Not even close to true. It was missing copy+paste, messaging, video recording and the ability to load 3rd party apps - all of which were available on other smartphones at the time it launched. It was massively behind on functionality and massively ahead on interface.The ORIGINAL iPhone has the stuff needed at that time and more compared to competitors at that period. I have to admit 3G is the only missing, but then at that time 3G coverage is spotty during the time of release of the ORIGINAL iPhone.
