The iPhone is just so much smoother and pleasant to use that people are willing to sacrifice what otherwise would seem like deal-breaking neglected features. I think a big deciding factor is also the app store. When your colleagues come in everyday and show off their latest app, game, or toy they're going eventually convince you to join the club too. What Samsung phones do you think they're talking about here? I found their inclusion surprising. Couldn’t agree more Simon, but it all comes down to user interface.

Do business users no longer need immediate notifications for incoming email? I think companies that are issuing iPhones to their employees are harming themselves - their employees simply won't be as productive. And what about the lack of push email on the iPhone?

Other vital criteria like security, and, y'know, copy and paste play a big role in determining if a company actually goes through with a rollout. I also find it interesting that Bluetooth capabilities are on the list of priorities, but the iPhone doesn't support A2DP. Maybe it's just me, but I thought Apple was big on the music thing.
