Defend "far more"?
I don't think you can -- and you definitely cannot acknowledge iPhone's
actual features and claim those low-price models do far more.
Jeez, either change the way you comment about products or change your
conclusions. You make yourself look downright stupid.

Defend "does less"?

It has superior features in MANy ways -- how can such narrow and
slow-minded people keep harping on two features it doesn't have and not
acknowledge four that it does BEST?

For the things you conveniently (and routinely) ignore.
The things that do not fit that exact user you just described, but DO
FIT OTHERS!!

Like --
huge internal storage
HUGE screen
better, simpler interface
simpler, slimmer design
excellent music software/synching


Personally, the screen trumps EVERYTHING.
Everything I want such a device for needs the highest resolution
available in a pocket device -- so compare ONLY devices near 320x480,
and come back.

Umm... don't fall for his shallow tricks.
The articles said that one store had that many people. It also said
there were 700 stores.
He had no reason to combine the two facts -- but even if he did, the
natural combination would be to assume all stores had lines of 350
people, (also clearly not what was reported) not to assume 350 stores
had two people each.

Or, more likely, given the lack of capabilities, one every other store.

well, maybe they sold 200,000 in the first three days--that's
technically "hundreds of thousands"--and expect to sell zero more
between now and Christmas.

All the Apple haters who tried to put a negative spin on the original
iPhone rollout last June were proven wrong, when Apple exceed all
projections for sales and profits, and history is repeating now in
Europe, and will again next year in Asia.

Sounds like yet another Oxford sock puppet, complete with spamming the
same cell phone groups!
