What I don't quite get is how Apple get to call this device a smartphone? Phone, sure. Smart? not so sure. Isn't a smartphone supposed to verge on being a mobile computer? A computer is by definition a device where the user gets to decide what it must do and what apps it should run. Contrast the iphone with the little 6120 Classic Nokia just launched; runs s60v3 fp1 same as their top of line devices, supports HSDPA (30 times the dl sped of edge?)! for heavens sake, can be used as a modem (hmmm ideal companion phone to the N800...) via bluetooth, camera, soon 8g microsdhc? Suddenly all the iphone offers is a snazzy touchscreen interface it seems to me - and even that seems to be getting some flak. The perfect phone AND fashion accessory - for my teenage sister maybe.
