I bought the Iphone 4 yesterday and I'm very disappointed with it,
it lacks some essential features found on any other mobile.
For instance you can't use bluetooth to share files with another phone.
The text messages inbox doesn't have separate folders for sent messages. It's all done in one conversation but if you want to save one particular message out of that conversation you can't. You can't either save a draft, you can't get a delivery report either.
I'm sure I will find more annoying things...
It's really sad because is a nice phone to look at but I don't understand how come some simple things are not available.
I think I'm gonna return it and maybe get an HTC Desire HD

No iPhone has ever done those things. Research much?I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair0 -

What you have is buyers remorse ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer%27s_remorse)
It sounds like you bought it in store, unfortunalty you will have very little luck in returning it, there is no legal right to a cooling off period for anything bought in store. If there is it's at the goodwill of the store.
Good luck.0 -

Perhaps you need to do a little more research.
It's always been the case that to fully exploit the potential of the iPhone you need to jailbreak it.====0 -

no, is not remorse, I've been wanting an Iphone for long. It's just that I couldn't imagine those simple features are not available:(
yes, I bought it store, I can return it within 14 days, that's what the Live Chat person from Apple just told me0 -

The bluetooth thing on the iPhone is a bit of an annoyance, but iPhones have always been that way and maybe it's just me, but I very rarely send anything via bluetooth anyway.0 -

If you bought it from Apple you probably can, if you pbught it with a contract from a network probably not.0 -
this is why ppl should research before they buy smartfones.... too many people r blindly buying into the iphone hype, when on closer inspection is a CACK fone.0
