I'm starting to get pissed off by this Apple nonsense: - Is this the first touchscreen phone? No! (too many examples) - Is this the first phone with Safari browsing? NOO!! (all Nokia S60 3rd release phones have this AND visual history AND minimap quick browsing) - Is the iPhone the first one with YouTube 3GP videos? NOOO!!! (Nokia, Motorola and I guess many other phones can have it at m.youtube.com TODAY) - Is the iPhone the only smartphone with WiFi? (No, Nokia N95 and many others have it)
Does the iPhone have GPS? No. 5 MP camera? No. 3G? No. 3rd party apps? No.
Don't get me wrong - I think it is a very cool phone. If I would like touchscreen phones, I'd be getting an iPhone, most likely. But when the marketing machine (and fanboy evangelists) get in my face every day at least they should avoid misinformation.
Ps.: YouTube videos start playing after a second over 3G connection.
Got to agree with you...it's why i have this username. i can't stand the one-sidedness. iw ork with both Macs and PCs and both have + and - to them..iPhone looks cool and all but functionally it seems lacking for a phone of that price range. if this was $200 I'd have one already (and it hasn't even shipped)!
