Okay, I'll start.
This thing doesn't have a replaceable battery. You have to send it into the factory. The battery only lasts for 300-400 cycles. Question: what are you gonna do when you have to send the phone in for 2-3 weeks? Go without a phone?
Wait, I know! Buy another one for $600!
Jobs is a genius!
Best, Kim
Edit: Just realized that 400 cycles is just over the one year warranty period, but prior to the ATT 2 year contract expiring. Damn he's good.

Let's not forget that you're locked into a long contract with AT&T, the suckiest of the network providers.

Jobs greatest invention is not the Mac, the IPod, or the IPhone. It's the apple flavored IKoolaid that people line up to drink with lemming behavior. Apple is not a brand, it's a religion. Gotta give him credit.

In another dissection website they said the battery had been soldered onto the motherboard. In order words, replacing the battery would be expensive in terms of labor costs. So not only do you have to do without the phone when you send it into the factory, but it's going to cost you one way or another.
If you're cynical you'd say that this machine was never meant for maintenance. It's designed as a throwaway.

Apple could come out with a real steaming pile, call it
the "iSuck" and the Appleheads would still line up to buy it.

Ah, the iHaters™ did knott disappoint...
Wow, where do I start?
First of all, the iPhone was knott mine. I borrowed one for a few minutes...
Yes, it's expensive. Let's see - the Motorola Razr cost $499 (w/2 year contract) when
it was released in 2004. I understand it has been somewhat of a success...
Oh, and anyone remember the Motorola Startac? $1250 to $1750, and they sold plenty of 'em.
When the iPod was released in 2001, it had a 5 GB hard drive and cost $499.
All the usual nay-sayers were out in force, as was to be expected.
Hmmm, I guess the iPod did pretty well too, if I'm knott mistaken (LOL).
I wonder how many of the iHaters™ will secretly sneak into an Apple store to
check out the iPhone? Or (gasp) even go so far as to eventually purchase one
once they finally see for themselves how seriously this thing kicks ass?
iHaters pwned.
