Doesn't have MMS either? And I remember Apples response, which I think was Steve Jobs. "Well, not having 3G is not a big issue cause there are so many WI-FI hotspots you really don't need it" . Which was far from the truth. Oh yeah, and ATT's plans were ridiculously higher than Sprints. I just could not bring myself to pay significantly more for a phone that to me had significant features missing. I'm not going to deny it does some great things, but yeah I'll say it, I do not like the way Apple tries to convince people what they think they need and don't need and how they try to hide the truth.

Nothing wrong with hating Apple, I hate them more than anyone, I always hated that company. I hate Macs especially and the suckers who spend over 2000 on a laptop you can buy with similar specs for 500. I also hated how they try to control the iphone and won't let you unlock it even though you own it. I think their one the most crooked companies out there. I hope the lawsuit against them for not unlocking the iphone wins and teaches them a lesson.
However, I still like the iphone, its still a fantastic device, too bad the company itself is arrogant being run by some jerk. Google is no better either, they are starting to get arrogant too and have way too much info on people. I guess any company that gets too large becomes like that, just look at Verizon for a perfect example.
