That's exactly my point. As a rule (meaning that there are occasional exceptions), popularity != merit.

iPhone is not the best phone. There is no such thing as the best phone. If I need 50€ phone for a holiday to a dangerous location, I would not get iPhone. It would not be the best. If I need something else, the best to my needs will be the best then. Eventho I love thrashing iphone just as much as the next guy, could we please stop using it as the mother of all phones? It is just a phone, even the name says so, even if you can browse the net with it. :)

I'm glad that at least here in Europe there are more open eyes ;)

Why was Iphone even so good in the first place, it didn't seem so good in 2007 and i still don't see it...Why are people crazy about this thing?

Never underestimate the power of Hypnocorp.

While I'm in no way a supporter of the iCrap technosphere, quite the contrary, this is the most bulshitish line of plenty of them within this `missing features list`. You cannot get a cancer from non-ionizing radiation, period!

That's why they're called "sheep."

Millions of people care about Paris Hilton too. Mouth breathing slow minded folks like shiny things. There's your explanation. :D

I really don't understand all the hate towards the iPhone or any other device, I had the iPhone since day 1 all the way upto the 3GS and am now on the N900, but my iPhone was an excellent phone and still is, I loved watching movies on it and the occasional game.

Yes the iPhone has limitations, but who cares, thats how Apple designed it, they designed it to make money, and thats what happened.

I really like my N900, but I wouldnt class it as better than my old iPhone, different comes to mind, because 2 different devices, designed for 2 different markets.

But to the point at hand, all this blah blah moan moan about iPhone's compared to the N900 really makes this excellent site come across and a load of tosh, managed by tosh writers and populated by tosh members, for the love of all that is wrong with the world GROW UP, can we not keep this site and its forums full with useful advice and tips instead of this constant wah wah iPhones are ****, HTC's are ****, anything thats not Nokia is **** policy sweeping these discussions...

I don't think anyone hates the iPhone, or iPhone users. I think what most people are attacking are the fanboys who, with glazed eyes, scream long and hard about the iPhones "advantages."

And you are right. They ARE two different markets.

Just like childrens books are for children, and science/mathematics books are for engineers.

People can argue until they're blue in the face, but no matter how many times you read a childrens book, change the font, rebind it or even put a shiney cover on it, it's still a book written for 5 year olds.

That, I think, is the point most people are trying to make. Anyone who just doesn't "get it" never will. Not until they bother taking a few CIT classes in college and really understanding information technology and many of the ground breaking possibilities with the N900. So yes, Apple is brilliant. They have marketed a childrens book to the masses, that, guess what, the masses love. But to try and argue that it is somehow superior. :D Laughable.

Hmmm... one could easily use the same argument on religion. No wonder that some people praise the iPhone as a `Jesus Phone` and consider Steve Jobs as the new Messiah :D

Thank you for clarifying the meme Apple uses to sell its products - they are using the technique that has been around for thousands of years. Sans the beheadings, of course.

Because it does a lot of things right! I like N900 but it is a half-baked device. Iphone 3GS works flawlessly with what it has. For me email is important, and N900 can not come close to iphone 3GS in terms of email.......I have to admit I have a factory unlocked iphone so not limited to ATT or itunes
