Apple people need to try other products!!!
Sorry Clay,
But you are coming across a bit Ilove anything Apple. I've never bought anything Apple yet (come across as too propriatry to me) but maybe I'm wrong. I am however totally disloyal to big companies that make things for a profit. I'll buy what suits me, be it Windows Mobile, Symbian OS or Palm OS (Had all three).
Anyway point is :
"Apple have never claimed that it is the first internet phone, simply the first phone that displays the internet in a fairly standards compliant manner."
Sorry, but Total Rubbish !!!
I've seen devices running Palm, and Symbian and Windows Mobile over the last few years that have done an excellent job of "displaying the internet in a fairly compient manner". My current gadget a HTC Universal does a fantastic job using Opera or even the built in IE (though I am using an unofficial WM6 version). This is not even a baby step forward.
The only PLUS here, is that with all the hype, hopefully more sites will make an effort to make themselves more compatible with mobile device browsers.
"By changing the way we look at mobile devices, I'm simply saying that while it may be lacking a feature here, or a feature there, without being biased, it is hard to fault the phone at what it does do."
Not sure why it would change the way I look at my Mobile devices. It does the same things (actually a few of them. Most features are missing). But it does appear to have good UI. Perhaps it will encourage others to focus more on ease of use.
"My iPhone just does what I want it to without too much of a fuss."
Get youself a cheap basic phone without lots of clever features. You will be able to make the same claim.
"Have they been made out off high quality glass??? No, they have been crappy plastic."
As most people with touch screens will tell you. Get yourself some "Crappy plastic" (screen protector) quick and stick it on. Very useful.
and in terms of what they are made from, I don't care. As long as they provide a good durable display.
"Has a phone or any other device for that matter ever had such a high resolution screen?"
Buy the bucketload. Get out more.
To be fair, maybe this is a big deal in the US. Perhaps you don't get the range of phones the rest of the word does ?
