Oh, and is this for the US only? I can't imagine it would be any other way.

You wonder why Apple tops the charts? Ask any Christian what they think about Christianity, as a religion. I'm sure you'll get rave reviews, religious fanatic or not.
iPods and iPhones have always topped every chart, in popularity, build quality, customer satisfaction, etc. Really? There's nothing out there better than an iPod? Nothing out there better than an iPhone? I've had my share of MP3 players, iPods, sandisks, zunes, cowans, creatives, toshibas. iPod is no where near the top of my list. In addition, with each new generation, I grow more and more disappointed with their lack of new features and updates.
Unfortunately, this is something you can't argue with the general population. Everyone out there *wants* an ipod, they look at me like "Why would you want something OTHER than an iPod???" Honestly, the rationing behind their love for the iPod is about equal to that of a 15 year old trying to explain why the Mustang is such a great car.

Just because you don't "get it" or don't like something doesn't mean you're right. In fact, if you don't get it and you don't like it at the same time, it's usually an indication you're wrong.
I'm no apple fanboy, owning more linux/unix machines than anything else (mixed with macs & windows machines), but I respect the fact apple has taken the market by storm. There were people who voiced their opinions and made claims many a year ago about machines taking over from people, these people were called luddites... their opinions were founded on false premises too.

Also, does it ever occur to you that adding features is not the only way to make a product better? You and your tastes are not necessarily representative of the rest of the world, and that also doesn't make you right by some kind of exclusion principle.

Oh ya, and I'm pretty sure we all think that ideas and theories that we hold are correct. I mean, if you don't think that what you're suggesting is correct; why do you suggest it?
Go find some other reason to get angry at people who show some negativity towards Apple.

I could've easily been an apple fan. My first MP3 player was a 4th gen ipod, 40GB. It lasted about a year for me, but I was still convinced it was a great product. I thought it had a great GUI, great sound, I assumed the random crashes were normal and justified. When it died, I walked into the store with the intent to buy the 5th gen, through some stroke of fate, I ended up walking out with a Zen Vision:M. I got home, loaded it up, and WOW, it sounded better, it had a more extensive GUI, it had a better screen than the current gen color ipods. I could go on.
Let me give you some examples: I like Logitech products, every mouse and keyboard I've purchased from 1998 till 2008 has been made by Logitech, and I would swear by them. But then I had to buy a bulk of mice for my company, the Microsoft version was cheaper, so I grabbed 10 of them. Side-by-side the MS ones are kicking my Logitech's ass. Much less wireless interference (if any), longer battery life, um..the feet even stay glued on. Had I never picked up the other brand, I would've simply accepted Logitech was the Ultimate brand.
Most reviews are crap. I run computers running WinNT-Win7, OSX, and Ubuntu Linux. None of my experiences match the reviews. I'm typing on WinXP, home computer. My system up time is 46 days and counting, I almost never shut this thing down. So much for Windows being unstable. I run Ubuntu (currently 9.04, but since 6.xx), It's good for certain tasks, but even after some fresh installs, I typically get a lot of GUI freezes and fatal glitches. MacOS, I'm very mixed on that as well. It's fairly stable, like my windows machine, but I've never really become accustomed to the Interface and settings. I feel like I may as well be running Sugar OS.
and BTW, my comments are always long-winded, that doesn't make me an "anti-apple/anti-iphone troll who refuses to believe hard stats and feels that their opinion should be shared in a wall of text."

O noes I must be brainwashed. I'm gonna go finish writing my love/threat to Jobs with my little glittery heart stickers, and buy more iTunes LP.

I wish that when I was researching whether to buy my mac or not I would have been able to hear the truth about it, and not just the delusional rantings of the stupid stupid fanboys. Truthfully its a mediocre computer, with just as many, if not more problems than my windows computer had.
The customer service was terrible once it broke because they don't care about you.
Anyone thinking of buying an apple product I would highly reconsider.

I would have liked to have seen this phone next to something to get a scale on it. It wont fit ANY holders or cases, but the odd shape would make it easier to find in the depths of a dark purse.

Unless you're one of the new converts after the JJ Abrams movie. In which case....carry on.
