Will picture messaging be available on the 2g?!

It doesn't look like it at the moment no

..but as you know, if someone sends you a picture message you'll get a web link and when you click on it you can see the picture.

A much better way with the iphone is just to email the pictures anyway

[josh.p.]

tbh I think the link way is a bit easier anyway, it stores them online as 'backup' too!

Sorry - but a mobile phone you have to plug in every day is not very mobile.

I know you Apple fans will disagree but that is the Apple way - you cut Apple an awful lot of slack!

They do look nice though - and work well - but there is a payoff.

Well it's not cutting them slack, it's saying that the way it works is absolutely no problem for us

If the phone doesn't function in the way you want it to, email apple and tell them then get rid of it and buy one that does until such a time as apple make one with a battery life that works for your lifestyle.

This is why there's choice out there I guess!

i love mine and it's no worse than some other phones like the prada which i had a while back which was not easy to use at all.

I just think we're at the limits of battery technology at a certain price point, weight and size.

I mean Apple could easily make the phone last twice as long by putting a double battery in there which I guess they'd do if their market research showed that more people wanted longer battery life than a slim phone.

Things move on though, so who knows how long the next iphone will last

My Nokia 6500 Slide won't last a day if I text heavily.
