Before the iPhone, ("BI" for the religous) I had a Nokia 770. It's about the same size as the iPhone, and is a TS(touchscreen) UI web-browser, but it has 2.5x more pixels (800x480). That was, to me, the bottom end of what a web-device could have.
I was very hopeful for the iPhone, and obviously disapointed with the feature-set they delivered. I do give them credit for the fuzzy back-zoom. That does help navigate a page. But still, it is wanting pixels. I imagine that Apple will come out with an "HD iphone" soon . .something closer to vga. It's really kind of a no brainer. |
Well, it took me a week or two to get used to the UI, especially the key input. Sure there are some missing features, but it's still a new device.
I've read many reviews of the iPhone, both good and bad, and I don't recall any significant criticism of the screen. It's actually the "feature" that most critics and regular folks like. There are plenty of other "real" shortcomings to bark about.
The iPhone was remarkably hyped and many folks bought them just to buy them, but there is also a much bigger group of folks, IMO, who wanted the iPhone for its features. It may not fit your needs, or maybe you would never like an Apple product for your own religious reasons, but it's hard to ignore the success of the product. And, according to the reports of search engines like Google, the fanboys and regular customers are using the phones.
Of course there will be "new improved" and thinner and faster iPhones in the future. Perhaps HD, 3G and for sure a flood of new apps in June.
For some reason, I think if your desired feature set was available you still wouldn't be seen with an Apple product!
Take care,
