You can call it many things, but "clunky" is not one of them. It's really not slow, either, except for the Edge thing (and it also does WiFi) -- 620 MHz ARM processor.
I can pretty much bet if the phone was from, say Creative Labs, there wouldn't be much, if any, media frenzy about it.
Indeed not, because there's zero chance that Creative Labs would ever produce anything like it.
It just appears that when apple takes a dump, there are scores of people standing around to say "oh my god, what a new inovative pile of poop.
And scores of other people standing around waiting to declare any new Apple product "poop", no matter how Insanely Great it really is.
Oh well. I'm still waiting for someone to point out what is so great about this phone (other then it's marketing) that commands it's high price for as little as it does or lacks.. But hey, it's got a cool screen to keep you busy 
and if other manufactures come out with phones that let you stroke the screen.. then I guess that's a plus.
