I like how you say bluntly "all major releases had more than 10 improvements/additions" and yet provide no concrete examples. I was simply referencing the Wiki link YOU posted. So you want me to give you the improvements from iPhone v 1.0 through v 2.0? Sure that's easy. Let me see.....just off the top of my head:
As of current release 1.1.4: Double Tap home button for iPod control overlay iTunes Wifi store Multiple screens with movable icons Add bookmark icon to homescreen Gmail IMAP integration Locate Me functionality in Google Maps iPod lyrics support Battery indicator on computer Group SMS messaging threads Support for video out (which, btw, is only supported on a HANDFUL of WM phones) and apparently all these I forgot about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS_version_history That's 10 just FEATURES I named not EVEN including tweaks and performance enhancements that your wiki link on Windows Mobile counted as features.
As you probably well know 2.0 isn't done yet but already we know: Exchange support App Store for OTA installable applications and well just look at the above link for the numerous other features being added for FREE and OFFICIALLY supported (see next paragraph).
As for your current phone being upgradeable twice, I'm really not interested in (don't care about) hearing about how you went on to Howard Forums or XDA developers and downloaded a ROM. That CLEARLY doesn't count. What I'm talking about is OFFICIAL support from Microsoft and the manufacturer that DOESN'T void your warranty.
If all you think the iPhone is a fancy interface, then like I said, you are biased and NOT objective. I'm sorry to say, but most people aren't interested in going to obscure (in the general public's eye) forums online to find a decent WM ROM. Sure, a lot of the reason why the iPhone is popular is because it's cool, but it's also popular with many for another reason: Ease of use and reliability. Those are 2 words that I guarantee you aren't even in Windows Mobile's built in dictionary.
Until you spend more than 5 minutes with an iPhone and actually look at it from a point of view from someone other than your typical taped up-glasses-spec-list-whore NERD, nothing I say to is gonna matter because all you are ever gonna wanna know is when do you get your f*ing VOIP support so that you can pay for cell service minutes AND internet just so that you can feel "cool" talking over the internet over a cell signal and really "stickin' it to the man."
