What, besides advertising, could convince them of this when these people have never even seen one in real life?
Accessibility: the iPhone is "idiot-proof." You don't have to think about it. You turn it on, download your apps, make your calls, and that's it. By completely locking the system down they made it extremely user-friendly. By giving me 1,000 choices for my phone, I'm also likely to have 1,000 problems.

Ok, I agree with all that. I just had a guy tonight at a wedding I was DJing, tell me how awesome his iPhone is when he saw me using my TP. Oh and did I mention he worked for APPLE?!!! anyway, he was an idiot to say the least, when I tried explaining to him about the free apps versus the 'paid apps' with iPhone, he insisted I was wrong and that he got them for free. Well he works for apple so I would imagine he would get some frre right? Then he tries out doing my phone. He ran all sorts of speed tests, with scrolling, they were about the same speeds give or take. When I told him his phone was basically made for the common idiot who couldn't even fathom navigation on a PPC, he decided to pull out the 'ore apps than you crap'. But he didn't, he was astonished that I can listen to XM Radio on my TP, and watch live streaming video (not like the iphone downloaded video, but the 'LIVE' streaming video0 with no lag... Yes people, he was a true idiot...
