I have owned regular phones, camera phones, pda phones, pdas, Treos, a blackberry, a sidekick, and a Motorola Q. They all have more features than the iPhone. Unfortunately they make me want to stab my eyes out they are so irritatingly horrible to use. The iPhone makes me happy and more productive because it's just LOGICAL TO USE. That to me is worth the $300 I paid for it. Ok it doesn't have video recording. Well who wants to wait 20 mins to send it across the slow cell networks? Download it to my computer? Our drunk escapades at happy hour are not worth the time and effort. Can't manage playlists? If you have nothing better to do than organize your music collection while you're away from the computer, then you got bigger fish to fry, no offense. I want an EASY TO USE PHONE THAT DOES WHAT A PHONE DOES...CALL PEOPLE! I don't need to: - edit excel spreadsheets and formulas on the train - photoshop my head on brad pitt's body while on the train - write the next episode of harry potter on the train - GPS locate my next stalking victim I do need to: - make phone calls - listen to some tunes when i'm bored - get the jest of my email in case i can't get to a pc - text message my friends - not throw my phone against the wall in frustration Counter-rant...
