I got this question a lot lately, sometimes from a techie, sometimes from normal people (yes techies are not normal people). I must admit that at first as was looking at them and my expressiom was saying “What are kidding me, it’s an IPHONE Hello!”. But after a while I translated their question in “What makes an iPhone an iPhone?”. Well beside the hype and even the design, which I guess now looking back made a big difference in the purchase decision. THE reason I bought the iPhone, is to have everything in one little device: phone, iPod, web (real web), mail and contacts (and I’m not mentionning games and other misc apps). An important thing also to mention is that all these functions are well implemented and designed which makes them usable on a day to day basis. Notice that I didn’t say an “mp3 player” but an iPod. Sure some things could be better, but for now it is the best device that do all does things and things could get potentially better with some update in the future. I don’t think my old Sony Ericsson phone had an update in the last 5 years I had it.
