ok... cyber monkey... i like your style. you are correct in all points. especially the point about iphone making everyone step up thier game. especially rim... w/ the storm and storm 2.

so... thanks.

the only issue i have which is the big deal breaker in all you said is that... apple wants to make sure that you don't jail break your phone. by doing bimonthly updates, and stuff like that. yea... there are ways around it... but in the end... its so much more of a hassle. i mean... when we flash winmo roms... its not like all of a sudden we can't plug in the phone to our computers. or fully utilize the syncing of itunes to it. AAAND as I said before. in the case that you have an ipod, or an ipt. then what?

oh... but i do like your unbiased oppinion. again... its nothing against the iphone... its apple all together.

ps... remember when jailbreak first came out, and apple made the itunes brick the phone if you sync'd?? yea...

Yes, Apple seems to have this grudge against jailbreaking, but if they would have included some functionality, there actually would be no reason to jailbreak.
I know people who are happy go lucky without jailbreaking their iPhones. Me on the other hand, the main reason I jailbroke mine was to have a background image behind the icons instead of a plain black screen. Then I found all the other posibilities due to jailbreaking.

At the same time, if Apple included all the functionality from the get go, then they would not have people by hook line and sinker with the updates and new firmwares and new hardware versions of the phone.
They get somebody hooked on the iPhone and some people will go out and get the newest one first day cause it's a better version than the one they already have and love.
