If I buy a product, then *I* give a <your word, not mine> about what I
want. Your questions are only relevant if the person buying the product
wants every option available. And quite frankly I don't. Let's take cars
for example: I have a comfortable three-door hatchback. Does it go 0 to
60 in 4 seconds? No. But I don't care if it did. I wouldn't drive it
that way even so. Does it have a Hemi engine. Once again, No, but I
don't care. The 5-cylinder VW engine works just fine for me.

Just because some new gadget doesn't have EVERY little feature doesn't
make it bad. Sometimes less is more.

So far, I've found my iPhone satisfactory for what *I* want. And I'm
sick and tired of people like you trying to tell me what I *should* want.

I want simplicity, I want reliability, I want value for my money. It's
why I buy Glock, why I buy VW, and why I buy Apple.

I've got a few discouraging words. I'm a realist not a politician trying
to make everyone happy.

I can't see the screen half the time. There's apparently no way to
increase the text and icon size for older people like myself that would
appreciate that sort of thing.

The EDGE and 3G coverage in my area isn't very good.

The screen smears way too much. But I've had that problem with every
phone. Even my ancient Nokia got skin oils all over it if I used it more
than a couple times. Gently clean with a soft rag and it's fine.

Calm down. You're going to give yourself a heart attack.
