I have heard that you can't, I don't know much about these phones. And this would be a MAJOR drawback if this is the case, in fact I would not buy one.
So can you send picks and data to other devices/phones, whatever using bluetooth from the iphone?"
====================================================
Now, in my opinion, THIS is the only major disadvantage of the iPhone (non jailbroken) at the moment. No widgets...not a big deal. Limited number of home screens...who cares? No flash support for the web browser... if you use the iPhone you will hardly notice that, it still hast the best Internet experience when compared to other phones.
But the bluetooth thing, I agree, is a major feature which is lacking. Again, note that the iPhone has bluetooth, but Apple chose to block that feature. We all know why Apple doesnt allow bluetooth for transfering media like songs and videos... because they have the iTunes store. Fine, but they should allow the transfer of photos and other files! Again, jailbreaking solves this problem but it would have been nice to have this feature without jailbreaking.
By the way, why am I the only guy posting here at the moment? LOL! I need to get back to work!

QUOTE: "Let me give you a simple example to make it clear to understand.
It is like paying over 100k buying top of the range Porsche car, which has all the gimmics inside and out, like sat nave, high tech engine, performance like no others (lets just for a second dream this is the case for iphone4), then they tell you have all of these but the engine keeps breaking down every time you go round the corner, you just need to drive it in stright line!! would you buy this car to just play with the Sat nave or just enjoy the beauty of look of it and play games/music? what is the point if this car doesn't run proper! it wouldn't be a car , would it?
If you have a brian and little bit of sense of common , the answer is NO, I NEVER buy this !"
===================================================
Yeah nice try but that analogy really doesnt make sense. First of all, the iPhone 4 is not that much more expensive than other similar touchscreen smartphones. (And you're comparing it to a $100,000 Porsche?!)
And for the zillionth time, the iPhone does not have reception problems! Geez! Of course it's not your fault, it's the fault of the media. Have you EVER experienced a dropped call on the iPhone 4? Have you even used one? The iPhone 4 will lose signal ONLY when it is gripped in that unnatural way and ONLY when you are in an area of weak network coverage! And even then, chances are your call won't get dropped, just the reception bars will go down. And if (by chance) your call does drop, the same thing would have happened on most other phones!
Please put this argument to rest. (As well as the no real multitasking argument.) It's getting old now guys.

And let me again reply to my friend below who must have spent half his weekend writing his post on "iPhone 4 flaws" -- almost all the disadvantages you mentioned are nothing compared to the advantages of the iPhone. Mention the phone that you have and I could easily just as well make a similar list of flaws. Only difference is I don't come to this website to bash other phones.
And I hope you are aware that jailbreaking the iPhone makes many if not most of those "flaws" disappear right? Are people on this site even aware of how wonderful and easy (not to mention absolutely legal) jailbreaking is? It solves many of the limitations of the iPhone, while at the same time, keeping all the unique advantages of the iPhone.

Engineer Man, 02 Aug 2010Hey. Can you atach mp3 ringtones to any of the Iphone 4 OS.?QUOTE: "Hey. Can you atach mp3 ringtones to any of the Iphone 4 OS.?"
Good question. On a regular iPhone 4, no you cannot. That is a disadvantage I guess. There are plenty of ringtones to choose from, but you cannot add your own file (a recording or an mp3) as a ringtone. That's never been a problem for me, but yeah, I would have liked that option. Of course, you can always jailbreak your iPhone (a very simple procedure) and it opens all the doors...!

Um...ok. (trying not to laugh here.) First of all, that last sentence isn't even English, but I'll let that go.
How on earth is the iPhone 4 BASIC??! You people really make me laugh sometimess. Please don't mention the old "no real multitasking" argument because I've already explained that several times. Please reply to this with something useful because I'm really interested to know why you think it's a basic phone. And by the way, if you don't have an advanced smartphone yourself, your post is automatically IRRELEVANT. I'm not trying to start a war here, I just want a mature argument as to why you think the iPhone 4 is not a smartphone. (And please don't mention "no FM radio" or "no stereo speakers".

To the guy below who pointed out all the "flaws" of the iPhone 4 - damn you spent quite a lot of time on your post. You must be pretty interested in the iPhone considering you did so much research on it! Which phone do you have? If your phone is so great, why do you feel the need to spend 10-15 mins of your day on some random messageboard talking about some other phone? Haha...I seriously don't mean to be rude buddy but I kind of feel sorry for you! It's just a phone my friend. Here's an idea - why don't you go to appropriate forum your own phone (whether it's Nokia or whatever) and make some useful posts there! Or do you not have anything useful to say about your own phone?

One of these iphone fans wrote on Friday that why am i giving iphone 4 hard times over the Antenna issue, he said "this is not a big deal and the plastic pumper will resolve the issue!!"
Now for some of dreamers who are still living in fantasy land of icon, here is the reasons why,
let me give you a simple example to make it clear to understand.
It is like paying over 100k buying top of the range Porsche car, which has all the gimmics inside and out, like sat nave, high tech engine, performance like no others (lets just for a second dream this is the case for iphone4), then they tell you have all of these but the engine keeps breaking down every time you go round the corner, you just need to drive it in stright line!! would you buy this car to just play with the Sat nave or just enjoy the beauty of look of it and play games/music? what is the point if this car doesn't run proper! it wouldn't be a car , would it?
If you have a brian and little bit of sense of common , the answer is NO, I NEVER buy this !
So this is the same argument, why do I need a phone which doesn't have a good reception, keep droping the calls, basically it can't perfome the most BASIC function of the phone and that making a call without drop calls (like driving your car) ? why do anyone in the right mind want such a phone? why do I need a plastic to put round my phone to make this right?
so have a bit of sense, and keep well away from this piece of plastic unless you jut want to use it as a itune, this is not a phone!
