The trillions of iPhone users are not stupid. They just have different tastes than us - which is why they adapt to its cons fairly easily. To me personally, the Appstore concept doesn't make sense but you can think otherwise since 300 million people or so agree with you.
people are usually attracted to a device(or anything) because that device has one or two features or traits that are central to the individual's wants or needs. that need or want may well be to be seen with a cool device, and the chances are, that makes up a significant portion of the iphone buyers.
because being the owner of a 'cool' device is central to their needs, the iphones faults are brushed off as being unimportant to them, and i believe them when they say they are unimportant to them. but that doesn't mean that they were unimportant before they got the iphone, it;s just that they have adjusted their needs to the device, and because such needs pale into insignificance when compared with their centra needs and wants.
in relation to what i said earlier about people adjusting to their devices rather than the other way around, before i got the viewty, the phone's browser was not one of my needs or wants. so was a touch sensitive form factor. now i find that i use the browser on the viewty more than any other feature, and this is because it has a large screen and is 3G. now, i would wish for a touch screen device, 3G/HSDPA, and a large screen on my next device. before i got the viewty, the broser was of no importance.
ergo, i have adjusted my needs to that of the phone because i want to make full use of it.

Comparing the iphone to the 5800 is like comparing a Porche to a Renault!
Yes you have full options and functionalities in a Renault for 1/4 the price of a Porche but what the hell! can you compare the beauty and the power of a Porche with a Renault???
And for the missing options ,like for cars,you can add them later like ibluetooth,swirlMMS...
I love my 5800 for the full options its giving me but I hate it because of it's playschool look !!!

Or maybe just maybe people are not always bowled over by hordes of features most of which they will not even use. Instead they want a few key features that perform good rather than lots of features that perform average. Iphone is already suited to people, its the other manufacturers that were trying to do it backwards.

lol ......you can tell how great the iphone is by the number of people that dont even own but feel compelled to rant about it
you never see iphone user complaining about those useless SE or nokias
i used to be a massive nokia fan, hell i even picked the username, i have used nearly every highend nokia and i can say that even with the obvious flaws the iphone is in a different class to all of them, its a phone that never gets boring, nearly everyday u discover something new to play with, its no wonder that the batttery never lasts, its cus we are never off it!

What about the millions of Germans who supported Hitler, and the other millions of Germans who claim Hitler and his troops didn't gas the Jews. Are / were they wrong?
You seriously think this argument can be compared to the Holocaust? It's a phone for goodness sake!
Yes. It clearly proves that millions of people can easily be wrong.
Hardly the same situation Mizzle is it? What a ridiculous thing to say.
