Hey All
Lots of mud slinging between IPhone users and, well, everyone else. Come on - need to give credit where credit is due.
IPhone is pretty good at most of what it does. Their marketting is great. It has led the mobile world in innovation - putting features into a phone that no one else thought to do and made it all very, very easy to use. They redefined the User Interface, gave us Apps/app store, and a range of accessories that still no one else can match.
And there's lots of things it doesn't do well or at all. Some glaring, unbelievable ommissions. Shocking battery life, no bluetooth data and more. Absolutely.
But guess what? - tens of millions of people liked what it can do over what it can't.
BRAVO to Apple I say for putting the industry on its ear! ...and so should we all say...Why?
Because they pushed others to lift their games. Have made them innovate, made them strive to do it better than Apple. And this has given us phones that do things Iphone doesn't do well or at all, while still giving us a lot of what it does do.
Now lets be serious - there's been very little that's come close to matching IP3 until the last 12 months in user friendliness and user interface. My old Omnia drove me insane with unresponsiveness and the degree I needed to use it. WinMo or otherwise most user interfaces have been crap, sluggish, or themselves did only somethings great but not all.
Now we have IP4. Great phone. Again it does what it does pretty well, improved things IP3 did less well, and still very easy to use - arguable the most intuitive user interface around. And yes it still has things it does less well or not at all.
Again guess what? Apple have improved a formula that people already liked, plus adding more value and features. What does this equal? Yep, sales success!
But hold on! Look what we have now...phones like Droid, HTC Desire, Xperia, i8500, i9000...screens like S-LCD and S-AMOLED, longer battery life...Android, BADA and so much more!
Why? How? Lets admit it - its mostly thanks to iPhone and what it did to the market.
I have a Samsung i9000 and I LUV IT! Amazing phone. Had a couple minor issues but all have been easily fixed. But I will say that both Desire & IP4 probably have a slightly smoother UI. And IP4 still has a prettier, snazzier UI than the rest - cool animations, great screen changes, detailed graphics. And apps, apps, apps for everything you could possibly want and not want. People like 'pretty', they like 'snazzy', they like 'cool', they like 'easy' and they like choice.
Ba-bummmm....people will like iP4
I know Froyo will supposedly make my i9000 even better, but lets not to comment till the actual 2.2 release is out & not the beta version
So yes - lets critise the bad in IP4/Apple, as well as all the others so they ALL improve. But lets also acknowledge and praise the good where its deserved.
I for one don't want an iPhone. But I appreciate what its done, and glad of it. Should someone give me one to use I would do so happily. Until then (and even after)...Samsung i9000 still rocks!
But is it better? Horses for courses really. Maybe the future i9000 will "Change everything - Again" :-)

This version doesn't need the bumper case or to be held correctly. In fact the outside antenna is now for show and now disabled.The new hardware revision has the antenna is located on inside, along with the wi-fi antenna. This look identical to the previous model. So making any talk of signal issue still lies.
