. By that I do not mean they are not eyes anymore, just they are not as good as they used to be.

It may not be there yet, but I believe it is coming very soon. And, the prices will be similar to the Diamond on Orange, but with Web and Walk! :)

Tony Walker - The UI may be important for you, but for me (as I said previously), it's nothing very inventive... The main programs screen of WM5/6 has the same, big icons, and WM Pro/Classic both have touch screens. With some (free, no royalties paid to Apple!) software, you can even make WM look and behave much like an iPhone.

Also, Opera 9.5 (even in the very first betas) was IMHO equal to the iPhones Safiri.

I don't think any of the Windows Mobile interfaces are in the same league as that on the iPhone. Like it or loathe it if you actually use an iPhone for any amount of time it's clear to see it's light years ahead. Clearly it's still not the perfect business phone, support for it isn't good enough, but for regular consumers I think it has the right mix of features.
