I don't think anyone anticipated how popular the iphone was going to be... certainly not AT&T and to some extent, Verizon. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have rejected it when Apple came to Verizon first. It is definitely a problem and the source of most complaints but in reality, I would bet the other carriers wouldn't mind having similar problems.
Love it or hate it, the iphone definitely has definitely signaled the age of the smartphone. Smartphone development over the last 2 years has grown in leaps and bounds... now all of platforms (iphone, Winmo, and now Android) are more and more heavily data centric.
