@EddieD I'm afraid they do. Ever heard about the same mistake being made twice? it's not like mankind has evolved in any way over time. Well that's just what the scientist say...
I am the owner of an iPhone and it's a nice phone. I've had different versions almost since it came out, but I am a bit bored with it now and after having tried the new Nokia Lumia 800 I am really considering a change. I really like it and I would recommend others to have a look feel.
My initial thought was actually to try out Android, but I can't find one phone with a nice design and I really don't like the user interface. And after having a lot of friends which has had problems with stutter, volume, shutdown, etc. I'm going to stay away. A lot are happy with Android and I'm happy on their behalf.
Actually I would recommend this article, which explains some of my points:
