True, but then all you have are a list of complaints. I agree with the basic idea of what you're saying, I just think that in general, this being a brand new os, how can you not compare it to other brand new os's? As far as rushing it, many thought it took way too long to be released. Plus, if you will compare it to the iPhone's current app store, the grand majority of the apps are 3rd party. How can 3rd party apps come out before the phone was released?
As far as Apple's next gen phone, I still think its ridiculous. I know this is not the place for this, so I'll keep it brief, but adding in a few features that are standards for everyone else is not a next gen phone. Compasses are already on any phone with gps, and this phone still does not have flash nor a camera flash. Regardless, I do not own a pre yet, my contract just ran out July 1st, and I'm still on the fence whether to get this or go to the iPhone. I just think the phone has enough issues, and on this one point about the app store, its not a major concern yet. Sorry for the rant, this is just something I personally have been thinking about.
