The iPhone may not be perfect. But apple currently has a 10% share in the mobile Market.
This is with two handsets after a very short space of time. The update makes a few of the normal things more accessable, great for those of is who own one. Don't bash the software update, just because there was hype surrounding it. The g1 owners are waiting for the cupcake update. We are waiting for this one. I use an iPhone as a second phone to my innov8 - the camera making that a necessity. But the app store and the innovations and constantly new apps make it a joy

Typed in portrait on my iphone, but not for long.

    maybe if they didn't steal LG's Prada spotlight
    you would be using the prada right now
    apple is a company that's runned by theifs left right and center
    apple's products look all the same so how are they innovative
    nothing really next except for making
    touchscren more mainstream to the market
    that's all and bringing more developers to the table
    nothing new

      iPhone is a toy for people who desperately want to be cool. And i dont blame you, just dont go around talking that its the best phone ever or stuff like that. I've tried the iPhone and it's good, but not worth the hype. Apple admits it's mistake(s) here, obviously...

              Anonymous, 18 Mar 2009lol~~~dramas~~this is pricelessYea alot lolXD but iphone users really have to stop with personal attack that's very low

              but i guess that's how they think most of the time since they have to pay for everything lol

              i would be pissed off too
              nothing is really free for the iphone
              cause your still paying hidden fees lol which they don't realize
              oh well
              100 bucks a year is not bad at all for
              turn by turn navi and voice on nokia maps PROVIDED so no need for Garmin or tomtom
              by nokia lol
              cause Xbox 360 is the same why
              56 bucks for the year With good service

                          Iphone is just a joke. Apple as a whole can't compare to nokia capability or even samsung, lg and SE. Apple has hypnotized their customers over time when their sale starts falling down then they release a newer version with nearly nothing new features. Come on wake up kid. Grow up and be guidied by ur dad ...

                                "Apple done presenting iPhone OS 3.0 - over 100 new features"... but... don't most of these features come out of the box in almost all devices today? Where's the innovation? The iphone had a groundbreaking OS and UI and 2 or 3 years later this is the best they can come up with? Where's the innovation?
