    FYI to those that lack of knowledge in IT world. Mobile phone was popularize by Motorola and Others including Iphone Steal it's technology. Video Call being popularize by Nokia and Others including Iphone Steal it's technology (btw Tango and Viber app are much better than any Video Call technology by any Out of the box feature cause it's cross platform) Wi-fi Tethering popularize by Nokia and Others including Iphone Steal it's technology. Blackberry Mesenger popularize by RIM and there are so many App that can Chat cross platform. Bluetooth invented by Ericsson (Now Sony Ericsson) and Others including Iphone Steal it's technology (The drawback of Iphone is They don't know how to do file sharing using bluetooth). Touch screen phone popularize by HP iPAQ and others including Iphone steal it's technology. IBM PC (Personal Computer) steal it's technology from Macintosh (Apple) and then become the biggest Company, but later being slay back again by Apple. Portable Audio player popularize by Sony but being slay by ipod Apple. DynaBook popularize the tablet computer but iPad make it available for all.
    The company that are the best one for this moment will never stay on top forever, one day they will die and being replace for good or maybe after being defeat they will come back again for revenge.
    So, the point is; It's not important who made it first, the most important is how they make the available technology more advance than the original one so that we can enjoy it. Most of you that make comment in GSMArena are the user, you are not the inventor or CEO of this mobile company, so don't fight on behalf of your mobile (it sure sound a little bit ridiculous) your mobile is a dead thing it's not your family or spouse (maybe some of you are thinking like that, but definitely not me). Just enjoy your technology, let the mobile company enjoy fighting each other, the one that last is the one that have prove their mobile worth buy.
    Before, I use Symbian, At this moment I'm using Android and I'm very interested in Iphone (Not Iphone 4 I'm waiting for Iphone 5) so that's the way we use technology, get the best one for you, change it when you think it's make you boring. Don't get stuck with just one just because you like it's name (I'm sure you all know technology are better than name, isn't it?) be SMART.....

            Hate the fact that you have to buy the usefull apps, things like office Apps and the movie app should be free.

              Installed iOS 4.3 on iPhone 3GS but there is not even single new feature available to 3GS owners. The personal hot spot is just a menu in 3GS which takes you to tethering menu which has only bluetooth and USB options but WiFi. The so called new Nitro JavaScript Engine is said to be faster but is not noticeable.

              I have started seeing sluggishness in the setting menu traversals and also the app open and close animations are sluggish. There is some crap code that is loading 3GS processor. 4.3 is not optimized for 3GS.

              I advise not to install 4.3 on 3GS (stay with 4.2.1 unless there is any but that you have found you can't bear with). Its fine for iPhone 4 which has better processor. I think Apple has strategically phasing out 3GS by loading heavier OS code and forcing users to upgrade to newer models. They have to create market for new models.

                ALonZo, 10 Mar 2011Just so funny to watch iPhone haters slate the best device ... moreiPod = iPhone basically. Only real diff is call/sms function.

                iPod+Android/Symbian phone = Way cheaper and way more features than an iPhone. LOL.

                  Anonymous, 10 Mar 2011seriously.. wtf? iOS nail'd away your symbian OS, while sto... moreiOS just looks better than Symbian and supplied with better hardware. In terms of functionality, like real multitasking and some other stuff, Symbian had all of it years before apple did. Which is why Android is better than both. It has all of Symbian's functionality while being as good looking and easy to use as iOS. Its just a matter of marketing in Android vs iOS. Apple has become a fashion/status icon where a lot of people want it for no real reason. They dont even take the time to see the field and check which is the best buy in terms of capability+hardware. They just see the name.
