        me, 26 Jan 2010well done apple! apple deserves all those profits. enjoy... more" i dont care if i get ripped off ". How funny!!!

        And yes, indeed there is no perfect phone but atleast it could be a target for phone designers to design a perfect phone.
        iPhone is not designed keeping perfection or near perfection in mind. They just designed an attractive TOY to please kids like you.

            well done apple!

            apple deserves all those profits. enjoy further success. let the "haters" hate.

            i didnt buy iphone because of hype or advertising. i can afford it so, why not.

            id say iphone isnt perfect at all, not even near perfect. it has flaws like other said, but ask this yourself - is there a perfect phone?

            iphone is iphone - take it or leave it. i dont care if i get ripped off or what, its my choice and thats your opinion. As far as I know, this phone suits my needs at the moment.

The "regime" in china doesn't allow wifi enabled phones to be imported, nor can you order one "on the interntet" without you doing time if they catch you at the customs.

                          Also the economical statute of the individual doesn't allow just anyone to spend 1000$ unnoticed. 190.000 pcs are gathering dust on the shelves.

No more need to convince how much a touch toy iPhone is. And you're right iPhone doesn't need a 5mp camera with flash, or bluetooth, or multitasking, or flash, what it needs is fools like you to buy and let Apple make exhorbitant profits.
                                    Do you even have any idea how much you pay for a toy. Probably there'll be a day when you'll think about it.

                                      There really are some blind fools on this forum. The Iphone doesn't need a 5mp camera with flash, or bluetooth, or multitasking, or flash (have fun waiting for that lot to download) they have all they need at the moment. A successful marketing strategy and a successful APP STORE. Seriously, have any of you actually used one?

                                      And before you start painting me as an Apple fan, I'm not. I simply know a good device when I see one. The Itunes software is awful, and only useful for backups and the battery life should be better.

                                      Apart from that, I'll continue to enjoy the best touchscreen device money can buy :)

                                        Chinese companies love to make clones, so a Chinese person can purchase a clone with dual SIM only for 100 dollars, they don't have to spend 600 dollars on a real one (iPhone) for them the clone and the iPhone is the same thing.
                                        In the US and Europe, people buy the original iPhone because they are used to Apple and its product line for years.
                                        Fake phones suck. ^^
