Low-quality camera
No video-recording support
No built-in voice dialing
Limited Bluetooth functionality
No support for text selection
Cut
Copy and paste
Apple may have rectified the recessing 3.5mm headphone socket with a standard jack
So you can plug in some decent cans
But they ignored our pleas for a better camera. Why change the rest then stick with the two-megapixel camera
Eh Apple?
Can’t render Flash content
No video recording or MMS
Poor battery life
Battery life typically smartphone-poor GPS functionality not quite there yet Texting still needs work Camera remains poor
Battery life worse than predecessor
Camera still lags way behind rivals
Plastic case feels less solid
Downloading time
Poor battery life with 3G switched on
Doesnt play Flash
Camera could be better/ no video
No copy paste possibility
Bluetooth flexibility
Still limited to O2
Some will be disappointed that the camera hasn't been improved
Will undoubtedly lose some chicappeal as it becomes inevitably ubiquitous

Battery drains juice faster than a toddler in the desert. AT&T's 3G network riddled with more holes than Krispy Kreme. Want to cut and paste? Bust out the scissors and glue. Plastic back highly susceptible to nicks and scratches. Still no MMS. Did we ment

App store offers tons more functionality. Faster 3G network. GPS.
Mediocre battery life. Some apps could have used more testing. Higher data plan rates. No bundled SMS
