Anonymous, 31 Oct 2009But then have you ever thought of part of the iphone's succ... moreI'm actually wondering if you read my post with attention or just went through it quickly:
"But then have you ever thought of part of the iphone's success is its simplicity?"
that's exactly what i said right there:
"iPhone as the advantage to be simple and easy to use."
then you say:
"Even you admitted if the same phone is released by LG or Samsung, it will easily get noticed."
I actually said:
"If the same phone was sold, let's say by LG, you WOULDN'T even hear about it."
You also said:
"If you carry those touchscreens of other companies, do you think non-experts can tell if the user is actually using the latest model?"
That's my point exactly: iPhone is a popular phone.
Its success is explained by the hype made around it and by the fact that most people are looking for a phone really simple to use, not really for specs.
The problem is: most of those people actually believe they have the BEST phone ever made in their hands (thanks to apple campaign).
Which is faaaaaaaaaar away from the truth if you look at the specs.

The iPhone is just a fad, nothing more. Advertisements and hype are the sole reasons why the iPhone's selling like hotcakes.
More capable phones easily beat it in its price point. The reason the higher-end phones don't sell is because they don't market as much as the Apple product. Customers with real intellect will actually research for the best bang-for-buck phone.
Silly media and marketing brainwashing millions of people everyday...

Even you admitted if the same phone is released by LG or Samsung, it will easily get noticed. Why? Companies like Samsung, LG, and the almighty brand keep on producing new models every month, sometimes with minor / no changes to the specs at all. (look at N97 & N97 mini, look at 5800 and 5xx0 touchscreen)
Iphone is simple, if you own one, people notice you've one. If you carry those touchscreens of other companies, do you think non-experts can tell if the user is actually using the latest model? I think you know the answer already.
BTW, most people, especially ladies, want things being simple, and Apple gave them what they want. If complexity and powerful specs are what everybody wants, why the high-end only HTC (no offense) isn't No.1?

Which is pay off people to say good things and in return we pay you lots of money
As bad as this sound for worth of the device i'd rather get the n97 instead of 3g
-Better camera
-more storage
-flash on browser/w kinetic scrolling now
-PC like copy n paste
-full qwerty keypad
-wicked GPS /w a good service and price
-faster CPU 412mhz Vs. 434mhz
-BT file sharing
-task manager& Multitasking
- Live feed widgets with auto update feed on desktop
And it's still less then the iphone 3g
But anyways
Maemo 5/6 and Droid will take most of the mobile smartphone industry soon
Leaving s60 v2.0 to be fixed and WinMo stalling for WinMo7

The iPhone is simply an overhyped, overrated device that's been marketed to sound like it's professional. Its feature set, when compared side-by-side to its competitors, is simply inferior. More apps? Not everything is actually useful.
Do not base the success of a phone, or any device for that matter, by its sales. There are loads more better choices that are simply not marketed as aggressively as the Apple iPhone.
Quality over quantity.

That as nothing to do with the specs of the phone.
It's not a smart-phone... it's a popular-phone.
If the same phone was sold, let's say by LG, you wouldn't even hear about it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a mac user (it's my second mac book pro, had a ipod nano before and i'm actually using a "touch" right now).
I would love to get an iphone just for the "itune" connection for my songs...
but other than that?
nothing.
I rather go through the songs on my phone every once in a while if that means I get a phone that can actually multitask and get personalized according to my needs.
Android and Maemo are way better than iPhone in both those domains (not even talking about camera or speakers here).
iPhone as the advantage to be simple and easy to use.
Which is perfect for most people who don't do so much stuff with a cell phone (I'm not judging, just most people have no needs for a crazy camera, or multitasking or other things).
But people who DO look for a powerful device they can customize and with a lot of good features that can be use at the same time are obviously gonna go for maemo or android.
(and please... people... stop talking about the 90,000 apps that iPhone offers... 89,950 of those are totally useless (not to say stupid))

Your over excited about your n900 that it's rendered you illogical and silly. When did the iphone got left in the dust? It sold 7.4 million units in the last quarter. That's more than the unit sales of the 5800 & the n97 combined, lol. And yes, your n900 will be coming out soon, but guess what's coming out next in several months? The next gen iphone :) And it will be AGAIN the buzz of the town, outshining every other device :)

You can brag all day long about it, but the iphone 3gs has sold 7.4 million units just in the last quarter, and your n900 has none. Your nokia has been trying since their n96 which was an epic flop of a device. Stop embarassing yourself and be quiet :)

If Bell Labs hadn't been under such tight government regulation we'd all be running UNIX today and the Microsoft "revolution" would have never have happened. Does anybody here think that Windows Vista is reliable enough to run telecom network switches like Unix does?
Unix is inherently a much more stable and much more reliable OS than anything Microsoft has ever put out. Once it catches on on mobile devices it will blow Windows mobile (or pocket PC) away. It needs to sell enough devices to attract developers of new services.

N900 and moto Droid,HTC HD2
Power over beauty man that's the way real people look at things
Eg. Iphone
Eligant and nothing good about it except it's look
And the GUI is now over played and boring now
And now WinMo is trying to look like OSx mobile and Droid and Maemo are trying to go Micro PC
And apple left in the dust only with firmware uodates and missing basic features after 3 years XD apple is behind in the game and everyone surpassed it
The iphone FAD is finally over :3
