The iPhone’s camera does a darned fine job when it comes to taking quick and dirty pictures—launch it, press one key and it takes a pretty decent snap (for a mobile phone). More megapixels are required to take larger pictures, not better. And no mobile phone camera can take pictures with quality worthy of being framed—what’s the point of all those megapixels then which add to the bulk of the phone and slow down the camera’s operation?
Oh my God, I cannot forward stupid messages to my dimwit friends who spend at least one hour every day reading and replying to useless messages and expect me to do that same. I’m so doomed!
Sure, it’s a genuine drawback (because when you do want to forward the occasional important message, you have to type it all over again because there’s no copy-paste either), but not even nearly important enough for me to even momentarily think about. In fact, it’s proven itself to be a boon for me. Before the iPhone came along, my idiotic friends used to keep bugging me to send them forwards, sending me messages calling me a miser and “too important” or other such nonsense.
Now, they know I cannot forward messages at all, so they don’t expect me too. As a bonus, most of them are showing their anger by not sending me any forwards, so I only have to delete about one or two messages each day now, as opposed to the fifty I used to before. Win-win for me.
I know you don’t realise it* but you’re actually just agreeing with what I said.

People who need good quality pictures all the time do need to “carry a heavy 8 mega pixel digital camera” around. For everyone else, the iPhone camera does an OK job. Sure, it could be made even better but I’m glad that’s not Apple’s priority. It will be upgraded when everything else is working exactly as it should.
*… because you’re slow…
Both SMS forwarding and Bluetooth file sharing are good features and it’s a shame the iPhone lacks them. I did not disagree with that. I only threw in a scenario specific to me where not having the ability to forward texts has turned out to be exceedingly useful, whilst also mentioning how the feature could be useful sometimes.

It doesn’t give me the most important feature of the iPhone—EDGE on an iPhone. EDGE on that other phone won’t do and iPod touch doesn’t have EDGE, so an iPhone is my only option anyway.
Yeah, because that’s what I need in my pocket at all times, a phone that takes huge pictures.
And that phone with a 3.2 MP camera is twice the thickness of the iPhone, so you aren’t really saving any space. You also have two devices to keep charged, and you have to pause your music and unplug your ears every time you wish to make a call or receive one. And since no phone with a 3.2MP camera comes without music and video capabilities, you’d be wasting those (after having paid for them).
Yeah, rumours, the most trustworthy source out there.
Yeah, that might be a possibility, though that would probably mean having to bump the iPhone up a notch too. Maybe they’ll just drop the 8GB model of the iPod touch and keep only the 16GB and 32GB variants at the lowered prices. Then they won’t have to bump up the iPhone.
