Re: Nine Alternatives To Apple's iPhone said by phattieg:Dude, $600 can buy you a damn laptop. At least with that, you can place free calls thru VoIP from a free internet connection at a hotspot. It's a bit less convenient to carry around, though.
It's feature set isn't all THAT spectacular. If you look at it just as a feature set, maybe not. But you have to see the device as a whole. There is nothing like it.
One feature, the touch screen, shouldn't be sold short. This isn't like what you're used to from Palm or Windows CE devices. It's multitouch -- kinda like the Microsoft Surface, only smaller, cheaper, and here now. See the demos where the guy "grabs" a picture with his fingers, stretches it and turns it? You've never done that before.
The arguments against the iPhone (yours and others') all seem to be from a "pragmatic" viewpoint, which kind of misses the point. No one needs an iPhone. It's purely about technophilia.
