-- No MMS(Send or receive pictures through text messages)
--not delivering 3g signal very often(if u promise high speed, then deliver), lawsuits pending.
--No speed dial-- No Java--Allow you to abbreviate in text messages
--No call recording--
In Canada, you must submit to a 3-year jail sentence to get one
no In-Call and regular Voice Recording
You can’t even customize your main screen to post notes; change around
icons--you [SIZE=small]Use an mp3 of your choice for its ringtone--
--doesn't [/size]Sort your recent INCOMING / OUTGOING calls separately
--blocks hotmail--Can’t select specific ring tone for unknown callers--
--No horizontal keyboard mode---Can’t empty email box with one click
-- No flash--no tabbed browsing
--no camera flash--No optical, digital zoom--
--O, and if you unlock it, none of the official “apple store” aps will work
--$60 for a data plan that offers only 400 MB--i pay 7bucks for unlimited, as much as I can use both ways.(total calling bill is 37$...buddies iphone through rogers is 150+ a month....you do the math.
--I could go on and on about some of the ungodlike things about this phone but i would probably burn out the internet.In the end i can watch all my cable tv unbuffered to my phone in the boonies, as long as i have a dial tone(no use for driving around looking for wifi....can you hear me now?) via my computer, tether it to a laptop or computer. Gps lock in four seconds.Basically my htc is totally awesome. Do you see how much homebrew is available for these phones?...what you can do with them? Like i said the iphone is a nice build but you have to weigh the issues and the hype.

I'm prolly late to the party here, but I have to chime in. You sir, are pretty much wrong on a lot of accounts.
Not to defend the iPhone here, I don't really like it myself, but I will give it credit where credit is due. First of all, WTF are you talking about with "full internet" on intel based architecture? And how is this different from the touch pro? Both are ARM devices, so your argument fails. Not even sure what point you want to make.
Next, you can jailbreak and run whatever you want without Apple controlling you. Yes its a crappy approach, but it does work.
You can change around icons on the home screen. You can use a song as a ringtone.
Not sure about it blocking hotmail, I don't see why/how it would though.
There is horizontal and vertical keyboard modes, just depends on the app.
If you jailbreak, appstore still works just fine. Data plan is just as unlimited as our Sprint data plans, now adays.
There is a lot of homebrew on the iPhone too, you just have to have half a brain and be unbiased about it. I would take the Touch Pro over the iPhone any day, but the iPhone isnt quite as bad as you make it out to be. You sound just like those reviewers on cnet saying TouchPro/Sprint don't have 3G in your post.
