Yeees... Well, it does them rather badly, as evidenced by numerous "Top 10 worse things about iPhone" articles cropping up lately.

Button placement is completely illogical in places, Back buttons and Edit buttons appear in the same place, there is no way to send an image from the mail.app itself (you have to go to Photos to do that), there is no way to export or import notes (except sending them to yourself via e-mail), there are no copy/paste functions, nor a clipboard of any kind (and since there are no 3rd party apps, you can't add them either), it doesn't save a message to drafts if you exit midmessage, you can't switch the predictive text / autocorrect off, the predictive text / autocorrect doesn't work in Safari, there is no flash support, home screen doesn't rotate to landscape, the large, landscape keyboard works ONLY in Safari, you can't send ANYTHING via Bluetooth, nor recieve ANYTHING, it doesn't work with iSync, it doesn't work as a wireless modem, you can only send ONE PHOTO per email, you can't customize alert tones in any way... Shall i go on?

So, in essence, a lot of chrome, low on functionality and low on ergonomics. A complete & utter flop.

Edit: And no, it does not come with a wall charger. And sorry, but the Yeti-like sightings of 200kbps sound utterly laughable to me, while i surf around with my i600 at HSDPA speeds (1.8Mbps theoretical, around 1Mbps real).
