      He thinks that his iphone is the best in industry and he puts down all other smartphones on macworld. I don’t like this attitude. We’ll see in July what his iphone truly is!

      Don’t we love being restricted ;)
      I really wonder what that whole “We put MacOS X on this” thing is about then. Oh, I can’t wait until most of the internet (news pages, forums etc.) comes out of the hype-madness and see that the iPhone is a nice, expensive, but not really groundbreaking device (at least not in the technical sense, let’s see if and how it changes the way web-capable phone are perceived)

      it’s funny but nokia already has a open-platform potential competitor to the iphone, the intentionally hardware crippled(no gsm/3g so you will still need to buy a phone for internet connectivity, slow processor and no storage except the memory card, undedeveloped sofware wise(although they want to leverege it’s appeal to open-source developers with the debian based maemo&price discounts etc. it’s still a niche product so it didn’t/won’t receive much attention)and quite expensive N800(400$, aprox. 350 for the N70).
      improve the hardware&software, get the carriers to subsidize it and it could be a huge hit with both customers and software developers.

      ya, he obviously picked those ugliest smartphones to compares…

      anyway, like they say, pride comes before a fall!

      i really feel sorry for those iphone team’s family members…

      i think the iphone’s display will scratch like no one’s business, i also don’t like that you cant operate a phone with one hand, and the bright colorful buttons are so ugly compares to the more classy one found in LG KE850, i don’t understand why steve jobs was so excited and amazed over the Google Map part, I’ve been using that on my Nseries since donkey months ago and i have to wait till 2008!
