This is the irony i love, lots of people where arguing they didn't "need" these features, and they knew they were missing but it didn't matter. Fast forward, and the same people can't wait for copy and paste/bluetooth/mms

The thing is these are features the iPhone should have had when it launched 2 years ago.

That's a very good point Alex

I've managed fine for 5 months without these features and, whilst I'm looking forward to them being implemented, I'm not sure how much I'll use them...

The only one which I have missed and which would have been extremely useful from the start is copy/paste. It's annoying that I can upload photos from my phone directly to my photobucket account but then once they're there I have to go to my PC to do anything with them :/

I've definitely been enjoying following the fanbois and trolls in the overclockers thread about this though. The most amusing comment was when someone told anyone that didn't have an iPhone and a Mac to **** off out of the thread... Genius!

[edit]
You're 100% right Leo, but it didn't have them and now it will, so I'm happy

I still doubt I'll use MMS much as I can only remember one occasion where I wished I could send a picture message. Even when I had my w810i I hardly sent them.
Don't think I've ever needed to use SMS forwarding either.

However, I'd never turn down a free update so I'm happy

Apple got the US market correct but they clearly misunderstood the European market regarding SMS/MMS. I was reading an article about the update and the US writer when talking about MMS simply said "I can just send an email". Which is the whole ignorance around this. Not everyone in everyone's iPhone contact list has an iPhone or hell even an email enabled phone.

I agree with Haly about MMS. I have had the ability to use MMS for 2+ years. I've used it once.

Belmit · 19-03-2009, 13:21

Same. I saw the 3rd party MMS app and installed it immediately. I even have it as one of the main dock apps along with phone, SMS and ipod. Never used it.

No.

I couldn't give a fig if we never got these apps, however the fact we're getting them is cool. But I could easily live without them.

I can't remember the last time I forwarded a text, and MMS I used them once or twice a year at most. And even then I was probably drunk anyway.
