usatoday.com — Early iPhone owners are overwhelmingly happy with their devices...In one of the first such studies, 90% of 200 owners said they were "extremely" or "very" satisfied with their phone. And 85% said they are "extremely" or "very" likely to recommend the device to others

If you bought yours on June 29, you shouldn't have had to pay the $60 restocking fee. I bought mine on June 29 and had the receipt to prove it, and they didn't charge me for restocking. I'm still gonna get a bill for about $70 from AT&T (activation + prorated monthly fee) but I estimated as much when I decided to try out an iPhone.

What's wrong? You started out all calm and normal, and now you're freaking out. Don't worry, no one's going to take your phone away and make you use a big bad iPhone. Seriously, dude, go get laid or something.

Uh, I don't believe you can buy a MiniOne yet, and it will be a very long time before it appears in the U.S., and never with multi-touch. We shall see what price it actually enters the market at, too, and where the iPhone is at then. Expect the unlimited data plan to be far higher than the iPhone's, thus making the MiniOne TCO over 2 years far more expensive. The iPhone already has a faster processor (620 MHz vs. 533 Mhz), the same amount of DRAM, and a better OS. (Where'd you ever get the idea that Windows Mobile is better?) The MiniOne also looks uncannily like an iPhone. Amazing how such coincidences occur. Not too surprising for Asia, I guess.

You are missing my point. Im not claiming that heavy marketing correlates with functionality. Im claiming that the average ipod user didn't stand around at best by doing a feature comparison. They arrived in the store already set on the ipod. They didn't even see the other players. And I own the creative zen touch 40gb. It does eveything I need, and it was cheaper than the equivalent ipod at the time (not anymore). I don't buy mp3 players to stand in awe of their awesome interfaces, I buy them to have easy access to 40 gigs of music.Betamax was superior to VHS in technical specs, but it ultimately lost. Starting with records, then tapes, then CDs, and now digital files, the fidelity of the sound reproduced by each media has decreased with each iteration of new technology. Functionality is good, but marketing rules the day. And if you really think that digg count is an indication of a valid argument, you must be new to digg. Watch for the O RLYs that get 3000 diggs, and then valid arguments against apple/nintendo/ron paul/liberal ideas get dugg down to infinity. On digg, you are entitled to your opinion, but it better be the majority one.
