There iphones are great and well made, that one product changed the entire industry and how we use and look at cell phones. Yes we use to have the black berry's and all but nothing works as well as the iphone. The Droid is great I will say that but it's apps are limited and how they want you do download music is sort of a joke.

No worries about hijacking, a good debate never hurt anyone.

It all boils down to the dumb-ing down of society, IMHO. Ive been using PC's for far too long, and when I jump on a Mac, I feel like I need to go full retard. That's Apples goal: how can we make this so simple and intuitive that ANYONE can use it. Great...but I'm not "anyone", not to toot my own horn. I WANT ****-tons of features and to be able to hack the crap out of it. I don't want my hands tied because Apple says so.

The way you're viewing it seems rather simplistic to be honest - "nothing works as well as the iPhone" - how so? Blackberries are amazing pieces of machinery in a very tiny package. The reason the iPhone is so popular has a LOT more to do with the simply fact that to many, its a status symbol. But for doing actual work and productivity things, the Blackberry will probably rape face. My Curve 8330 was awesome, and seeing as I don't need all the cheese-ball apps that the iPhone has, what did I care? So, ask yourself this - if you took away all the silly apps from the iPhone and the Blackberry, what are you left with? One is a toy, and one is a tool.

BTW, your hardware surviving that long means nothing to me lol - my sister is using a laptop of mine that is almost 7 years old now, and its still amazing. Yeah, its not the BEST spec-wise of course, but it still runs, and its plenty fast for her.

I will give you this however - you are very correct, that the iPhone is making companies look again, at how we look at cell phones. Everything is so mobile now, its scary.
