Agreed...what else can Apple really do with the iPhone right now? Integrated FM Tuner? Meh. Better camera? Meh.
Just waiting on those Vodafone tariffs/pricing now so I can upgrade my personal phone.

An OLED screen with a higher res?Originally Posted by g force
Loads. Proper keyboard. Decent camera. Flash. Video cam for calls. Higher res screen and/or OLED and a much, much better battery life.
Can someone answer a quick question please? I know someone (ok me) who would love an iphone but really can't justify the price ( vastly inflated in Ireland of course), because really I just want to play with the apps. So what do those iTouch thingys do, and should I get one? Or do the apps only work on the iPhone?
Regardless of our personal preference, I don't think Apple will see adding a "proper" keyboard as an upgrade.
The apps work on the touch as well.
An iPhone with a hardware keyboard...not sure that'd work. It's fine as it is, it's a big screen/great interface phone, that's one of it's big selling points.
Get. Over. It.
It's never going to happen.
They aren't going to change the screen resolution because that may well invalidate 100,000 applications that rely on the current screen size. I suppose they could double it in both directions so that old stuff still worked exactly as before but new apps had access to the extra space. Not sure 640x960 3" screens exist?
An OLED display would be good as its much lower power and a better camera. Much better camera would be nice, but the flash kills the battery.
Video calling is dead, nobody wants it.
Battery life unfortunately hasn't developed like the rest of the tech that it powers. Perhaps a LiPoly battery that is specially shaped for the phone like the ones in the MacBook Air. Doesn't need the metal case so lighter and higher power, but wouldn't be removable.
Expect an even faster CPU than before with even better 3D graphics.
are vodafone likely to announce before christmas?
That is except the ones that require the phone gubbins or GPS.
The iphone isn't the only phone on which you can "play with apps", you know.
But without a massively improved battery life, all those fancy 3D graphics won't be onscreen for long.
But it is the only one to do it well. Nokia's Ovi store is a joke, Palm's is okay but still very young.
ovi store isn't the only place you can get symbian apps. Pretty much any iphone app that is actually useful is available on other platforms. If you want games though, then the iphone seems to be the best bet, still.
If you want any apps the iPhone is the best bet. Come on teuchter - even with your anti-iPhone stance you can't really argue with the range and accessibility of its apps
The iPhone is definitely the best for games, but most platforms offer enough good quality apps for just about everyone's needs.
Range: what matters is the top 5% of the offerings, not how many thousands there are in total.If you want any apps the iPhone is the best bet. Come on teuchter - even with your anti-iPhone stance you can't really argue with the range and accessibility of its apps
Accessibility: yes, the iphone system is good for people that don't want to, for example, use google to find an app. The downside of course is that apple have total control over the selection available.
Tell me which iPhone apps you use regularly.

To be fair, when I was using a Symbian phone I definitely had web-syncing outliner/mindmapping apps and notebooks, multi-app abbreviation expanders, password safes which synced with my desktop browsers, local search augmented reality apps using camera / GPS / compass, physics simulators, layered paint programs, a personal database syncing with the desktop, a National Gallery catalogue, barcode scanners, ambient music generators, a 303/808/909 emulator...
...oh yes, that was Symbian Dream Edition, sorry.
I can't tell you how much I need to have one of those on my phone.
.
And I can't tell you how little I care about flash.
*shrug*
Still, at least teuchter really CARES about this.
You mean a camera flash?
They're actually well useful. That's why just about every camera comes with one.
Do you mind if I nick that lot for a wirefresh article?
