All these talk but nothiing solid or current to praise the phone for. I have said my 'actual' disadvantages (Read it), but others just talk about what the future brings or hope for... where is the 'actual' advantages over other phones? Present tense is wat we want to know.... not future tense. Google it? Sure, let's scrap lowyat forum for good ... cos google is our friend anyway.
My wife had an iphone and I gladly gave it away. She hated it. (is that your excuse for me stating the disadvantages?)
Tweaking?!
If the standard package sucks, it sucks ... if talk about tweaking, any phone also can be tweaked to the max. Might as well overclock it while at it.
And like wat others have said, touch screen is not for phones. Try doing something without looking at the phone. If touch screen is that good, we wouldn't need keyboards or phone buttons (office/home) anymore.
Okay for the sake of ending this, I'll bring myself down to his level:

Finger friendly multi-touch screen (hey smart @$$, know the difference?) that allows apps that are impossible with normal touch screens such as Pianist and Guitar. Great 3D rendering capabilities that will see console games such as spore released by EA on the iPhone platform (this is not a promise, it's confirmed, they showed the demo). Intuitive GUI means you don't have to scroll through a thousand menus to do one thing (I'm looking at you, Windows Mobile).
I'd like to see you "tweak" a screen to be finger friendly. All the other touchscreens are a b**** to use with fingers and styluses just takes away a degree of freedom.
No lag at all when it comes to menu navigation. I can vouch for that because I dunno, I actually have one?
Full featured HTML browser which is lightyears ahead of Opera Mini and Internet Explorer Mobile, although lacking Flash which none of the other browsers have anyway.
320x480 3.5"screen, watching videos on it is a joy. Have I mentioned that there is no lag? Anyone who complains about lag should try out the N-series or even a non-smartphone Sony Ericsson.
All the little stuff that are a nice touch: I-Chat style SMS. Smooth photo navigation (Looking through photos are a joy with multi-touch) and of course, the upcoming App store (confirmed, not a "promise") that will see the release of hundreds of nice apps (confirmed, not a "promise"), the iPod software etc...
A phone that gets better and better with constant software updates.
And also, in addition to all these features, it looks great as well. Like you said, it's a "fashion accessory" (geez, spare me)
Lots more actually, but why waste time on a sad little man who can't be bothered to search the forum and instead demands to know the advantages of the phone in a disadvantages thread?
By the way, your list of "disadvantages":
1) cant search name in phone book by few alphabets
There is a list of alphabets on the side, tap on it and it'll bring you there. Or you can scroll through many contacts at once by flicking your finger upwards. You can also save your most dialled numbers to your favourites.
2) slow to read/write sms
Mine's smooth as heck and the others have already mentioned that there is no problem. If there are hundreds of SMS is a single thread, then it's bound to lag, even the Nokia and SE phone so I don't know what you're on about..
Oh hang on, you mean you're illiterate so you're slow to read and write? Haha!! All is forgiven then. Yeah, that is a disadvantage. The iPhone doesn't have a "Learn English" app..
3) cannot send contacts
I'll concede that point so okay, the iPhone is useless because it can't send contacts. Talk about sacrificing the forest for the tree!
4) cannot delete multiple sms at one time
You can delete the entire thread if you want or you can install iSMS, in which case, problem solved!
5) EDGE has to be turned off
Okay, this is retarded, honestly. If you don't want to use EDGE at all, then deactivate it by calling MAXIS/Celcom/DIGI. In any case, EDGE is a per-download service so you only get charged if you use it. The phone will only connect to EDGE when you access Internet-related apps, the SAME as any other EDGE phone..
Your argument is so flawed, I don't know where to start. I would really like to see you overclock a Nokia N95 processor, no, really. Sure, any phone can be tweaked to the max, hey, why not tweak the HTC Touch so its touch screen won't be so shite? Try "tweaking" the Symbian phones so it won't lag as much. Or hey, "tweak" the Internet Explorer/Opera Mini browsers to render pages properly.
Who died and made you the king of all consumers? The touch screen is not for you, not everyone thinks this way but hey, speak for everyone else, why don't you.
But hey you know what, I totally agree. My wife hates it so the iPhone suxzorss!!!! Now, I must preach to the whole world that it's useless like a 5 year old brat. Who cares if it's a DISADVANTAGES thread, I wanna know the ADVANTAGES because, you know, I understand English, really, I do. Yep, that sounds like logic to me.
Hahaha, run along now, little boy, you're pathetic. Hehehe, crazy consumer, his nickname is such an irony.
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, we can leave the sad troll behind and get on with the thread...
