Well its really comes as no surprise obviously, even though some people do get blind sighted by flashes of glitzy gizmos. But a phone is all about communication first and foremost. Adding an mp3 player to it is secondary, or didnt you already know? And while Apple has in fact managed to come away with just the right mix with iPhone, right look and right interface for its device... it does however, let you down in the main function: communication. Primarily text or email, basically anywhere you need to have more keystrokes than just dialing a number, you'll have a bit of a struggle with the iPhone, unless you have fingers that look like knitting needles. Or you text like this guy does on his ancient phone, using a pencil!
Bottom line: a phone HAS to be good for "communication"
I've never had any problems communicating with people, and I think its cuz my phone does the job for me quite well:

A friend had a play with the iphone recently and made the same comment about needing pencil thin fingers. Communication is the most important function but I'm more and more using PDA functions and also needing to receive e-mail, something my current phone is lacking. But I'll do some more research before rushing out and by the latest novelty.
Liripoop you're right about the PDA part, but there again, you need decent keys, and of course email is still communication. Purely touchscreen phones just dont do it. Unless Apple would want to move back to the stylus, which they probably wont.
