No, because, as I pointed out, the story contradicted itself, much like
you often do. If you read it with a critical eye you could've figured it
out yourself. Or did you actually believe nearly 1% of the population of
the UK bought an iPhone this weekend?

Except they apparently did, didn't they? ;-)

Defend "far more"?
I don't think you can -- and you definitely cannot acknowledge iPhone's
actual features and claim those low-price models do far more.
Jeez, either change the way you comment about products or change your
conclusions. You make yourself look downright stupid.

Defend "does less"?

It has superior features in MANy ways -- how can such narrow and
slow-minded people keep harping on two features it doesn't have and not
acknowledge four that it does BEST?

For the things you conveniently (and routinely) ignore.
The things that do not fit that exact user you just described, but DO
FIT OTHERS!!

Like --
huge internal storage
HUGE screen
better, simpler interface
simpler, slimmer design
excellent music software/synching


Personally, the screen trumps EVERYTHING.
Everything I want such a device for needs the highest resolution
available in a pocket device -- so compare ONLY devices near 320x480,
and come back.

Umm... don't fall for his shallow tricks.
The articles said that one store had that many people. It also said
there were 700 stores.
He had no reason to combine the two facts -- but even if he did, the
natural combination would be to assume all stores had lines of 350
people, (also clearly not what was reported) not to assume 350 stores
had two people each.

Or, more likely, given the lack of capabilities, one every other store.

All the Apple haters who tried to put a negative spin on the original
iPhone rollout last June were proven wrong, when Apple exceed all
projections for sales and profits, and history is repeating now in
Europe, and will again next year in Asia.

Couldnt agree more.

I mean, keep the iPoop discussion to the att and iphone groups, not the
Verizon, Nokia, and T-Mobile groups.

It'll hurt when reality sets in.....

Infoworld, October 2007:
"For the three months ending Sept. 30, net profit increased 85
percent over the third quarter of 2006, to €1.6 billion ($2.3
billion). Net sales rose 28 percent to €12.9 billion. Earnings
per share rose 90 percent to €0.40.

The company shipped 112 million units, 26 percent more than in
the same period a year before. Nokia estimates it holds a 39
percent share of the mobile market."

Nokia sold more phones, yesterday, than Apple has since it
started!.....hee hee...(c

Using my Linux-based, Nokia N800 Maemo software HP42C scientific
calculator, if 112M is 39% of the market, all of 'em sold over
287,000,000 phones in just the THIRD QUARTER! That's
1,148,000,000 (with the B) phones in a year!

It's amazing ANY of us can make a call in all THAT NOISE!!...(c;

Larry
--
Let's pretend each phone puts out .2W (200 mw). If we get them
to all make a call simultaneously, their combined power output
will be 229.75 MEGAWATTS of RF power.....JUST FROM THE PHONES
THAT SOLD IN THE LAST YEAR! If everyone transmits at once, WE
MAY SPLIT THE PLANET APART, MAKING NUCLEAR WAR LOOK LIKE A
PICNIC!

Governments better be nice to us!

Imagine the worldwide SELLphone CHARGING load on the world's
electrical grid!
