Still no flash which results in lousy shots in dim light.

            Then it moved "worldwide", and since most places around the world already support 3G, Apple decided to put 3G on iphone.

            And if u think Apple is bad by "following" the specs of the almighty brand / HTC, may I suppose you also admit the fact the almighty brand also copied Apple's idea on touchscreen?

                                The first BAR phone was made by Motorola, yet it also got into "flip" design with StarTAC, and "turn" design like V70 (the latter proved to be a failure)

                                But the fact is, as much as the almighty brand claimes it "offers a phone for everyone", it REFUSED to offer any touchscreen (3G) phone before iphone, then released at least half a dozen models in 2009.

                                    What bothers me is the fact the almighty brand often claims it offers "a phone for everyone" but it REFUSED to offer any touchscreen (3G) phone before iphone, and AFTER iphone it decided to release half a dozen touchscreen phones in 2009.
