My point was about the use as web-friendly tool. While the iPhone has useful panning, it is still like viewing the web thru a straw ...you have to pan all over the place . .it simply, physically, does not put up the information for an easy view.
As to what else is out there (pocketable phone with nice screen) there are a few. Glofiish has some VGA phones (that's 2x more pixels than the iPhone).
fwiw, the Nokia shown above is designed to work as an ip-phone (with video conf.) ..and has 2.5 more pix than the iPhone.

I look at LCDs all day, and the iPhone display is excellent. Maybe it's because my eyes are getting old and you have especially sensitive eyes?  |
Yep, the iPhone screen is "great". . . for an HVGA display. It's bright, nice contrast, hard first surface... It's just that John wrote "The web browsing of the iPhone is a big draw for us. The BB's web browsing doesn't work for me. " --The BB has similar tools (I prefer them) for panning and zooming. So, if you expect to, say, browse all day and post long-winded replies on Pelican, well, the iPhone is going to suck . ..most any phone is going to suck ...except for some folks who appear to be wearing their bias on their sleeves. <---- I cut and pasted that last part. (try that simple move on an iPhone)
