Here are a dozen reason why you should think before getting the iPhone. And I am not counting that you can't change the battery yourself. Only Apple can.

5. You can only run one third-party application at a time.
6. Apple might not allow app vendors to open up their apps.

9. No MMS.
10. No video recording.
11. No voice command.
12. Hardware locked to carriers.
