Hi, There's noway Apple are going to slap an on-board keyboard on an iPhone. The R&D to make the glass touch-screen was intense at Apple. Everyone kept bringing Steve Jobs plastic prototypes, and he kept sending them off to sort a real glass touch-screen. Touch-screens are in, for bad or good. Plus Light Dependents prefer as much screen visibility without increasing overall handset size. FM will eventually be going out. With half decent 3G & WIFI you can pick up over 40000radio stations worldwide in one app alone, out of the countless radio apps for IOS. Regards, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Saqib Hussain Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 2:45 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Iphone IOS5 disappointment Gosh this phone is the most expensive and sort after on the market and it doesn't have a FM Radio? You'de think Apple would of covered the basics by now. I'm disappointed that it doesn't even have a querty keyboard built in to the hardware as this is a deal breaker for me. I was hoping to see a keyboard this time around. On 14/10/2011, Barry Hill <barry.hill3@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for that, Elliot.
