All the doesn’t have’s that you have mentioned, they can be have’s , if you search. iPhone is programmer friendly, you can have everything in there related to software as a lot of developers are developing stuff for iPhone. An app example is given below to forward sms. http://digg.com/apple/WeTool_SMS_Forwarding_Multiple_Recipients_for_the_iPhone
Not that I am advocating iPhone, its just that I am in love with iPhone :)

Another thing the 3G version of iPhone will have 5mp camera and faster internet and half the price which here in US is $199 for 8GB model.

Poonam: Yes, I never denied that iPhone has some nice features, which you can not find in any other phone. But, I still can’t understand, why iphone is hyped so much, irrespective of the fact that it is not the best phone in the market.

Manish: No where on apple’s website, it is mentioned that the 3G phone will have a 5mp cam. Please provide the link.

My Bad, its still 2mp. But I swear I read it either http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=19&entry_id=27157&tsp=1 or http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/06/finally-steve-j.html but its not here anymore.

I am sorry for providing wrong information.

Manish: Lets wait and watch - maybe Apple will rethink about its strategy and launch iPhone 3G with 5mp cam! :)

Guys, just check ebay for good chinese/korean mobiles which have amazing features compared to these branded mobiles.
Example.
An NPTEL brand 2 sim (works at the same time + 1gb card + 2 batteries (2 days talk+standby capacity) + audio + video player (mp34, 3gp), Bluetooth, 1.3 mp camera etc etc is available at Rs 3300 and the PDA + TV mobiles with java comes for 5500.

Why should you go for these iphone and nokia and shokia???

Most people were staying overnight outside the shop to get Iphone … I think Iphone is nice gadget, but somehow I am not really interested to buy. I had this bad experience with mobile phone which has other features mp3, applications, etc. Honestly, I am more interested to buy Macbook :)
