Replies Inline..Hope it helps you..

• No video calling, TRUE
  
• no AD2P on the Bluetooth, TRUE..but if you need it, you can buy a 3rd party accessory which allows you to use ur iphone for A2DP.
  
• CAN'T share ANY (mp3, images,videos....) files via bluetooth,TRUE

• can't use as a wireless modem, (you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone , but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home) NOT TRUE..You can use a tethering app though it would require you to jailbreak your phone.
  
• no copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.... say.... email & send it....have to type it out yourself) TRUE..But it is expected that apple will implement this feature soon.
  
• NO 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera ,(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i've ever seen..... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera) TRUE AND FALSE both..Its only 2 MP alright, but they are not as bad as this person wants you to think.
  
• no video recording with camera, Can be done using free 3rd party apps.
  
• no front camera, TRUE
  
• no flash. TRUE (but ask yourself why do you need it on a phone except for youtube, which is available on iPhone anyways)
  
• no JAVA support There is a project that gets some basic support for java. Dont know much about it.
  
• No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a dealbreaker...touch keyboard as good as it looks...once you use it then only you come to know about the importance of having a hard keypad) I know people who have typed huge articles on their iphone. Its not as good as a physical keyboard but it is far from a deal-breaker
  
• No 3G network yet in India ..so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services ... so, for India , iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version 3G will be available in 6-8 months from now. The new iPhone also features GPS FYI.
  
• No removable battery. (You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!!!!...This is not an iPod . Its a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days) Not a big deal. You can get it done from a local mobile-repair shop if you are already past your warranty time. And iPhone 3G has a removable battery unlike the old iPhone in which it was soldered.
  
• No haptic feedback and TRUE
  
• cannot Forward MMS, You can, using 3rd party apps
  
• can't use as external storage device (16 GB of utter waste..next time you go to your friend's house & find some interesting songs, movies , etc...sorry you cannot connect your '16 GB' phone and share it!!!! Apple apparently has a solution.. " BUY MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE "..... Give me a break will you APPLE!!!) You can, using 3rd party apps
• no FM radio, TRUE
  
• can't use your mp3 files as ringtones,(This is heights man!!!) INCORRECT
  
• cannot insert any other SIM card YOU CAN, AS LONG AS IT IS OF THE SAME NETWORK
  
• completely tied to iTunes... Connect to your friend's iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone. Again, you can use other better tools to sync your data
  

Its your decision if you want a great phone with some basic features missing (most of which can be addressed by using 3rd party apps) or a so-so phone cramped with unusable or sub-par features
