The training manual for IPhone help desk operators has been leaked, and it reveals a variety of deficiencies in the device compared to most high-end phones, things Apple would rather have kept secret until you have already locked yourself into a 2 year contract.
The manual indicates there is no Instant Messaging client, no Multimedia messaging, no built-in GPS (a rumour going around a few weeks ago), and the fanboys are mad.
It seems like every over-hyped device, the truth is always much less than the fictions fans spin for themselves.

i was all set to buy the iphone. i even have one set aside at an at&t store but unless apple truly impresses me at launch i may have to cancel. yea! i can browse the internet while chatting with a mate. very useful indeed. oh but wait, i can't send a pic or vid of my daughter doing something super funny because… why? who knows? i am getting kind of sick of the Apple, what we don't tell you is good for you. as is with any popular trend i think the novelty of apple secrecy may be wearing off. seriously. if you want me to spend $600 on a f'ing phone you better give me all the bullets i can relay to the wifey on why that money needs to be expensed. i am not rich and not poor but a huge apple fan. to tell you the truth these specs do not impress me at all. and if they wait until launch to expose some (not earth shattering) but current features that most high end phones have, that are lacking from this leaked skill set, i will be more than unimpressed but insulted. they have a huge hurdle to overcome from just this manual. you need to make it useful not just easier. and if this document is any indication Apple is betting on their marketing more than their engineering.
