It's cause it's the same phone!!!!!! Just renamed! They need to actually throw in a radio and HD screen learn from the Zune HD!!!!!! HD radio would be sweet in a phone!
Agreed. From the perspective of someone who regards the iPhone/iTouch as a multipurpose handheld computing device, not as a phone, the half VGA screen has always been the deal killer for me. I look with some envy at the slickness of the iPhone, but each time I step back from getting it for that reason.
I've been using a multitasking PDA with full VGA 4" screen for nearly 5 years (the iPaq 4700). How can I possibly downgrade to a iPhone?
It's taken Apple 7 years to catch up to other who's been offering the basic features like MMS, Cut & Paste, etc since 2002! I won't even mention the other 3G basics the likes of video calling, etc....
... and now, every man and their dog are starting to offer 5MP cameras, OLED screens, etc.... looks like Apple is going to be further behind if they only "update" their iPhone once every 12 months.
IF any one really needs App Store, I'd say you'd be better off getting an iPod Touch instead. Definitely cheaper and with no strings attached.
