Top 10 Touchscreen Devices: iPhone Drives 159% Growth

I realised yesterday how far the iPhone has taken us into new territory. My partner is a dinosaur and has a Motorola for which we got a 3G SIM card to replace the old SIM. I activated it with the Telco and they didn't remind me to transfer data first and had of course forgotten to transfer his minimalist addressbook to the phone. Also as a dinosaur he would not want the huge directory of addresses from my Mac Address Book. So step two try and get the data from his old SIM card into his phone.... Scrolling through screen upon screen I couldn't find where to transfer his old SIM info.. Also when I did try to put the old card back it wouldn't accept the SIM password. So I went through the laborious process of re-entering the individual phone nos of the people I knew he would want. What a process and how I realised how much I hate the numeric keypad entry method.. This is NOT simple.. Added to my disdain was how FILTHY the inside of the phone was when I had to remove the battery to get to the SIM card. YUK.. I know someone who might find a brand new iPhone in his Christmas stocking.. The experience with an iPhone is JUST so different and lets face it most of the other smart phones are just tinsle on an artificial Christmas Tree but the iPhone is a live and growing Apple Tree..
