No personal computer normally
needs to be taken apart to serve its intended purpose. Some folks just
like to, to take the device beyond it's designed limits. "I've got my core duo box overclocked to run at 5ghz! Why? Because I
can!"

Oh and someone asked earlier why was I 'coming down' on harry? it wasnt intended that way it was just genuinely a question as to why the missing features about the iphone(none of which affect its ability to use for reading books) where worthy of posting? when many other phones also have missing features but dont get a similiar post from Harry. just really wondered why the iphone gets picked out?

Why not? The iPhone is a hot device, and the new model release is a very high profile launch that precipitated a feeding frenzy among folks interested in it.
And it's specifically intended to be more attractive than the original to the corporate market. Harry listed a set of features that
aren't present, which he feels are requirements for a device used in a corporate setting. I think his attitude is roughly, "If Apple is really aiming this at the corporate market, they missed. Here's why."
His list of missing features is

* No MMS messaging.
* No video recording.
* No forward-facing camera for video conferencing.
* No stereo bluetooth connection.

I personally can't imagine trying to participate in a video conference on a smartphone, and aren't especially interested in a phone with a camera of any sort built in.
But lack of MMS messaging and Bluetooth are curious.
