After reading the thread I would like to talk on a few negative points that are being discussed here:
1) No Instant Messaging: I don't see why you guys are giving so much importance to it. IM in smart phone world doesn't mean Yahoo! or MSN messengers. It is just IM. It is a network service where you login to your network provider's (like Airtel, Hutch; not available in India yet) server and chat with some buddy of yours in same network who has also subscribed to the service. It works like SMS Chat but is cheaper. It is available in reasonably newer symbian phones. I don't know why Apple is giving it a skip but it is not a big deal and your web messengers should be safe
2) Java not supported: How can you guys say that? No Java icon on iPhone page? But then that is not necessary anymore. Sun has open sourced its Java Micro Edition (mobile platform specific java) and there is no need for the display of all those logos etc. So you can't be sure what Apple is doing with that thing.
3) No SDK: If this speculation is true then it is a disastrous drawback. There is no way Apple can make iPhone popular without supporting 3rd party applications in an easier way. The earlier they realise this fact...the better.
4) No GPRS: Only Saurav could have said something like that. An absolutely ridiculous statement!!!
