For getting the internet on the phone it beats all in the market with its interface. Resizing the content means you actually read what is there. Not some cut down, crap the others show. Give it time and it will dominate the market for mobile browsing. (touch sceeen not so good for 'phone calls though :(, which is a pity because its got 'phone in its title)

@dalejo: It's not just the kool-aid drinkers who like it. I, personally, never wanted a gadget less until someone handed it to me and showed me the photo resizing. And I don't actually give a rat's ass about photo resizing, either. It is just intrinsically cool. It has an elegance that goes far beyond mere functionality. If I had the bux, I'd have the iPhone.

But I'd make it say "sent from my Altair."

@CaliforniaCajun: Since when is the iPhone browser full-fledged? It must be handling flash now.

It's so sad to see apple fan bois falling all over themselves trying to defend something they bought so they can feel cool. Nobody cares! You're in an elite crowd with a guy named Robert Scoble.

@grishick: I use a blackberry all day and it is the most dysfunctional hunk of turd ever. My working theory is that you've never actually used an iphone. Well, that, or you have brain damage.

@grishick: Brilliant commentary there.

Have you ever used an iPhone? Some of us consider a phone with a full-fledged browser "functional".

Duh... busy people need phones that are functional, not just pretty. Seriously, iPhone is a useless toy compared to Blackberry or windows mobile. Yes, they are mostly ugly, but they do more. Not to mention that it hardly fits 25% of my music library.
