I think you need to define the missing 'basic functions' because I cannot find any.
  • Exchanging contacts via Bluetooth or IR.
Never bloody works. Even Nokia-Nokia. I always end up texting the bd things.
Usually works for me, Treo - noniPhone, Nokias mostly get the piccy too...
There's also the whole arsing about with pairing it, too, which is just a pain in a meeting.
Er, why bother with pairing? Click on "Send as Bluetooth", turn Bluetooth on other phone, click yes when prompted, off you go.

I know it's not exactly an iPhone magic button, but its hardly rocket science either?
Contact->Send as text message->always works->doesn't reveal that you've named your phone "Big Dog's Cock" or something.
Yes. However after 115 contacts that way does get a bit tedious. Send all contacts by bluetooth is all done in about 3 minutes.

What? Even your numbers for takeaways, loansharks and prostitutes?*

No, selective by text is the safe option.

*What? Just me? Oh, ok.

Nah they're all on Speeddials smile

P.S I have heard that next week will bring the official announcement of SE's Rachael phone. Android, 8Mp camera, 32Gb of storage (plus a SD slot) a seriously good looking UI. I think it's definitely going to be one to watch. Rumoured to be out in February too...
