Being a certifiable geek myself I can tell you that, for the most part, geeks don't get it. This phone will be a smash hit despite its lack of HSPDA, an SDK or any other irrelevant set of initials.
After 25 years of building businesses in the wireless industry I believe that I've got a bit of credibility here - I've owned, carried and helped design cell phones and systems since (OMG, I can't believe I'm about to say this) before many of you were born... or at least before you started high school. That's right - I've had a phone in my car, backpack (never a briefcase) or pocket for - are you sitting down - 30 years.
If you want the full opinion check out my blog - I just wrote a piece called "The Geeks Don't Get It - 10 Reasons The iPhone Will Be A Smash Hit."
