Add in that it is a almost a weak laptop for me and I have to say I love my iPhone. Do others do all this? Maybe but do they do it easy and why didn't they tell us they did all this?
My HTC running WinMo 6.1 already does more than the iPhone can at this point. I can run Tom Tom, Garmin or any number of GPS programs. I can run emulators and play all the games, it's even got a huge library of games already. It might not have the storage capacity, but I can play all my MP3s and pretty much any video files. There's also a browser that uses the same Webkit functionality that the Safari browser for iPhone uses, AND it can play flash from within the browser...something the iPhone can't do. Hell, like I said...I've even made my GUI look and operate EXACTLY like the interface on the iPhone. Plus I can easily send pics and video, I still don't think the iPhone can even do those simple things without additional App support.

I really have no issue with the iPhone other than it being ATT only here in the US. Why neglect 70+% of the US Cellphone market? In the end, that will be their downfall. I believe it's still an ATT exclusive for a few more years.

I guess you didn't read either. LG and Samsung are both contributing partners on the Android project.
