[i]Phone or not?

I'm going to skip the already discussed iPhone pros and cons like lack of 3G, GPS etc. I'm looking at it the way it is and what it is:

Pros:

• Beautiful screen
• Beautiful clean design - typical Apple
  
• Crisp clean font
• Multi-touch zooming and simple flicking of objects (pics, album art, text etc.)
  
• Web Browser (first usable web browser on a phone in my opinion)
• Love the proximity sensor that turns off the screen while talking (Cannot count the number of times my 'ear' would dial a number or click an application while I'm talking!)

Cons:

• Packaging is great, but Apple could atleast include a basic sleeve or a transparent film for the screen or something. As it stands now, one pretty much has to buy an iPhone cover right away or risk scratching it. Something like the 5G iPod sleeve would be nice.
• When dialing the number it would be nice to have the SmartDial features like in Windows Mobile (and other phones probably). Scrolling contacts is not always the easiest to find a contact. One always knows the name or number you want to call. SmartDial not only helps quick searching the contacts, but also inherently validates a number from the contacts list if you are typing by the number and not name. It also helps, if you partially remember a number you had dialed earlier and this smart lookup helps to narrow down the number you vaguely remember.
  
• When typing in the search box (google/youtube) the automatic dictionary match shows below the text box and as soon as you hit 'Search' it picks the dictionary word instead of the one I typed! (usually one has to press a key like 'space bar' or something to pick the suggested work. The only way around this is, to type in the word, then tap/click on the text box again to dismiss the dictionary lookup and then hit 'Go'. Lame. [This one is very irritating and some other friends also mentioned this]
• Copy-Paste: I actually came across the need quite a few times for example trying to send a phone number of one of my contacts via text message to a friend.
  
• No disk mount. While there are solutions around this -- is this too much to ask for when someone wants to use those GBs on the phone to transfer/carry personal stuff.
  
• Simple thing like wanting to drop a certain image from my mac to the iPhone (to set it as wallpaper) is sooo hard. Only way (in the auto sync mode) to get the picture on iPhone is is to sync an album containing that pic. Ridiculous!
  
• Bluetooth/WiFi file transfers not allowed: Fine go ahead and block music file transfer an stuff. Atleast allow receiving other types of files (pics?).
  
• As beautiful the UI is, its pretty ugly in its proprietary and complex underlying storage. It very difficult to understand the file structure and mappings. (Granted this is a beef for only geeks). Maybe it does it for optimizations, speed, security whatever..., but basically its not easy to get in->copy stuff into->view it (Oh wait, am I expecting a PC?). In this respect, I agree with Linus.
• Battery life is OK ... but this applies to all my wireless devices. (Please someone, do something great here or make every furniture and fixture have mandatory a USB port :) )
  

Overall, its a solid device and most of the quibbles can be fixed easily. And best part is that Apple has entered a very fast moving and fierce market, it is going to have to respond quickly to get to the top. And seems they are listening these days ...
