This years iphone refresh simply CATCHES UP to the competition in features. How long has like Nokia been using like 5MP integrated cameras? I just would have expected apple to step shit up in more areas.

Just like windows they simply don't send SMS text images which I HATE too.... I'm still kind of in the air between an HTC Touch diamond (raphael) or this new iphone. I'll have to play with both before I make a decision. Windows 6.1 "threading" text messages is a nice improvement. I send a lot of text messages and use my phone for internet more than I do as a phone. Shit using skype and other apps on my phone with unlimited data helps those 500 minutes of mine last forever.
