I'd like to see them try. You can drive a Ferrari over these things and they won't break. It'll likely break the blender.

    Granted, the iphone can't do certain things, but that list needs to be way shorter.

      have you looked at the list below? (http://tiny.cc/iPhone3GS_review)

      Are you confortable with thousands of people seeing it and reading the arguments in there? It's not like most of them aren't true you know?

      You should stop provoking people especially when you don't have an argument, you only cripple apple's reputation.

      Peace

                  I'm done with you guys, you're making things up, and I suggest any iphone owner should ignore these comments.

                  What a joke you all are (^^) I bet you all love the SE headphone jacks (^^)

                              A 2 inch screen ?

                              I know that we don't all need to have a 3,5'' I-phone screen !

                              But make it at least 2.4'' for better user experience (Such as comfortable reading/typing a sms) With a 5MP camera and 32GB memory this isn't a budget phone so why use a budget screen ?

                                        "iDon't have a bright enough screen." That's just so wrong.

                                        "iDon't have IR." *rolls around laughing* Who uses that? You'll be slamming the iphone for having no ariel next.

                                        "iDon't have a light sensor." WRONG WRONG WRONG

                                        "iDon't have a decent build quality, iCrack." Haha, I'd take the iphone's build quality over most N-series any day! xD
