I’ve had the iPhone for a couple of days now and thought I would start listing features that I have found to be missing, or improvements I would like. I will add to this over time, then I can tick each one off if/when Apple decide to implement the changes
- You can’t forward SMS messages
- Unable to mark all emails as ‘read’
- Deleting multiple contacts
I’m sure I will come accross a few other things in the next few days. Having said that, I am totally loving my new toy!!

Saturday morning, and my girlfriend heads to work. I get up at the same time for some breakfast and realise we have no milk. So I head out to the local supermarket to pick some up. Whilst there I had a “quick-look” down the XBox 360 isle.
Guitar Hero III was reduced from £60 to £45.
Now, I have fancied purchasing this game for a while now, but thought I may not enjoy it, because I am really not into that type of music, how wrong could I have been.
I gave in to temptation, and made the purchase becuase of the offer.
I promptly made my way home, skipped breakfast, and loaded up the game. At first it was pretty hard, but now I am pretty good at it and I totally love this game, so much so, I think I am addicted!
This point was proven again this morning, and yesterday morning whilst getting ready for work. You see, I normally have a shower, get my shirt and tie on, then have breakfast whilst watching the news.
This morning, I got as for as opening the cereal box, and I thought to myself, what do I want more, this food, or a quick blast on GHIII? Food or GHIII? Food or GHIII? Food or GHIII? Food or GHIII?
5 minutes later and I’m in the middle of the living room floor, on my knees blasting out Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

So, yesterday, the iPhone 3G was available for pre-order on the O2 website. I promptly loaded up the website and added a 16gig version to my basket. I went through to the checkout. With my mouse hovering over the complete button, I suddenly had a change of heart and closed the window. Yes, why indeed? Well, you see, about 9 months ago, I made a schoolboy error (no, nothing to do with contraception), I signed a new 18-month contract with a different mobile network. So, I now have 9 months remaining. I kinda had in my head I was just going to get the new iPhone, and just pay off the remainder of my current contract, but it seems like such a waste of money (9 x £18).
I know I will give in eventually and go into an O2 store in the next couple of weeks and get a new iPhone, but I will be safe in the knowledge that I had the willpower to close that browser window.
