The best UI hands down.... in a phone with 3 year old specs... tsk tsk. Talk about hubris. Apple is seeing if people will buy into an old phone model on the strength of their UI, OS alone.

              It is hilarious to see the amount of people that do carry on about features that NOT every one uses. Would you people like to wear the same clothes as everyone, like the same colour, have the same friends, like the same movies etc as everyone else in the whole world?? If not then why is it you have so many issues accepting that people like things for different reasons. Not everyone will agree with you and you wont agree with everyone - does that mean its your god given right to put people down and carry on like a child?? Accept there is a choice for a reason. I do not have an iphone and wont buy one simply because it DOESNT SUIT me. But I am mature enough to realise it DOES suit others and theres nothing wrong with that. Id hate to see some of you if you had a real crisis if you cant even handle a phone you dont like on the market - I mean PLEASE. Grow up.

                @ Kim
                "On-Screen-Typing is faster than any physical keyboard once you figure out the keyboard set and spelling corrections formatting."

                Just no.

                "the MAIN PEOPLE WHO CRITICIZE ANYTHING IS THAT THEY DON'T OWN IT, LOOK AT THE SPECS, AND JUDGE IT RIGHT THERE AND THEN."

                That's exactly what they're criticising. The fact that it's got relatively mediocre specs and it's getting such a large amount of hype annoys the people that know better - such as myself.

                "Though the phone has competition, noone really cares what other phones there are out there. PEOPLE WILL BUY THE PHONE THAT ARE MOST EASILY ATTAINABLE."

                Because the 3 week or so waiting list i've been hearing about is a myth...? The fact that customers need to initiate a billed service that they don't have an iphone to use with at the time of initiation? It's not easily attainable.


                "Exclusion of the MMS and copy-and-paste functions are no biggie"

                No, they are a biggie.

                "No other Phone beats the iPhone in terms of screen size- Size DOES matter"

                Because resolution means nothing? Size means nothing if the resolution is too low. There are other handsets with higher resolutions, and therefore, clearer displays.

                "and this phone brings it with the best in terms of media - music and video at its finest."

                No, it doesn't. It's really, really good with music, but the rest of the media situation is a write-off. You can't capture video and you can't capture proper images. Compare it to an entry-level sony-ericsson handset with a 2 megapixel camera, and the sony-ercisson will absolutely own the iphone in that department.

                @everyone
                Please, people, open your eyes and look at some spec sheets before either praising this phone, or bashing the competition. Everything has been done before, and in most cases, better. There's no competition when it comes to the interface - I will not deny that, nor deny that I am a big fan of it, but that is the main differentiating factor.

                        Its a good feel to this phone. The feel to this phone, including the OS and the interactive multi-touch screen is better than anything on the market right now.

                        On-Screen-Typing is faster than any physical keyboard once you figure out the keyboard set and spelling corrections formatting.

                        So, get your hands on an iPhone, Call Quality is great and the feel of the phone is amazing. the MAIN PEOPLE WHO CRITICIZE ANYTHING IS THAT THEY DON'T OWN IT, LOOK AT THE SPECS, AND JUDGE IT RIGHT THERE AND THEN. Though the phone has competition, noone really cares what other phones there are out there. PEOPLE WILL BUY THE PHONE THAT ARE MOST EASILY ATTAINABLE.

                        iPhone camera works great in nice bright areas- better quality than some cameras at 2.0. though it would suck at night, unfortunately.

                        Exclusion of the MMS and copy-and-paste functions are no biggie and future apps/ updates may fix this and if you actually USED the iPhone, copy and paste may actually have to be a menu option instead of the on-the-spot C&P-ing.

                        No other Phone beats the iPhone in terms of screen size- Size DOES matter and this phone brings it with the best in terms of media - music and video at its finest.

                        BATTERY LIFE--> 5 hours on 3G! - they're not lying, you actually CAN TALK A LOT on this phone if you don't do anything out of the ordinary with maps and other apps (like any other phone). Battery Life is underrated! Though i have the mini charger it comes with- Very Handy and convenient!

It fits nicely in the centre console of my Aston Martin DB9 and my wife loves it because it goes in the console of her Range Rover Sport she just got for her trips to Beverly Hills.

Well this mobile has the options of a 19 Euro expensive mobile, the rest of the money goes to style, status and all kind of things like that. So it is and so it will stay minimum till iPhone version3 will come

                                      I wonder why people always criticize irrelevant features of a mobile device such as the iPhone. This ain't no DSLR, it's a phone, that needs imaging capabilities, to help you remember parking locations, your child's outfit when shopping at a busy mall, or just to store a funny memory. The phone has amazing features that beats the competition easily.
