I have been holding out to replace my TREO 600 for something substatially better (had the TREO600 for almost 4 years). I was glad for the pre-announcement and the TREO held out for 6 more months (Jan-June). I love the iphone and want to be as optomistic as you, but I just returned from a visit to the Apple store to answer a list of 18 questions stemming from my first week with the iphone. Unfortunately there were 16 No's, 1 yes and 1 kind of. I hope you are right with the 3rd party apps and something up Apple's sleeve, because I am giving up many features I had on the Treo. Here is a highlight of my biggest concerns: - No cut/copy/paste - had this almost 20 years ago on my MAC - Where is OSX on this primative front? - No search - of notes and other desired content (word, excel, pdf, etc. - wasn't Google in on the iphone?) - No grouping of notes - Folders are used elsewhere, why not for notes. No backup of notes on my computer. - Contact info - no grouping by category or company. Missing key fields like job title (business use) - ebooks - would like to read on the airplane, but no way to save an ebook to the iphone. - read email in landscape mode. - fast locating of contacts. Scrolling is great, but I have over 150 contacts starting with "M" alone. liked the Treo's first initial/last name that got me to the contact I wanted (out of over 2000) in 3-4 letters.</p> <p>There are more, but these are some of the more substantial issues.</p> <p>Would love to have a conversation with you and plan to follow your continued findings. Fortunately the shortcomings identified should be solved by improved software not require purchase of iphone generation 2.</p> <p>Great info from you and hope you can help in finding a way to overcome some of these shortcomings.</p> I like the fact that you are a smartphone expert.

There are more, but these are some of the more substantial issues.

Would love to have a conversation with you and plan to follow your continued findings. Fortunately the shortcomings identified should be solved by improved software not require purchase of iphone generation 2.

Great info from you and hope you can help in finding a way to overcome some of these shortcomings.

I wanted to put a subway map into my phone; I tried pulling in a large jpeg (1600×1200, which I read was the resolution of the camera) and I can’t zoom all the way in – the image is scaled very poorly.

I haven’t been able to find this information anywhere yet…
