Ok, I just said I realized I’m part of the Apple cult, but this time I’ve gotta criticize. Kinda part of the healing process.

The iPhone I’ve been dreaming about continues to receive a thumbs down from different consumer sectors. FORTUNE has released their own Top 10 reasons IT won’t support the iPhone.

Here are their reasons:

1. Doesn’t natively support push business email or over-the-air calendar sync.
2. Doesn’t accommodate third-party applications, including those internally developed.
3. Doesn’t support securing data on the device through encryption.
4. Can’t be remotely locked or wiped in the event of a lost or stolen device.
5. Lacks a hard keypad that provides feedback, which isn’t ideal for rapid and accurate input.
6. Has limited service provider support and its carrier lock-in inhibits flexibility.
7. Comes with a premium price tag.
8. Is only the first generation.
9. Lacks a removable battery, so when the battery kicks it, so does the device.
10. Lacks case studies of firms that have deployed it enterprisewide
