1: The “intelligent” and supremely annoying Apple interface, which wants to do things for you whether you like it, or nor.

2: The lousy battery life, averaging only about two hours when surfing on the crappy AT&T network.

3: The imprecise, touch screen-only interface, growl!

4: The phone functionality itself is incredibly clumsy and inconvenient.

5: Back to the interface. The Apple interfaces, including all of their computers and iPods seem to have been designed by smart people – for morons. They remind me of cars with automatic transmissions – which I despise, preferring to have positive, clear, instant choices, rather than clumsy, usually inaccurate and mushy ones.

Some of the apps are cool, such as Google Maps and Google Earth. That doesn’t redeem the bad features of the iPhone, particularly that the many of the aps are also available for other smart phones, running on better networks.

In short: The iPhone is going back to the Apple store, my old phone is getting re-activated and as soon as my AT&T contract expires, I am moving to Verizon.
