Kurt, I think you are extra defensive for the iPhone. Again, my point is, ALL of these phones are like looking at the web thru a straw. ...i'll give you that the iPhone is a fatter staw than most, but it is still a straw. Then there is the input... A non-tactile tumb-keypad is pathetic compared to a real keyboard, or even the handwritting recognition of a (gasp) Msft product.

What bugs me are those who over-sell the abilities of the device. ...any device.
