30 flaws in Indian iPhone
1. You cannot forward a SMS message, you have to retype it.
2. Mediocre camera. The worst camera I’ve ever seen….. photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera. Nokia N95 has a 5 mega pixel camera and full screen video recording and TV-out.
3. Bluteooth is only limited to headset use. No file transfer.
4. No camera settings what so ever, No autofocus, No flash.
5. No 3g video calls over 3g network.
6. No copy paste function.
7. No songs as ring tones!
8. Plastic casing. Earlier it was metallic casing.
9. No FM RADIO –hah hah hah… you are at stone age.
10. No video recording.
11. Overpriced in India by 4 times. It costs around Rs.30,000/-
12. Safari web browser does not support flash & java. No sync between notes & to do’s.
14. No office document editor.
15 No AD2P on the Bluetooth.
16 No removable battery. You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!…This is not an iPod. Its a phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days. Emergency gone, ur left utterly helpless…u throw this piece out.
17 Cannot send MMS.
18. Cannot use as external storage device. 16 GB of utter waste.
19. Cant share any mp3, images,video files via Bluetooth.
20. Can’t use as a wireless modem. You pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone, but cannot connect it to it.
21 Can’t receive MMS messages!
22. It lacks proper support for Flash websites.
23. It only allows for a maximum of 1 picture to be attached to each e-mail you send!
24. You cannot save documents on it. Documents can only be viewed as attachments when they’re sent to your e-mail address
25. No Voice Dialing!
26. You can’t send your contacts as business card.
27 Its not fingure print resistant- as iPhone is a touch screen phone, it is bound to get your fingure print everytime you touch so it will get dirty very easily.
28. You can’t pair it with stereo bluetooth headset, yes its true iPhone inspite of being a music phone does not support A2DP.
29. It doesn’t have a file browser and organizer!
30. THE BIGGEST ONE - ONCE YOU ARE ON 3G NETWORK, YOU CANNOT MAKE CALLS TO A PHONE ON 2G NETWORK. SO IF YOU WANT TO CALL A PERSON WHO IS NOT HAVING A 3G PHONE, SORRY, YOU HAVE TO FING A PCO!
STILL WANT TO BUY? Do not think of buying 3G iPhone even if you want to have it as the standby.

I don’t think #30 is true. Also #28 and #15 is same.
I agree that the iPhone has it’s own defects, but this list seems to be made to fit the catcy “30 flaws…” title.
For me the biggest gripes are
* No replaceable battery
* No A2DP
* No customizable ring tones
* No mobile office for documents, spread sheets and powerpoints
* Had to install iTunes to use the phone, come on why I need a PC/Mac to customize my phone?!
* Many issues with Exchange support that makes it pretty much difficult to use for Exchange mail (read corporate users!)
All the above are the features I currently have with my 2 year old Windows Mobile phone upgraded with the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS
Albeit the form factor and UI is pretty awesome, affinity for which will fade away in a week
