Top 5 Worst things about the iPhone

by Tom Merritt
Hundreds of thousands of you have watched our top 5 on the worst things about the iPhone and strangely, few have commented to me about it. So I thought we'd give you a chance to talk back here on the old CNET TV blog.

Take this opportunity to add your own worst things about the iPhone, or tell us why we're all messed up in the head and paid for by Microsoft for ever saying something nasty about an Apple product. It's your choice.

If you haven't seen the Top 5 in question yet, go take a gander at it on CNET TV and then stop back afterwards.

And in order to maintain balance, we'll feature the Top 5 things to LOVE about the iPhone on Monday.

The thing most everyone seems to have missed is that the $499/$599 price points for the iPhone [b][i][u]ARE[/u][/i][/b] the discounted prices. Sans Cingular contract, the iPhone would cost a LOT more. Not that you could say, take it over to T-Mobile and get full functionality out of it. While T-Mo and AT&T physically share their networks of cell towers, there are servers for services on the AT&T side that T-Mo doesn't have - and won't for at least 5 years.

LG CU 400 comparison

I can't believe you made reference to the CU 400 on the Tivo version of this list. My company recently had the bright idea to switch to AT&T and got us all this phone. It's horrible. I had phones 5-7 years ago that were better. Bad reception, embarassing ringtones, limited options for regular functionality, short battery life. After a month with this phone, I'd almost be willing to pay $400 for a phone just to get one that actually did something!
