Introduction

My list of iPhone quibbles. I love it, don't get me wrong. And pretty much everything I have an issue with can be fixed with a software update thankfully.

 
 

No MMS

 
I mean at the VERY least there should be some way for ppl sending to know I didn't get it. I'm a big fan of sending picture messages. While I can email a lot of people (both mobile and regular) some of them can't send MMS messages to me.
 
 

No video record

 
Goes along with the no MMS. I don't record a ton of vids, but on occasion I do, or I'd like to.
 
 

No custom ringtones

 
Come on, add a tab in the "Get Info" in iTunes and let me select a 30 second clip to play as a ringtone.
 
 

Vibrate mode

 
One its kind of weak as it stands. I want there to be a few vibra-alerts. Different lengths, rhythms, etc.
 
 

Better app switching

 
If I'm on maps and look up something, go to the webpage from the link in the map, there should be an easier way to get back to maps. Or if I'm in Safari and I get an SMS, read it. There should be an easier way to get back to Safari.
 
 

Documentation

 
I know they love their packaging at Apple. I love it too. But for Pete's sake put the iPhone user guide in the farkin' box.
 
 

Landscape QWERTY

 
Not just Safari, system wide.
 
 

Slow charging

 
Just too used to my Nano I guess. Also it was charging off the USB of my work computer.
 
 

Better Google integration

 
With Google being tied into it so much, I hoped that the Gmail integration would be better. Simple POP email box. It's a little annoying how it's works to be honest. Why'd Yahoo get the push email and not Google, grr.
 
 

Custom homepage

 
I don't need all the apps that are on the home page. Let me remove some.
 
 

Better handling of dialing prefixes

 
Okay, I block my caller ID. Whatever. And Moto's can't do it either. But I add dialing prefixes to unblock my number for a few people. But iPhone freaks when I have the dialing prefix when I'm text messaging. So for each contact I have number with prefix, number without prefix, number@wirelessprovider (for an MMS workaround)
 
 

Gimme games!

Still don't get why you block your caller ID... :) (I know, I am probably unblocked in your phonebook, but still, lol)...
