6. It's ironic really
By the time their iPhone came to europe... it was behind.
Every phone here with a camera, has 2, one face forward for Video chatting
Every phone here already does what the iPhone does for about 5 years now - sony came out with the Walkman phone first.
nearly all other touch phones are better as far as touch functions, and all cameras on modern phones are larger.
ALL phones (with cameras) have removable/easily upgradeable memory cards. Most use SDHS micro now (mine does)

All other phones have the very basic PICK UP and HANG UP buttons, that are pretty much necessary to have a phone.

the iPhone is behind the times, too expensive, too slow, too limited, and too kitchy!

that said it's doing very well here anyway, because it's Apple.

But because of European law, apple M U S T sell it stand alone, so that you can change the SIM and go with another carrier is you want.

apple was N O T happy about that :)

oh well. I have a Sony Xperia. Very happy with it, love the keyboard. I'm a large guy so a brick doesn't bother me. I'm hoping to get a Nokia when my contract is up (but that's another year off LOL). I am totally done with WinCE.

At least the iphone doesn't crash as much... well that I know of. But I'm glad I have easy access to my battery if I need.
