Wow...iphone is going down...

Well, Steve Jobs should have seen it coming, iPhone’s days of Smartphone market dominance are over.. for good..


With phones such as galaxy S entering market, at relatively low prices  (I am comparing it to iPhone pricing) iphone has a bleak future in a "value for money" sensitive market like India.


The phone is wonderful, more so for android than the hardware, but no issues there too... camera flash is my only possible grudge, Had they had a decent camera flash there, it would have become THE phone,  but then I guess you cant have everything in one device.. can you ??


Fantastic phone otherwise... love it...


Attempt 2 to detail it further -- Some more of it -


Some people have come up and talked about a lag in the performance. Well, I don’t particularly see any lag, though the phone freezes once in a  while (lets say once a week)... BUT I guess that happens to every other  device... windows have got us used to that kind of thing.. though its  not normal at all...


I have also read something about GPS not being perfect, though personally I am yet to test it properly...


Also,  there are a whole lot of improvements reported by people who have  already started using froyo’s leaked ROM. I am not on that yet, so cant  really comment a lot, though froyo’s claims are going to be interesting  to watch on this hardware...


The battery performance is also pretty good. I am a regular net surfer  so GPRS and/or wifi works almost whole day, and the battery easily lives  through. though I havent try waiting through for second consecutive  day...  video player eats a lot of battery though...


Also, I have seen the recorded videos on my 19" monitor and they are as good as anything.. excellent quality.. fantastic resolution. still photos sometime drag due to lack of flash... also some people might not like the absence of zoom, personally I dont mind.
