I pretty much agree with everything you say here - terrific interface and device, but lacking some basic features.
Regarding the bit about installing apps... because you have presumably had to 'jailbreak' yours to get it working on another network, I guess this is how you managed to get the extra apps installed?

These are just the drawbacks I can think of!! As well as the lack of 3G it does make it a pretty shite device as a phone.
HOWEVER.....it is gorgeous and I still love it!!
(I have downloaded apps now to be able to forward on texts, send multiple texts, receive mms (but not send as yet) as well as a few other functions)
Not sure why Apple were so short sighted and just looked at the phone market around them. All of the missing functions are now BASIC functions that even £9.99 pay as u go phones have!!
