Hey Kai, Its the hype backlash. Its also a function of the media lacking objectivity too. All the analysts and media on the iPhone for the most part ignores any faults in the device. Its being poised as the most amazing device this world has ever seen. For the average individual its not that big of a deal cause they may encounter this a few times before launch. For mobile device addicts, this means that we have are bombarded with a ridiculous amount of hype, and I do mean ridiculous. I don't condone the iPhone bashing at all. I think it has potential. I'm just making a suggestion as to why the iPhone bashing exists.
