iPhone's Missing Feature

I love my iPhone. There… I said it.

There is one problem with it (and I don’t blame Apple for it). Multimedia Messaging is pretty much non-existent with non-iPhone friends & family. My family continues to send me pictures/videos via text message… because they can with their other friends and family. I find myself looking at the following message quite often.

Then I go to AT&T’s AMAZING site…

Great work AT&T! Apple… this is tainting my experience with the iPhone. Make them fix it!

Apple listens to Robby and releases an iPhone

Well, they must be listening to me.

A few months ago, I posted that I was looking to switch mobile services. Well, I switched over to Cingular after a lot of back and forth and have been fairly happy with their service. I opted to get their lowend/entry phone as I wanted to get a nicer phone when I found something that met my requirements.

I wanted…

wifi
bluetooth
ssh client
lightweight web browsing
scheduling that sync’d well with ical

Well, I hadn’t found anything that really caught my attention. So, I heard rumors about Apple releasing a phone in January. So… I waited.

So, how much is this going to cost us? ..a few of us here came up with our predictions.

Thank you, Apple!

...well… I would have given Apple a hug if I didn’t have to wait til June.

...back to work.
