Ok, so I have been using the iPhone for a few days and I've discovered a few problems with it. Some of these I already knew ahead of time but I didn't think it would be that big a deal.
First is the headphone jack. Apple decided to make the headphone jack slightly recessed so that only very small headphone plugs will fit into it. Since they include a set of headphones, with built-in microphone, I guess they thought nobody would ever want to use anything else. I like to listen to music and podcasts in my car but my existing mini-plug to mini-plug cable would not work. I had to buy a new one from Belkin. It works great but I wish I hadn't had to buy it.
Next is the fact that the iPhone will not send or receive MMS messages even though it has a built-in camera. I know they phone has e-mail capabilities but it is so convenient to be able to snap a picture and just send it to someone else's phone. If anyone tries to send you a picture you get a notification and a website to visit. You are given a message ID and password to retrieve the picture but half of the time there is a problem and you can't get it. You have to keep trying until it works. Then there doesn't seem to be any way to save the picture. As far as I know the iPhone is the only camera phone on the market that doesn't support MMS.
Third is the automatic screen locking. While I love this feature most of the time I find it a hassle to use while driving. There should be an easier way to pause the music or advance to the next track than having to push the home button, swipe to unlock the screen and then make your selection. To be fair if a call comes in while music is playing the iPhone automatically fades and pauses the player while you answer the call. Even so I still would like to have more control with the screen locked.
So these are my main gripes so far. I'm sure I'll discover more as time goes by. Overall I am very impressed with the iPhone. It isn't perfect but it is by far the best mobile phone out there today
