A lot of good points made (and good sarcism too). I agree with Birdie on the "wait and see" approach with the iphone. I do not see your average, consumer, wireless user being ready for a touchscreen only interface. And Apple's iphone is riding on name alone. Most of its features have been duplicated in mods for windows mobile devices, you can only use apple's apps on the device (until the hackers have there way with it), and so-on and so-on. I really cannot wait to see how this devices does after the initial launch, though.
