Give him a day and he can make them up. He's a bit slow, ya know.
Sorry for not patrolling this forum with the fierce dedication that nay-sayers and haters have.
Anyway, I have cut and paste those points from Engadget below with my response included.
• The keyboard was simply described as "disappointing". Keyboarding with two thumbs often registers multiple key presses (two or three at a time) resulting in a lot of mistakes. The best way to type is with a single finger (as shown in most of Apple's demos), but two thumbs is supposedly very difficult. After trying it for a number of days our source gave up using their thumbs.
• The text auto-correction only works well for simple words, but doesn't work for proper names. We can only assume this bit will get better with time as Apple fills out its predictive text dictionary.
Ridiculous. First off, other phones don't have auto-correction for proper names so you can stop right there. Regardless, I am told the iPhone actually does have auto-correction for proper names which it has access to in the address book.
• "It won't replace a BlackBerry. It's not good for text input. It's just not a business product."
It IS a good business product. It has a highly capable phone with never-before seen features. For example, with the iPhone, unlike ANY other phone, when the ear is farther from the speaker, the degraded bass response that occurs due to sound leaking and distance, is improved upon by equalization which adjusts the bass relative to the rest of the output signal in response to the distance as measured by the proximity sensor.
It is good for text input. You can fly through typing after getting used to the phone apparently, because you only need to tap/touch the keys, not press/depress/punch like other phones.
• The touchscreen was said to, in general, require somewhat hard presses to register input, and needs some getting used to.
This is odd especially since the phone registers the input as you let up off the screen. Even so, its a glass screen... this complaint makes no since.
• In addition to its dock, the iPhone comes packaged with a polishing cloth (the thing's supposedly a fingerprint magnet, no surprise) and the usual smallish power adapter.
I don't believe it will come with a dock. I may be mistaken but this does not seem likely. Why didn't they list the other accessories that actually come with it? Did they just want to project some idea like "even Apple is admitting the screen choice is a bad idea by including a polishing cloth" or some such non-sense.
• The Bluetooth headset will debut in the $120 range, and will come with its own dock for charging both the phone and the headset. The headset will feature a miniature magnetic charging interface ? la MagSafe.
• The Bluetooth headset has a hidden LED and is supposedly a very small and elegant device. Sound quality is said to be "typical". There is no clip; like many headsets you're expected to just let it hang out of your ear, as previously shown.
• The browser "worked well" but page load speeds on EDGE were just as slow as expected. It sounds like 3G users will have a tough run with this.
What was expected? 3G? T1? Browsing speeds are faster than the Treo 680 or the Motorola, which is good considering they all have access to the same data speed.
• Users must scroll through the address book (or use the alphabet-drag on the side) -- one cannot bring up the keyboard and type in a name, as many of us are used to.
• Shocker: YouTube over EDGE didn't work well at all, and will basically necessitate use of WiFi.
