mine work absolutely fine... Maybe is ur telco prob or ur sim card problem

i am not bias. I owned a iphone 3GS before, Ipod Nano and even ipod touch. For me when there are limitation it makes me feel hard to breath. I have to admit the graphics and applications/games available are alot.

Agreed! The branding and ability to show off is another Major key point. Its like the IN thing or must have famous device.

Anyway, I didn't generalize la, where can generalize, what I mean is those uncles, construction workers I know and met during the prayers are not technology literate.
Not entirely true. Its probably your company acquire the right resources, libraries and stuffs. iPhone has strict control and checking compared with others and the good thing is they ensure that the apps is built properly according to their specifications, there's no extras devel or testing app for end users, the app mus be stable and properly built. The reason Apple got lotsa app is because there're man users, and when you own an Apple, and when you register iTunes, everything involes $$$. Purchasig app is so very the easy, just a touch of a button it can charge directly to your credit card with no delays as they acquired your security code as well. Now tell me, who doesn't want to develop app for iPhone? I would love to develop for iPhone if you ask me to choose which platform I would choose to  develop.

For symbian, windows mobile, its also very easy, for Symbian Nokia provided SDK for it since long ago. Plus Symbian OS is not strict as iPhone OS.
As for Maemo, its even better, there're so many language to choose from, and Qt is supported from the very start. Better yet, many Linux app can be ported, as example aMSN, Chromium, OpenDune, Stratagus, Theme Hospital, etc.

Anyway, the app/fame market is leaning more towards iPhone due to there is more market, users which pays for it, etc. Many games developed can actually be ported/rebuilt/etc for another platform if they want to.

Actually it depends on the developer, for Maemo, there're various language to choose from and when developing for platforms, the more flexibility the more we can do, the easier, the more possibility.
The more restriction, means more simple and in a way it is also easy to do because there's only so much is allowed.
Hard to implement or not really depends if you understand the platform and so on. For example, if you're very experience in C Programming and it's developments tools, suddenly switching to another language and new developments tools, due to unfamiliar, it becomes hard; but for experience people for that tools, it's easy as cake.
Then again, it also depends on the SDK or libraries, since iPhone has been around for some time, their SDK or libraries would've improve a lot.

When there's no or little restriction, there opens much more possibilities and more things you can do, thus there is drawback. It's very simple, the more you control and restrict, the more safe and control you have. Similarly, if Windows have many restrictions, limitations, control, etc. there will be less attack, less virus, less hacking. Many hacking actually take advantage of what is GOOD for people. Simply put, the more doors you open to make it more user friendly, more flexibility, you will sacrifice some security. A simple example is internet banking, because security is top priority, there are many limitations, controls, restrictions, etc. which cause the internet banking not as nice to use as normal websites.

In terms of 3D, the specs of N900, Milestone, iPhone 3GS more or less the same, but the iPhone 4G will be a total different story. iPad games are in HD version as seen from iTunes, and iPhone 4G have similar processor as the iPad?
Plus, with no multi-tasking in iPhone OS3, and no homescreen processes running, no widgets running, etc. the iPhone 3GS will have more resource to run games more smoothly than other smartphones. Thus, it's really a good entertainment/gaming device. A good example would be iPod Touch 3G VS iPhone 3GS, with iPod Touch 3G using less processing power/resources (e.g. no phone calls, etc), it load games faster, smoother too.
Though, having lack of physical control pad, not all games are nice to play; Many games, I find I really want to use a physical control pad or the R1 or L1 button. Too bad some games were not available for PSP, there special games made specific for iPhone, that's how popular it is.
