That last paragraph of yours would be the antithesis of what the OP is
trying to accomplish: that is, get "reliable info" about the iPhone. I
didn't read that he wanted "excitement" info from exuberant iPhone fans. I
think he wants "reliable info" which comes from reading BOTH sides. I'm not
a personal fan of Larry's particularly, but his points about iPhone's
deficits are generally accurate and should be strongly considered by those
seeking "reliable info" and should be taken into account in seeking a
viewpoint which is balanced against the over-exuberance of, say, an Oxford
or 4phun. Taken TOGETHER, one may gain a balanced picture.
