"Buy a different phone." --seems to brush-off the OP concerns.
There is plenty to like about Apple products, just as there is about msft products, or RIMM products, or Motorola...
What is striking is how the fanboys (and stock-holders) here let the 'good' of Apple products cloud their thinking. News-Flash: Apple is an AGGRESSIVE business player.
--I hate to harsh your mac-mellow, but, seriously dude, Appl is big business....
Both Jobs and Gates played to win. Gates has moved on to other things, and Jobs is still pushing hard! --impressively so. I do hope that Both companies continue to push, and the new players continue to raise the bar. All of this competition is great for the consumer.
