nytimes.com — ..I was in bed, fighting rage. I couldn’t stop thinking about that device’s tarty little face and those yapping “apps” you can download for it. The whole iPhone enterprise seemed to require so much attention, organization, explanation, praise, electricity...Oh, God. I really was losing it. As I composed my running-late text...At breakfast

excellent writing - unusual for anything passing as journalism today.I've never really used an iphone - I have used smartphones (motorola q), then ppc (HTC mogul and now HTC Touch Pro).I don't mind tapping the screen for typing if I have to, but the keyboards on all the phones I've had have been well used and extremely appreciated.If you're considering getting a smartphone, go play with an HTC Touch pro for a day or 2 - it runs great, touchflo looks and works great, the phone has tons of memory, gps, an small (mini? micro?) sd slot, wifi , accelerometer and the keyboard makes your life that much easier.

I hate my iPhone... or stupid broad with fat fingers doesn't read the owners manual, is techno-illiterate, and has a beef with AT&T, but has a knack for writing so it's all good.

Um how about no... no as in no flash support, no background apps, no synergy. Get off your high horse and get a clue after that.

Seriously, well written commentary clearly has its place -- and this piece is exceptionally well written.
