Forced by a broadband fault to max out my iPhone usage… I will be really happy to be corrected about anything in what follows.

Although email is able to receive some attachments it doesn’t seem able to send them.

I can’t resend an email. I had made a typo in the address (not one of my contacts) and it had bounced back so I wanted to send again to the right address. This would have been easy with cut n paste. Instead I had to forward it and I didn’t like the fact that it indicated the forwarding with a blue line in the margin.

I have experimented with Writingpad because it allows me to write a generic email and then pass that to the email app and make modifications before sending. Then I go back to Writingpad to send again making further modifications as necessary. This does work well except it is really impossible to type in a URL because it insists on putting a space after every full point.

When reading PDFs links don’t seem to work. I have a 200 page PDF to go through and I only seem to be able to scroll.

I really miss handwriting recognition. I can write very quickly on my SE p990i and it makes very few mistakes whereas typing on this iPhone is laborious.

No caps lock.

The screen rotation in safari is really good but I need it in email!

Some really basic mobile phone functionality is missing:
MMS – I have to go to O2 in Safari to get the message!
Bluetooth – only good if you want to use a headset, not if you want send anything.
Video – guess there’s an app somewhere that does it, but not ‘out of the box’
