Actually the other phones that are listed are not only very popular, but have sold in the thousands in just a few short weeks. Most of these were created as competition to the iPhone and yet history will most likely show that in the end, the Apple phone is the best. If it were not for the brilliant iPhone concept, these may not have been created.
After all it's Apple that has raised the bar and shown the world what can be done.
Apple is a great company. The iPhone is already in that elite class of phone and it's the best. So there is no reason it should be put in the bargain bin and sold at a fraction of it's value.
Finally why would anyone call the already successful iPhone a massive failure? After all, it's the only phone in history that has generated this much interest, buzz and customer interest before even being produced and sold to the public.
I find the response quoted above rather puzzling? Is that jealousy and anger, it seems to be, thereforee it needs to be properly directed at Apple for creating something newer, better and more expensive. And yet that does not make any sense. Why would one not be happy to see an American company like Apple be successful? Very puzzling indeed.
My choice is to embrace and celebrate Apples success. Look at the stock price! Little did I know 9 years ago when I began purchasing Apple stock that it would be worth what it is today.
If one visits the Apple web site and sees the pricing on their other stellar products, and compares that to the iPhones tentative $749 price, it's obviously a bargain. Plain and simple.
When the competition heats up, Apple comes through....
