I am very upset with both Iphone 3G and 2.0 software

Question

OK These are my gripes
First the actual store experience, it was a zoo. I waited in line for 2 hours and I did not even get an apology from the people at the store. They just told me it was AT&T's fault and to complain to them. It took them 25 minutes just to activate my phone. They also said there was 30 dollar connection charge at the store and than there was another connection charge that will appear on the bill. I was outraged, turned out the kid was new and didn't know what he was doing. Than when I left, they basically threw the phone at me. Real nice service.
1) No Copy/Paste. What is so hard about this? I see all these fancy stuff and they cannot implement this into it? I am getting tired of having to mesmerize lines of text.
2) No flash. I understand that this really isn't that big of a deal but other phones have it. I really think Apple/Adobe need to come to an agreement cause it is annoying surfing the web and not being able to view any videos or animations.
3) App Prices. I was browsing the App store and some of those prices are downright ridiculous. 10 bucks for pac man!?!? Some of the apps run up into the 40's and 50's. Steve said there will be a lot of free apps but most of them are lame besides the remote and a couple others (Myspace/AIM)
4) Speed. OK On my way home from getting my iphone I was in a strong 3g coverage area and I counted and it took 45 seconds to load one page. Even at my home, it is taking 30-40 seconds to load one page. Yes, I am in 3G coverage area at my house also. I just ended up switching to Wi-Fi it was so slow.
5) Bugs. When I am in both Youtube and Safari it crashes more than my old iphone. I clicked a youtube video and it kept crashing back to the desk 10 seconds into the video.
There are other things to. I am not saying the Iphone is a piece of garbage because it is not, I just think Apple needs to listen to the customers needs more.

I definitely agree with the OP. Today I waited in line for a iphone3G upgrade for 2 hours. After finally getting into the store it took them another 45 minutes to actually sell me the phone. Some how they still had my moto SLVR still on my account even though I had been using the original iphone since it launched last year. They finally work out that bug and then they tell me they cannot activate it. No big deal, im not new to activating iphones on my own anyways. Actually it probably would have saved some time in the line for everyone else. I get home and I cannot even download the new itunes update! I get back to work at 11:15 after arriving at the att store at 7:25am. Glad my boss wasnt mad because itold him I should be back in about an hour, wrong! I get home from work at 2:30pm and I finally am able to download itunes 7.7 but then the update 2.0 software keeps timing out. ***? I was ready to take it back at that moment but anticipation of a great upgrade won me over. I go back to work and get off and I finally get 2.0 and the restore accomplished. I finally have a working 3G, so I thought. Come to find out, 3G is not in my area and wont be until fall next year and I cannot download any new applications. from the Itunes store. So Basically I paid 217.00 and the extra 3G fee for GPS that doesnt talk or beep when your supposed to turn. Most people will probaly crash because there eyes are watching this thing on top of that, the **** thing doesnt even scroll when the dot leaves the screen. All N all was it worth it when you already have an iphone and the Nokia N96 will be out this fall? Hmmm. atleast the restocking fee is only 20.00.
