Also, I don't think the iPhone is a smartphone with so many basic features like multitasking absent. Serena, your only valid point is the web browser, which I think is really good. The multi-tasking, though, is not valid at all. Can you tell me how to multi-task between email and web-browsing without going back to the main menu and then go back in again?

Some are not at all intuitive. Without reading the manual, would you know how to place the cursor on a certain letter while typing? Would you know how to scroll a textfield within a page? (Hint: two fingers) Many people, without being shown, don't even realize the home button is real. Also, the navigation is funky. You drill down, drill back up, and then hit a place where you have to jump from the screen back to the home button again. If it didn't have so few options, it would be just as hard or harder to use than other phones. The iPhone has a lot of hidden menus and secret gestures. Some are not at all intuitive.
