At the end of the day, what you guys fail to realise is that specs matter little - it's the ultimate user experience that wins overall.

if a poll indicates HTc desire has a better user experience, will u invariably say that the htc is the better phone.

As a matter of fact, specs in conjuction with user experience is what is most important. Apple made a breakthrough in d mobile phone industry with the release of the (legendary) iphone in june 07 but since then they've not recorded that success in their other products.
Other companies have improved and even outclassed them in some of the features.

Please mention any other phone in the world that has similar 'features and functions'.

You should be in a better position to list features and functions cos all that i know are already existing features n functions.

since the announcements of the 4g Tech enthusaists around the world dont find anything truly unique or overwhelming.

pros
Design (u cant beat it)
Good battery life
Apps (bonus)

The phone is overprised (we're in iworld )
No Flash (85% of the top 100 websites uses flash)
Charges for satnav (too poor)
Facetime (doesn't makes sense, the world ve past that)

texazz:

Multitask/background apps is easily enabled through several jailbreak solutions.
And in before any snarky comments from Android users about not having to jailbreak, we'd have to agree that any serious Andoid fan really has to root his device. And iPhone jailbreaks are far easier these days than rooting Android phones.

Must we always jailbreak for for what is obtainable worldwide Does that makes sense cant we be free

If we're to go by polls
A recent poll in the US indicates that iphones fans are more inclined to get and stick with the android. (where're dollars heading to)

True developers are more in love with iphone but surveys by Appcelerator favours the android as the most favored platform for the future. (dollars will definitely shift)

As my guy Jason sums it up "The handset is a triumph of marketing over functionality."

I'm a little concerned about the fact that the iPhone 4 struggles to make phone calls!  Have we lost the plot people?  if you're left handed then holding the phone this way blocks the signal! - fact

Almost every single tech blog state in their reviews that the iPhone 4 is the best all round smartphone in the market today.

As for the 'overpriced' jibe, the iPhone price is very comparable to other top smartphones around the world. The HTC Desire has been out for a while now, and is 429 pounds. the iPhone 4 has arguably better specs and is 499 unlocked.
I don't see the massive price gap. Do you?

Please find out how much the HTC HD2 and the Nokia N97 were at launch.

The most outstanding quality of the iPhone is its stability

STABILITY? According to Apple the antenna is wired round the body for utmost signal reception but we have seen that the biggest problem of the iphone is its reception capabilities leading to high drop calls.

Wrong. Reception capabilities of the iPhone are top notch.
The reason for some dropped calls in weak signal areas is when the two external antennas are bridged. It doesn't happen to all users and will only be an issue is weak signal areas. The free case included by Apple solves this problem.

The OS stability is beyond question.

and now we are talking about Iphone 10 soonest
