iPhone 2.2 beta 2 seeded to developers
Look, we don’t want to get into it this time. Apple seeded new firmware to developers, it doesn’t do any of the things we all want it to do, end of story. Well, almost end of story. Version 2.2 beta 2 of the iPhone firmware might not let you copy / paste, type an email in landscape mode, receive an image or video via MMS or receive push notifications for third party apps… But you can look around Google Maps in street view now! Woo hoo! How useful a feature – we’re so glad Cupertino is so focused on it as opposed to, say, implementing a system that will actually make third-party apps a tad useful. Kudos fellas. Giving iPhone users the ability to look around at buildings and trees from random points around the country is far more important than the rest of the features we’re waiting for. Well, at least there’s also walking and public transportation directions included in this version. Super, can’t wait.
You said it well. As for me, I want Bluetooth compatibility with Bluetooth stereo headphones and Bluetooth keyboards. I also want the ability to update podcasts over Wi-Fi. C’mon Apple, let’s get this stuff done.
Yes but your Blackberry doesn’t do wifi. What a joke.
You guys are pretty funny, all those features you keep listing are not dealbreakers. If they were Apple wouldn’t be selling that many phones, Apple knows this, which is why they aren’t in any rush to implement them, as long as iphones keep flying off the shelf, Apple won’t be in a rush to implement all those features you want. Funny thing is y’all knew the iphone didn’t have those features but still went ahead and bought it.
Tell Apple you want Copy and Paste through their feedback website. They’re a lot of kids and those who love [trendy] toys and have no need for functionality who love all these non practical useful features like copy and paste and video/voice recording and dialing.

Muntari, shhh, You’re naivety is showing. Apple’s iPhone is trendy. I know many people who bought the iPhone just because of it’s looks cool and then were disappointed at how little basic features it had. A lot of people regret buying their iPhone and Apple’s policy of no returns is working…so people are stuck with an iTouch that also makes and receives calls. I can’t wait for the Blackberry and other competing products with Copy and Paste to make a huge dent in Apple’s iPhone’s sales.
Well Maps and directions are a cute toy for some of us. But I think whats holding the iPhone back from being a serious player in the Enterprise is the user base in general. I went from a Blackberry to my iPhone because I support 500+ handhelds. I was suffering from BB withdrawal but The iPhone for good and bad isnt all that bad. It needs time to mature. Once apple gets serious about Calendar (inviting to meetings) Email (landscape keyboard). Those 2 things will bring it a long way to a real Enterprise contender. Look , make fun of Blackberry’s all you want. They do what they do real well and noone can take that away from them.
Wonder how many times a day Steve Jobs sees a text that says “I sent you a multimedia message. You can view my message…”. I know i see it at least 3 times a day.
iPhone Users,
The laughter about the iPhone is getting bigger and bigger. They implement these super highly sophisticated features, but don’t even have the basic ones like copy and paste. I think all the users of the iPhone should boycott the iPhone and AT&T/Apple until they make this phone more practical. Maybe if they feel the pressure, they will do something about it. If you are looking for a real practical touchscreen phone, check out the new Blackberry storm or the HTC MAX 4G that’s coming out.
See ya

Hi, cpilch, absolutely agree. Just bought the phone and stupidly upgraded to 2.2 without jailbreaking it and now.. now.. what shall I do? Just sit and cry or prefer to risk to loose the phone while downgrading?
