First of all, I'm sorry FallenOut, but your post was too long for me to quote in its entirety. I need to edit it, but I'm leaving your main points untouched.
Indeed it has.
User experience trancends things like how smooth the animations look or what the quality of the screen is. If that is the case, my Samsung Wave running on Bada can realistically stake a claim as one of the phones with one of the top user experience as well. But no.
User experience includes things like how intuitive the layout of the UI is. There is a reason why you can see people from various ages ranging from primary school kids to retired grandmas all enjoying their IP4. The IP4, by and large, is a phone that does what you would expect it to do. Things just work.
Of course, the x10 is a very nice phone with certain advantages over the IP4, as I've mentioned. Like the 8MP camera for example. And I'm sure you can name more.
But when it comes to giving its user an overall positive experience, I would rate even my old HTC Hero over the x10, for the simple reason that HTC Sense is more of a joy to use than whatever it is that SE calls their flavour of Android. One thing that you have to understand, good specs does not necessarily = good user experience. The SGS is a prime example of this, and to a lesser extent, so is the x10, in my opinion.
Go reread my post, the part about the appstore, because I think you are missing my point.
You are right, in the sense that how many apps do we really need? I'd say realistically, there are probably only a dozen or two apps that we actually use on a regular basis, and the others are really just there for the novelty factor at best. At worst, they are just taking up space.
However, more choice > no choice. This is a fact.
For example, appstore has Plants vs Zombies. Android market does not (for now at least). This is a fact.
We don't need to argue about the virtues of this game, whether it is a good game or not or whether there are other games similar to it or not. The point is, as an IP4 user my gf has the option to check this game out if she wants to. As an Andriod user, I don't. If I want to, I have to borrow her IP4 to play this game.
So give the IP4 its due when its due. The appstore, as things are currently, is one of the advantages that the iOS has.
intuitive
the longer u get the phone
the laggier it became now
at first my iphone4 was so smooth
bt now
its laggin
n i just hav 3 pages only
compared that to the old iphone2 which i got around 7 to 8 pages

bt i doubt the grandmas will know
things just work
remember a few months back when i stood by iphone4

More apps mean more variety, most of the time when I need to perform soemthing, i will just search in the appstore and download it.
If I wan a guitar tuner on the spot, I just download it.
If I wan to a thesaurus, i just download it.
I get to do what I want on the spot, which is not available on other platform.
FYI, I owned both IOS and Android devices. I can say Android market is full of craps, without proper control, not to mention not all apps are suitable for each android devices(Google framentation on Android platform - imagine having diff Android manufacturers, diff screen size, diff hardware, diff OS, you cant expect the developer to cater for all the androids phone.). Some of the apps even have spyware inside, or does not perform what it claims.
IOS is diff, you will get a surprise everyday. within last few months, there's something known as Tango - Free video calls over internet/3g, then last month got Viber - Free VOIP call. I can see from my contact list more and more people using IPhone, as those software will be able to detect who is using those apps, then ios user can call/video/msg them directly - FOR FREE ! Browsing the AppStore has become a habit, checking for the Top Free apps, of coz one can always browse the Top Gross - mostly some nice games such as Street Fighter, Hot Pursuit 2010, Mortal Kombat and such...These are the apps wont be available on Android(Maybe later, by that time IOS already has 2nd or third version), take Angry bird for example.
I am not an Apple Fan boy, i've been using PDA since Windows CE, then Android, then IOS, i used to hate Apple as their hardware is always inferior compare to others(HTC, Samsung), however, after getting my hands on Apple, I realised that a GREAT hardware without good apps is like a magazine with a good Cover but no contents.
more apps more variety
yup tat is so true
wit iphone4 i can download wat i wan on the spot
wit x10 i can download wat i wan on the spot
in ur reference
u pointed out to a guitar tuner
n a thesaurus
for the guitar im not sure since im not a guitar player
bt for the thesaurus part
android also got it
so wat exactly do u mean
when u say u can dl wat u wan on the iphone4 bt not on other platform
for now i dunno which market has more craps
since i dun hav the luxury of time to browse thru every single app to dl it n to test it out
so u r talkin bout how great iphone4 is
reality check
3g video calls were so last year
even a rm500+ phone can do 3g
