Default iPhone Competition

at&t is releasing a touch screen phone mid March, it is the LG-VU or cu920
as at&t will call it. This phone will be so close to an iPhone in features
but so much cheaper AND with a new 2 year contract a much lower price! Here
in Milwaukee authorized dealers have been given word that mid March is the
expected release. In Europe it is called the LG PRADA so Google it for the
details.

The iPhone isn't about features, price, performance, or anything else.
It's a fashion statement.

"Think Different" (just like everyone else)

That is your narrow opinion. The iPhone has a lot of features and many
that I am interested in. I have not bought it yet since I am convinced
for my use, as I travel a lot on trains and they don't have Wi-Fi on
the trains, is that I need 3G. I have tried it both at stores and also
been able to test the iPhones of friends. It is not a fashion
statement. It has very good features and the internet performance is
great on Wi-Fi. It is not that bad on Edge but I could use a little
more speed.

Translation: I can't afford an iPhone ;-)

Seriously, I have not seen one person who owns an iPhone complain about
it. What I see are usually jealous rants from what appear to persons of
high school age that troll these groups.

Everyone I know that owns one, and everyone I ask who has one have said
they are very happy with their iPhone.

I don't think it so much that they can't afford the iPhone as that
these groups are infested with trolls who have to have something to
hate.

The return rate is very high. I have a apple store and a AT&T store in town.
The return rate is higher at AT&T then the apple store. Apple charges 20%
return fee.
AT&T gives you 30 days to try with no return fee's.

Was told that the return rate thru AT&T is around 25-30%
Apple company wide is around 20%

Number one reason is battery does not last very long.

Don't mean to be overly suspicious of your post, but could you please
provide a link to this information. Or anything even close to these
claims. A quick google search shows none of the facts in your post to be
true.

I doubt you have any knowledge of the return rates. Having an Apple
store and an AT&T store in town does not give you that information.

As far as the battery life, none I have talked to who owns one has
complained about the battery life. If they have any complaint it is
that Edge can be slow. None had any regrets about buying the iPhone.
