Nokia Gets No Respect Against Apple, RIM

The iPhone isnt a phone - its a small computer running OSX.
Just HOW is anyone going to match it?
Its also an iPod - in 6 years, no-one has even matched the iPod - its still at 70%.

Once again - just HOW does anyone beat Apple when they have ALL the pieces, and no-one else can use them?

Is User Apathy About Smartphones Becoming Apparent?

Good talking points in this article.
I agree that most dont give a damn about downloading apps - but then apps on the Nokia N95, for example, are like going to the dentist.
Smartphones will drop in price, and eventually, most phones will be loaded with features.
So most phones will be smartphones, and most people will have them, by default.
Thats my 0.10c.

Wanted, Dead or Alive: The iPhone Killer

Yes, all they ever did was add a camera and a keyboard.
The iPhone is NOT a phone, its a mini-computer with the best OS there is.
Its never going to be a cheap mass-market device, but it will be almost impossible for any phone co. to make something as good.

I will never use another kind of phone - the iPhone is the ONE!

Imagine If You Didn't Hate Your Mobile Carrier

The iPhone is so good it makes AT&T look much better than they are.

The numbers of customer satisfaction are, of course, representative.
Its silly to say they are not.
The iPhone is an EXCEPTIONAL combination of software and hardware - something only Apple can do because they build BOTH parts.

Negative comments about the iPhone are usually from people who either havent tried it, are just miserable generally, or are paid commenters. (Astroturfing)
