The iPhone actually has better hardware than alot ot modern 3g iPhones and its colour screen is amazing.
Your forgeting that the iPhone was considered sooo cool that people didn't care about the features it lacked.
I bought the iPhone because everywhere I went people used to go "Sweet, he's got an iPhone"
The iPhone was a fashion statement as only rich people could afford a phone that lacked so many features. People who ditched the iPhone 2g for a 3g should have thought twice as the 3G iphone is not cool anymore and it only has faster internet, which is limited and GPS, which also doesn't give turn by turn directions.
iPhone 2G is still cool as always.
iPhone 3G just sucks as it had no new features in it.
The new iPhone 2G is now going to be the SE Xperia X1, as it looks good, has heck of a lot of features, is a proper smartphone and is going to be rare due to it's expensivve price.
Who is the iPhone actually aimed for????
It's not really a smartphone so it can't be aimed for business people, it's not for people who text a lot, not for people who surf the internet(no Java or Flash and limited internet speeds) etc..

Xperia here I come!!

J.D. Power and Associates disagrees with you. It ranked the iPhone as the best business phone. And in their business...their word is god.

I am hoping the Xperia comes to AT&T because that is the phone I am waiting for as well. It outclasses all others. It will be AT&T or Tmobile or both as it runs on all frequencies.

sale666 - so you're saying that the iPhone should cost $10, because that's how much the chips inside it cost to make? That's like saying you should be able to go buy a cd for 10 cents because that's how much it cost to press the disc. You are completely ignoring the cost of R&D, and the fact that Apple still engineered the product. Sure, I could go out and buy the samsung processor and other parts, but it would just be a pile of junk without the engineering that went into making the parts work together. Also, the extremely low cost of components only comes after prototyping, and well into mass production. How do you expect Apple to recoup the cost of prototyping, and the early low-yield manufacturing stages?
