The problem with the iPhone I have is that it is made with poor parts. The opinion that it has a very weak speaker for listening to calls as well as speaker phone is widespread. The 2G did not address this either.

Amongst phones of its calibur, the iphone has one of the worst cameras, offering no flash, no zoom, low mpixels, and poor grainy quality overall.

As an iPod, the iphone probably fails here the most. Not being able to drag and drop music to it on a computer can make loading it up a long chore, and thenit turns out to be incompatible with the majority of the dock players out there.

The wireless has magical issue connecting to every network I come across, even my own home network.

The reception likes to magically drop from 5 bars to nothing, when standing still in the same spot. Even with 2+ bars, my phone fails to make calls.

I have shown all of these issues to AT&T as well as the Apple store, and they both decided that it worked well enough within their guidelines to not warrant attention, leading me to believe the iPhone really does suck this much.

Having said all that, I don't know any iPhone owners personally, or in passing, that actually like it. Cool features? Yes. Ability to use them? Less than stellar. I am REALLY hoping the June iphone announcement addresses some of these issues.

P.S. The battery is good at least.

Go G! And use amazon mp3. Amazon mp3 may not be the craze in cell phone downloading but it does the job and the G1 is way more fluid when it comes to those kinds of apps that you would use in your car. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

This is an old thread but I have a 3GS and it works perfectly with the Z. The ambient noise in the Z makes some calls difficult, but if you aren't on the phone constantly it shouldn't be a problem.

If you don't have Nav, I recently got the TomTom iPhone app and carkit and it is really cool. I attach it to my windshield in the lower left corner of the windshield. The kit has bluetooth for calls, and audio out port for the aux-in jack, charges phone, is a great holder, and, of course does nav.

Do you think you can take a cabin shot of your setup? I'm interested to see what it looks in a Z.

I'm still stuck on trying to get videos to play off of my iPhone 3Gs... anyone?

I'm looking to buy a new 2010 370z and was able to test drive one this weekend with the nav system. I was VERY pleased with how easy it worked with my iPhone 3G! I was a bit shocked the nav system didn't see or couldn't play my videos on my iPhone though.

Any idea about how to get videos to play off an iPhone (while parked of course)?

Buy the componet cable for the iphone, plugs in to the Z under the USB port.
works fine on mine
