    Pros: Excellent Interface; Slim Design

    Cons: Every Function/Facility is Average At Best

    Summary: Yes, the iPhone 3GS looks gorgeous and seems to do it all. Take a closer look, however, and you will see that whatever it does others can do better. 3G reception is poor, the Web browser is STILL incomplete (78% of Web sites use Adobe Flash these days), the camera is average, everything is restricted for some unfathomable reason, intergration is deficient etc etc. But it's got a compass! I won't be surprised if Apple attaches a cup holder to it next time and calls that revolutionary ;^)

    Plus, there are godzillions of Apple shills out there, giving anything Apple 5-star reviews. Oh yeah, those people tell the truth, of course...

    "Every function is average? Wow now I know there is something wrong with you.." Ahem, if this is the best counter-argument that you can come up with...

    "There is no better browser on a mobile device..." Oh yes, there is. It's called Opera Mini. It is available for hundreds of mobile devices, it's got Flash, it's got pretty much everything the desktop edition of Opera has.
