Of course it'll be restricted in some way. That's what the "iphone sdk" is supposedly for--to make up for some of the shortcomings. Apple releases firmware updates every month / other month in order to SLOWLY unlock features that were supposed to be there from the beginning--helps keep the momento going. Check your freedom at the door when you're using an iphone.

Or jailbreak it and do what you want with it. Seriously, i bought my first iPhone yesterday after 3 years of championing windows mobile and a year of dissing the iphone. I got fed up with windows mobile freezing on me, so i figured i'd try an iphone (knowing how well the hacking is going), and i am seriously impressed. You jailbreak it and install "Installer.app" (the unlocker i used did this for me) and then you just open installer.app on the iphone and all the 3rd party software people have written is there to download, free of charge, right in your hands. It's really amazing. Apple may have made annoying locked-down software, but the hardware is amazing and the community has really made it awesome.

I get the iPhone is nice et al, but why use a device where Jobs makes you jump-rope all the time to his tune, and the next firmware flash could mean you can't jailbreak it anymore?

Why use something where you have to repeat yourself into futility? If doing it one time isn't good enough, it's not good enough.
