Well, I was never really that excited about the iPhone, seeing as how I'm very much a "free phone" guy, but these reviews aren't doing anything to change my mind.
Some of the oversights seem just obvious, too. Lack of global search? What happened to spotlight? The iPhone is perfect for Spotlight because it's accessible no matter what you're doing and it lets you jump around from one thing to another. And no copy/paste is rather stupid too.
Lack of games + lack of third-party apps would bother me too. I still think it's a bad idea for Apple to lock out third party developers. Outside developers always think of much more clever software. This is especially true of Apple - they have some nice software, but sometimes it seems to me like Apple's software is designed for one particular "ideal" user who does a few prescribed things and nothing else.
