i can't see why it couldn't. That would be absurd if you could send attachments. that would mean you could send a word file or anything like that

It is supposed to be full email. So it should send attachments.

As for MMS. I rarely use it. BUT its a software upgrade. My feelings have always been apple is getting this phone out now. Much of the other features will come later in the form of updates.

Exactly! You'll be getting an update every month from apple through iTunes because its better than any smartphone and you don't have buy a new phone to upgrade it.
I think they are giving you so much more than all the other companies...especially for being their FIRST phone. Can't imagine what the future hold...

Here's something to ponder. iWork seems long overdue for an update. I wonder if the reason for the delay has to do with the iPhone. Maybe we'll see an iWork mobile product debut at the same time that the regular application suite gets an update.

Or taking it a step further, what if Apple uses their relationship with Google to offer the next iWork as a hosted suite of Web-based applications? You could pay for an account and access your applications from your Mac, your iPhone (reason for AJAX as the "SDK"?), or even your PC (reason for Safari on Windows?).

no video is a big bummer too.

no bluetooth iSync? wtf.

copy/paste, dont care.

IM, don't care. I IM via SMS anyway. And I can guarantee you there will be a 3rd party IM app within days.

But fuck, no MMS?!?!?!??!?!?!

Funny, I've never sent an MMS in my life. Doesn't make sense to leave it out though, its a standard feature on even the shittiest phones.

They have to update the bluetooth isync though, thats just retarded.




There are 3 people in line at the ATT store across the street from my house. Its going to be 112 today....

That guy is a tool. They even explain in the video to start typing with one finger to start. And once you get used to it, move on to trying thumbs.

And the iphone auctions on ebay have started. One, flooded market on there, over 100+ pages with iphone listings, two, you can still buy one at the stores. Stupid people. Iphone looks promising, next version will be even more badass. Good job Apple, now time to reinvest in the AAPL

I'm not quite sure I understand your issue. How long have you been waiting for it to activate?

A lot of people are having to wait a long time for activations. I imagine its for new AT&T customers? I doubt their systems are really optimized for the number of new customers they got yesterday.

This thing is great. It is a pleasure to use it over the Internet. Typing isn't that bad. You just have to be sure to use the points of your fingers. I've also been really impressed with the auto correct software. I prefer a single index finger to two thumbs though

If you use the tips of your fingers typing is a charm. The predictive text has an amazing dictionary (the best i have seen, even has swears) and if you are careful you dont even nee dit
